こんにちはみんなさん。
Let me introduce my self in Nihongo.
はじめまして、わたしはダヌです。ダヌヅウィサンジョヨです。インドネシア人です。わたしは金沢大学の博士学生です。専門はでんしいじょうほうです。
That’s it, I think enough for the introduction of me. First of all, I would like to say thank you for this special opportunity. I am very glad to join this Exchange Activity with Nanao High School students. Sorry to say that we could not meet directly, due to this difficult situation of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this session, I want to give a presentation about my home country, Indonesia.
Wonderful Indonesia. Indonesia is a beautiful country. As the biggest country in South East Asia, it has 17.491 islands as the largest island country in the world. Indonesia is the most populous country number #4 in the world, after China, India, and the United States. There are more than 250 million people in the population. The special characteristics of Indonesia people are they have categorized over 300 ethnic groups and over 700 regional languages.
Explaining my country need so many minutes or maybe hours. I will also need many words to describe Indonesia. Because of the limited time, at this time I will focus on Indonesia’s Extreme Tourism.
- Snorkeling in BUNAKEN
- Bunaken Island National Marine Park includes 5 small islands located in the north of Sulawesi Island. Bunaken Island itself is the most accessible and the most visited place. Actually, it is the most famous diving and snorkeling destination in Indonesia. The exploration snorkeling area covers 2 kilometers in length shore. Corals are very qualitative over the whole area. The most colorful and majestic of all is the angelfish. Queen angelfish are most often seen around the reef flat, which is very photogenic.
