Back To Palembang, Jakarta, and ....home
We had a day to explore Palembang with our host
family. We were able to visit several cultural cites and get a feel for the
city. Because we were traveling with the family I think we experienced the city
differently than if we had be adults alone. It was a fun experience that really
highlighted the cultural diversity found in Indonesia. We visited historical locations from
colonial times, as well as Buddhist and native cultural cites. All of these
different perspectives were infused with the modern Muslim culture. In American we are of many different cultures and differences are celebrated. In Indonesia the national identity is firmly established as Muslim. It is a uniting factor that makes the city life and culture cohesive. As a population with many differences, the Indonesians are united by their Muslim culture.
