I was born in Indonesia almost 23 years ago. My Dad is a Chinese and my Mom is Indonesian. So no wonder, I don't have Chinese eyes & skin. At first, I don't mind about it at all. Some called my skin is exotic, some hated it, and some don't give a shit. As for me, I was wondering why I'm different from my friends at elementary school, but then I found out & I don't give a shit. I was perfectly fine with my own skin until one day I applied my American visa and realized how BAD our image as Indonesian in American's eyes. We described as "alien" who want to travel to America to be a "smuggler". Thanks to bad publicity such as terrorist thingy. Not once, not twice, but several bombs have exploded in Bali, in Jakarta, etc. In short, my visa was rejected. I feel terrible to see how bad Indonesian in the world's eyes.. Despite our rich natures, Indonesia have a lot troubles inside. I don't have to write this sensitive issue one by one...
