Using the Internet, todays students can learn about countries directly from how they describe themselves, as from this beautifully revealing site. Indonesia, we learn, is the worlds 4th most populous nation, with 30 distinct ethnic groups, and 50 years of independence. The site provides history, economic and political information, and dispels some myths. The sections on tropical forests (which the Indonesians treasure and protect) and on Understanding East Timor are marvelous accounts of nature, history and national achievement.
