As an Indonesian, i personally like the various forms of cultural heritage (physical and intangible such as tradition, artistic expressions, etc) that this country has. I like Batik shirts, Javanese and Balinese architecture, Minang cuisine, paintings, etc. Certainly they’re worth preserving as Indonesia modernizes along the way. One thing that i’m rather disappointed is the fact that Jakarta’ old town is not really well maintained. There are lots of old colonial buildings which have been left to rot for years already. I hope it’ll change soon though, as the old town area of Jakarta is the only place which may attract tourists the most.
Other than that, i do think that we need to put more attention to preserve our culture. As a developing economy, we may think that traditional culture doesn’t have a place in a modern society. But i think that’s a wrong mindset. I’d love to have my future house to be built in traditional Balinese architectural style with a modern interior.
