Is religion so important for us??

I want to tell you about differences and similarities of religion between Indonesia and Australia. Some people very religious but some people just use the religion as a lifestyle or a background. Why it can be happen?? What is the way of people respond it?? We will discuss it.

The similarities are there are a lot of religion both in Indonesia and Australia and we had a freedom to choose the religion.In Indonesia the Moslems are more dominant, it can reach until 80%, but in Australia the Christian tradition is more dominant. The second, both of them have a religious school, maybe it can be Moslem school or Christian school. Each school has their own rules for the students, usually they have very strict rules e.g. : pray together, must pray before you eat your meal and etc.

Finally, I want to tell you about an important topic. Is religion so important for us ???? That's a big question for us because, some people think that religion just a background. I think that statement is concluded as a bad lifestyle for me maybe for the others too. On the other hand, there are people who are totally Moslems or totally Christians and etc. Actually, we must master 3 aspects : IQ, EQ, and SQ if we want to be a success people. If we miss one of them we will be an unsuccesful people because we don't have a balance in our mind.

For me religion is important but, What about you?? Do you think it seriously or just a background ??

Why not Surabaya ??

Why not Surabaya ??

The delagation had an excursion to the Indonesian Consulate with the students who learn Indonesian at Melville High School. We were very interested when we saw a video about Indonesian culture. There was a lot of culture shown on the video, but the Surabayan delegation felt disapointed because there was no part of the video about Surabaya. That was alright, because we were very satisfied when we played the gamelan and angklung. It was amazing to play the traditional music from Java with the students from Melville SHS .

We also had a good experience when we interviewed one of the students who learn Indonesian. We asked, " What do you know about Indonesia? and What Indonesian words can you say?". Then, he answered," I know that Indonesia has a lot of culture and it's very popular with its history. Now, I just can say Selamat pagi, Selamat siang, Selamat malam, Terima kasih and nama saya Zac." All of Indonesian people must be proud because Australian people know the history of Indonesia.Then, we asked him again," Why do you want to learn Indonesian?",He answered ," Because, it's a challenge for me to learn a cool country's language and it will help me when I grow up, because I want to stay in Indonesia someday." That was a cool and weird answer for us because actually most Indonesian people want to live in a better country than Indonesia. On the other hand, all of us felt very satisfied on this trip. We saw positive sides of Indonesia in this excursion to the consulate.
