Indonesia the place to be?

One of the famous places to visit by visitors is Bali because of its beautiful beaches.Indonesia is famous for bali which is one of the more developed places in terms for tourism. There are also many other forms of leisure activities that could be found elsewhere in Indonesia. Like for example the Tabut festival where villagers build and decorate a bouraq( winged horses) where it is is decorated with a face of a woman. When a bouraq crosses path with another they would have to fight. This type of festivals are unique to Indonesia as it could only be found there and no where else.

Indonesia also has their own theme parks. But I will talk about the more famous one which is called the Ancol Dreamland. It is located in Ancol Bay City which is near Jakarta. The themepark has over 40 rides and they have themed areas in the themepark like seaworld and ocean dream.

This is where i notice the disneylization of the country as it is evident in their themeparks. As we all know Disney is popular for having themed sections in their themeparks like for example the fairy section in disney land and they also have the so called futuristic section where there is buzz lightyer from the movie Toy Story. Therefore this is where i spot the disney in this place. Also one of my friends has actually been there and he told me that there was mascots at the area. That is another sign of disney that i have came to notice.
