Magic is a huge industry in Indonesia. In fact, there's a podcast hosted by one of my favorite magicians, Brian Brushwood, who recently performed on live television in

Indonesia. 80 million Indonesians sat down in front of their televisions to watch his performance. That's one-third of the entire country!

The Indonesian National Revolution lasted for four years, between 1945 and 1949, beginning when Indonesia declared its independence from the Netherlands.

The Javanese are the largest ethnic group in Indonesia. Javanese is often spoken alongside with Indonesian and most of Indonesia's culture comes from that of the Javanese.
