I’m proud of my own flag – I assume others are too.
I’ve added the Indonesian flag to my sidebar, as many Indonesian people visit my blog (almost 11000 views), and occasionally I get comments in Indonesian (Thanks Google translate).

So – Welcome and hello to all my Indonesian readers, best wishes to you all. Thankyou for reading and visiting my blog.
