Unfortunately, like it or not, and whether consciously or not, Indonesia is like the pretty dangerous for tourists from some countries, particularly countries outside the Asian continent. Behind the beauty and elegance of natural sandstone immeasurably, no pinch dangers often lurk foreign tourists who are lured to roam Indonesia. So also with the risk of other hazards that can be a serious threat because the problem of cultural differences and local customs.So, do not be surprised if some countries such as America and Australia often equip citizens who will travel to Indonesia with a number of warnings and appeals are familiarly known by the term travel warning.Well, as a good host and preparing to receive visitors from abroad, why not sin if you want to know some travel warning cheat are often echoed at foreign tourists. Calculated so we knew what the heck Indonesia in the shadow of our prospective guests who come from different countries. Some of the points below are excerpted from an official travel warning announcements from various countries, while others are excerpted from testimony tourists who already visited Indonesia. And this is how some countries assessment of the situation in Indonesia:

1. "Because Indonesia vulnerable to terrorist attack, guard during a visit to Indonesia!"
 

Sad indeed, but we must also be heartened to admit that the threat of terrorism often a scourge for anyone, including foreign tourists.Which should make us wince, because terrorism is then attached to the image as Indonesia. Evident from the many travel warning about the dangers of terrorism in Indonesia issued by the governments of various countries. The average of these countries warned their citizens to be extra careful when going to crowded places such as nightclubs and bars, Bali, Jakarta, and other places associated with the United States because it is often used as the target of terrorism. Sad, yes, because the act of some people we become synonymous with terrorism ..

2. "Not only prone to terrorism, Indonesia is also prone to unrest. Avoid popped into areas prone to conflict, and stay away from activities of the demonstration. "

This point was worth making us stroking his chest. As an Indonesian, we should be proud to be known as one of the nation teramah in the world. Unfortunately, the friendly character in contrast to the many riots and conflict that often took place in a number of areas.Foreign tourists usually advised to "reconsider" the travel plan-prone areas such as Maluku, Papua, West Papua, Central Sulawesi, and Aceh. Some countries even specifically asked its citizens to avoid gathering in religious places during religious moment for fear of the potential for conflict between religions. Duh ...Another addition, some serious countries warned their citizens to avoid demonstrations and protests of any kind.

Do you think this fact or excessive anxiety alone?

3. "Indonesia is prone to natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, floods and volcanic eruptions. Searching for information on evacuation procedures as much as possible before visiting Indonesia! "

In fact, our country is one of the countries prone to natural disasters. And the fact also that our disaster action system is not as sophisticated in countries that have made natural disaster as a "friend" who should be recognizable as possible.Perhaps that is why some countries require their citizens to seek information about the conditions in Indonesia before deciding to menjejakan foot in our beloved country, plus cautioned their citizens to study the evacuation procedures in case of a disaster at any time in the middle of the travel time.

4. "Indonesia is also prone to crime, and unfortunately many crimes are deliberately targeting tourists."This is one fact that should make us grin in embarrassment. Behind the incessant slogan "Wonderful Indonesia" created to promote our tourism, the fact remains there are still some types of crimes that are familiar to greet foreign tourists. Here are a few that are often underlined by foreign tourists who've come to Indonesia that you can find yourself in a variety of forums.

No one country is 100% free of crime, including Indonesia. But if they say if mugging, pickpocketing, and fraud at the ATM (such as installing a fake telephone number) is regarded as things to watch while in Indonesia, we are required to make introspection. Do all three types of crimes that are too often the case here as to be a scourge for our candidates?Anyway, the problem jambret, pickpockets and scams in this ATM is not specifically targeting foreign tourists and it can affect anyone who is not shaded by Dewi Fortuna. But quite a lot of foreign travelers who share experiences around jambret, pickpockets, and ATM fraud issue is to warn other foreign tourists to be extra careful while in the crowd. And be careful when making eye contact with the local residents, especially if it were walking in the area rather quiet, because it could be an excuse to rob tourists. Wow!

5. "Be careful of the dangers of rabies in Bali, Nias and Lombok."
 

One of the countries that issued a warning about the dangers of rabies in Indonesia is Australia. And in fact it was only natural considering the current Bali is facing the danger of rabies, while the number of Australian tourists who made Bali as their favorite destination in Indonesia is quite significant. Hopefully the dangers of rabies in Bali and other areas in Indonesia soon be overcome in order not to make foreign tourists anxious to visit Indonesia ya!

Travel warning that this is indeed true. It's no secret that more cash is familiar welcome at the various attractions in Indonesia.

England were quite clearly illustrates the traffic conditions in Indonesia for its citizens who are interested to fly to Indonesia, and unfortunately the picture is not a positive picture.There are few descriptions about traffic conditions in Indonesia - especially in big cities - that is going to make you wince shame was so accurate. The traffic in big cities in Indonesia, especially Jakarta, described as "dangerous, crowded, messy and undisciplined".The traffic lights are often ignored, safety awareness of traffic is still very low, vehicles (mainly buses and trucks) often carry overloaded, the offense will be the speed limit is often the case, the use of the road shoulder undue motors that control the streets and often against the direction, cars are not equipped with adequate safety belt for the passenger seat, and many other details that are too striking to be written here.American tourists who intend to drive in Indonesia was advised to hire an experienced driver of the company; one factor is due to the high rate of road accidents in Indonesia. Moreover, very dangerous to drive at night because the majority of the new driver will turn on the lights when the day really dark. The other reason is to minimize the risk of traffic accidents due to the ambulance in Indonesia are still less reliable. Cough, cough ....



11. "In Indonesia, not only in the city streets are dangerous. Traffic between islands should also be wary. "

 

Ever heard of a number of domestic air crash accident that occurred in Indonesia?

It is very unfortunate given our geographical conditions of an archipelago, and domestic flights it is important to reach many other beautiful areas in Indonesia spread across various islands.Britain also urged its citizens to be careful when choosing domestic flights in Indonesia. The main reason for only a fraction Indonesian airlines that can operate in the European Union and meet international safety standards.Not only air transport issues are to be highlighted. Transportation between islands became special attention from a number of countries because of several accidents that have occurred, particularly accidents caused by human factors. Hopefully our inter-island transport network is getting better so that foreign tourists can explore the various islands in Indonesia calmly yes!


12. "Do not bring narcotics into Indonesia!"
