I get it. You're a good bitcoiner. You've read Confessions of an Economic Hit Man like three times now. But where the hell did he actually go when he said he left Jakarta for Bandung? Where do all the shitcoiners actually go when they buy those Lambos and travel to Bali? Where is that country that Bukele keeps tweeting as a single word over and over again? Where's that island that all your coffee flavors are named after? Do you know about East Timor?
It's time for us to study Indonesia and it's neighbors!
Indonesia and the Southeast Asian Geography Quiz
Also, first person to post a perfect score gets a zap of 1000 sats from me.
As always, if you live in, are from, or otherwise have a stronger relationship with Southeast Asia than me, please let me know what needs to be fixed or improved upon!
I forgot I suck at geography
never forget, totally forgot
Practice makes perfect! You can do it!
As a Singaporean, I think I will expose my ignorance since I know the bare minimum about my neighbours haha
Trying it now. Here goes nothing
How’d you do?
Bad.
Did better at identifying countries, but I only got Sumatra right haha
I also finally learnt the location of East Timor even though it was inaugurated into ASEAN last year
Yeah, with the exception of Sulawesi, I’ve known ABOUT the big islands of Indonesia all my life. It wasn’t until I put this together and did it a couple of times that I knew which one was which though. Honestly, I was kind of surprised to discover how small Java is. I always assumed it was the biggest. I also always previously thought Bali was like way out by itself in the ocean.
I never knew you were from Singapore, by the way. Very cool! I’d love to hear your take on all of its growth, crises, and development if you’re ever interested in sharing, or already have any posts about that that are worth checking out.
I’m intrigued! How come you have had an intimate knowledge of Indonesia from a young age?
Since you asked, I wrote about the bitcoin situation in Singapore two years ago, and I believe most of the things I mentioned then still remain valid today!
I’ll check this post out!
I think most Americans know all those names. They’re just kind of in the zeitgeist. We just don’t know where they are! Haha I’m learning now though.
