Learning about Indonesia

The theme of English Corner in July 8 was about Indonesia. The STEPs member gave presentations on 'capital, climate, greeting, money, food, souvenirs' and so on. In addition, they talked about the taboo in Indonesia.
I would like to easily introduce the contents they presented.

・Capital : Jakarta

・Climate
Tropical rainforest climate
The dry season --- May ~ October
The rainy season --- November ~ April

・Food
Indonesian food is famous for spices.
Sate (One of the most popular dishes) like Japanese Yakitori
Most of Indonesian people belong to Islamic religion, who never eat pork and drink.

・Taboo
You must not use your left hand. (as much as possible)
It is prohibited to pat children's head
You should not take a photograph at the temple and use flash during a ceremony.

We can get much fundamental knowledge of Indonesia in these presentations. We can ask questions to Indonesian students and Professors by getting much fundamental knowledge before we visit Indonesia. I am going to get more knowledge of not only Indonesia but also Japan. And, I would like to prepare for the good self-introduction in English.
Thank you!
