Congratulation to All Americans
04 November 2008
Today's November 4 election has brought about the new leader of the United States of America: Barack Obama.
As much as it is a historic moment for the US, it also is for the world. "Yes we can!" said Obama; and change is in America.
I know many friends who are avid supporters of Obama, old and young, wanting for a change. Congratulation for a dream comes true.
We all hope that Obama arrival in the White House would bring better America; better global diplomacy; a better future for everybody.
Welcome President-elect Barack Obama---your inauguration awaits January 20.
Congratulation to all American friends!

Welcoming the New President of the United States
01 November 2008
November 4, 2008 is the time. The 2008 election. American voters would decide the new president of this great country.
The world is observing; some anticipation. John McCain or Barack Obama---both are new to the world. Both the US and the world are hoping for the best president to sit in the oval office.
So much is expected. This Tuesday, the time to tell. Both candidates have had their chances to talk; laid out and explained their programs. Debates. Campaigns.
When voters decide, we will see. I join all hope for the best to you, America!

Great! US Travel Warning for Indonesia Lifted
26 May 2008
Effective May 23, US travel warning for Indonesia has been lifted, making the country a prospective destination for more US tourists.
The announcement of this positive decision was made by US Ambassador to Indonesia Cameron R. Hume as stated by in a press release of the Embassy in Jakarta on May 25.
Indeed, Indonesia is a safe country and has made a lot of progress in strengthening security and stability. A democratic country, Indonesia is an important stronghold for global democracy, given its size and achievement in reform.
With the lifting of this travel warning, which was issued in November 2000, there should be more opportunities for closer people-to-people exchanges and cooperation. Tourism, education, social affairs and many other field of cooperation should be further explored and developed.
I do applaud this long overdue decision made by the US, of which also a sign of better point of views on Indonesia's current development.
