First of all, what is in your mind when you heard about Indonesia? Indonesia is often called as the island nation, since it has approximately 17,000 islands and its rich of culture which has 742 local languages ​​and has 33 provinces. Indonesia today cannot be denied that many tourists, both local and foreign tourists at once attracted by the culture of Indonesia.

Long time ago, there was news about the claimant's culture that seized by other countries. It's normal if we were to have a sense of nationalism to continue to maintain and preserve the richness of Indonesian culture that we have.

To protect Indonesian culture, it is appropriate that the government makes certain policies, may be a way the Act is clarified, create documents that in detail about the culture that Indonesia has. So that whenever a culture of other countries recognizes that Indonesia disinclined to us, because we have stronger evidence with the Law or evidence documents that in detail.

I am as a younger generation of Indonesia would like to invite the community to learn about Indonesian culture that is very rich. Indonesian culture is able to make foreign tourists attracted even come to learn the culture that we have, for example, dances, traditional musical instruments, etc. 

Honestly, I am as a younger generation really likes to learn the culture that I have today. Hopefully, in the future may be the same as other communities are hoping that there is no thefts culture, let's together we keep and preserve the culture of Indonesia that is is very rich. I have often heard the word "great nation is a nation that can appreciate their culture itself". May we all have the same sense of nationalism.

Indonesia is a nation that is rich in culture. There are 34 provinces are now owned by Indonesia, certainly in each province having an individual culture that stand out. For example, in terms of clothing. Each area would have its own regional typical traditional clothes, right? Even some of the culture of Indonesia is also well known to the entire world. 

In addition to the already global culture, it turns out there are also some common habits of Indonesian society that is unique in the eyes of the foreigners. The habit of eating rice, for example. How else would, rice has become our staple food. 3 times a day we eat rice, there may even be more than 3 times. According to Caucasians, we are not concerned with the health rules, IE 40% carbohydrate (rice), 60% for side dishes and vegetables. In fact, we are eating upside down.

Here, I am going to write down about the Indonesian cuisine called "Rendang" that was named the first rank in the list of World's 50 Most Delicious Foods (50 dishes are the yummiest World) held by CNN International.
