In Indonesia, including Bali, social
and religious duty has, over time, been refined to form a code of behavior
called adat or traditional law. Islam is the predominant religion of the archipelago
but it's somewhat tempered by elements of Hindu-Buddhism, adat and animism.
In Java, including Yogyakarta especially, there are hundreds of places where
spiritual energy is thought to be concentrated and can be absorbed by followers.
Despite a lengthy colonial period, missionaries were only successful in converting
small pockets of the Indonesian population to Christianity - the Bataks of
Sumatra, the Toraks of Sulawesi and 95% of the population of Flores being
notable examples. Over 300 languages are spoken in the archipelago and most
belong to the Malay-Polynesian group. Within this group, many regional languages
and dialects are spoken. The lingua franca of the archipelago is Bahasa Indonesia,
which is almost identical to Malay. It uses a number of foreign words, indicating
the long history of contact Indonesia has had with other cultures.
Batik
art, the art of applying wax to cloth and then tie-dying in colourful
and dramatic designs, is produced throughout Indonesia, and the centre of
this activity is Yogyakarta in Java. Other handmade craft forms include: ikat,
which is a type of weaving with tie-dyed threads; songket, a silk cloth with
gold or silver threads woven into it; and kris, artwork often decorated with
jewels. Javanese wayang (puppet) plays and gamelan (hypnotic music composed
mostly of percussive instruments) are also popular artistic forms. Many Indonesian
dishes are Chinese-influenced, but some, such as Padang food from Sumatra,
are distinctly home-grown. Wherever you travel in Indonesia you'll see vendors
selling snacks such as potatoes, sweet nuts, biscuits or fruit. Rice is the
basis of each meal, eaten as a soup or with an assortment of hot and spicy
side dishes, salad and pickles. Nasi goreng (fried rice) is the most common
dish, while sate (skewered meats with a spicy peanut sauce), gado-gado (bean
sprouts and vegies in peanut sauce) and seafood are also popular. The variety
of tropical fruits grown would make a greengrocer swoon. They include custard
apples, durians, guavas, jackfruit, mangoes, papayas, star fruits and rambutans.
