Thailand or Indonesia???? ONLY KNOWLEDGEABLE PEOPLE PLEASE!!?
I'm planning a two-week (this is subject to change) trip to south East Asia...I was originally interested in going to Thailand... I've kinda been obsessed with Thailand for a pretty long time...and just recently i've begun thinking about Indonesia...i'm planning this trip for December of 2012 (I'm a broke college student so i need some time to save up the money.lol.) ANYWAY, my question really is which one do you recommend?? which one is more interesting?? has nicer beaches?? etc...most importantly which one would be cheaper...i understand that by western standards they are both fairly cheap...I think that by the time i'm ready to go I'll have saved a little over $3,000, which i know is really not very much...but i'm not looking for a lot of luxury...i mainly just want to go somewhere different and exotic.lol. ANy information you can give me is appreciated!!! OH, and how much money do you think i should save up?? is 3000 adequate?

Indonesia for SURRRRRRRRRRE nice place good people i met sum people there i also read TIME or sum othr magazine where they TotALLY recommended going there go2 the beaches talk to the people youll gain alot frm it n have fun inshallah
2 :
You're gonna spent your 2012 winter solstice (Mayan New Cycle) there? Anyway, comparing between Thailand and Indonesian. Thailand is safer and Caucasian friendlier. eg. Jakarta riot vs Bangkok riot. $3000 should be enough for a bag packer since your flight is not gonna be cheap.
3 :
By the time you plan to come, the price of an airline ticket will be over $1,500, the baht will be worth 20 to the $. Either save more or forget about Thailand and just visit Atlantic City.
4 :
never been to Indonesia, but I *love* Thailand. As it is less muslim than Indonesia, probably better partying there. December is high season, though...but if you want to do it on the cheap, I bet you will find a way
5 :
Even if your plane ticket costs $2000 next year you can definitely get by with $1000 for the 10 days in Thailand. I think you could even stay little longer if you are careful. Backpackers on a budget manage to make do at half your money. Of course if you have a problem handling money now you will have a problem in either country. Keep in mind that December is just about the most expensive time of the year to visit this area! From November to the end of January is when hotels are at the highest prices. December & January especially around the Christmas-New Years holidays have the highest prices for flights. Other times of the year are usually much cheaper. My suggestion is Thailand unless you are in some sort of seminary or nunnery that abhors drinking, partying or the occasional tryst with someone who interests you! You don't mention if you are a male or female, if you are female Bali keeps women coming back again and again for the Kuta Cowboys. But over the past few years since the terrorist bombings their destination has been more for Phuket. If you are a normal young man who prefers women and partying (along with beaches and normal tourist stuff) then choose Thailand. In Indonesia, except for mostly Bali, because of religious reasons you may have to dampen your enthusiasm. Thailand has a more liberal attitude when it comes to nightclubs and bars and lots of fun things! Thailand is more used to Western tourists showing up just about everywhere. Transportation is excellent in Thailand and reasonably priced. I think Thailand does tourism better than any country in that part of Asia! Indonesia had around 7 million tourists in 2010 and Thailand had around 15 million. Here are some helpful travel forums you can use for either country but between the two I think Thailand would be safer and offer more diversity for Westerners! http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowForum-g293916-i3687-o20-Bangkok.html http://www.lonelyplanet.com/thorntree/forum.jspa?forumID=51 http://forum.virtualtourist.com/forum-1943-1-Travel-Thailand-1-forum.html Good luck.

Bali is ok - but all in all - Indo. does not compare to the people & culture of Thailand... which is going to be far safer and not nearly as poor and depressing... Bali is Hindi, Indonesia is Islamic and Thailand is Buddhist - - I only mention this because it makes a difference in both safety and demeanor of the people... come to Thailand..
7 :
Go to indonesia if you want to get kidnapped and put up for ransom.
8 :
INDONESIA!! especially bali..
9 :
Indonesia has great surf beaches and is a little bit cheaper. Thailand tops it in every other area.

1. Gross National Product (google for more info.) 2. Some what capitalistic but quickly becoming more socialist. 3. Our federal government has been taken over by a group of socialist criminal thugs who do not care about even following our constitution.
2 :
GDP is gross domestic product (not national). It is the final goods and services produced inside the US borders. It is by geography not who makes it. A Japanese automaker making a car inside the US DOES count toward GDP 2. economic system is a market based capitalist system 3. political system is a representative democracy. That is people elect government officials who in term represent them in the government. THE U.S. IS NOT A DEMOCRACY sorry i don't understand the last part. GNP (gross national product) is final goods and services produced by U.S. citizens regardless of where they are; GDP I said earlier

Why hello! To answer your questions: 1) GDP is Gross Domestic Product. It's the value of all the goods and services produced WITHIN a country's borders. 2) The US is a somewhate regulated capitalistic system. For example we set price controls on essentials such as food and water, but no price controls on non-essentials such as televisions. We are not a Laissez-faire capitalism. The above description I gave is a simplification of what actually goes on here but I'd say it's accurate for the most part. 3) We're a representative republic. That means we elect people to represent us, and those representatives do the actual footwork of voting on bills (in general). We're not a democracy since every citizen doesn't vote on every bill. That might sound like America-bashing but it isn't, true democracies are virtually impossible to implement in a country with a large population. 4) The difference between GDP (Gross Domestic Product) and GNP (Gross National Product) is that the GDP is the value of goods/services produced WITHIN (stressing this) a country's physical borders, while the GNP is the value of goods/services produced by citizens of a country, regardless of physical location. So as an example consider a Nissan (brand of car) manufacturer here in the US. Nissan is a Japanese owned company. For the US GDP you would include the value of everything made by that factory (it is located in the US), but for the US GNP you would exclude the value (it is owned by the Japanese). "what you doing in office company you ?" Sorry I have no idea what you're saying here :/

Yes, you can. But, you must put the parents information and income information (converted to US Dollars) with whom you lived with the most recently on your fafsa application. Even if it has been several years. You will have to get your parents tax forms (from whatever country they live). When it asks for that parents Social Security number enter in nine 0's ( 000-00-0000 ) and print out the signature page and mail the signature page to them so they can sign it. They then need to mail the signed signature page to the address on the paper. You MUST have at least ONE parents information on your fafsa application (and if that parent is remarried their spouses income information as well). If you do not put parent information you will only get Unsubsidized student loans to go to college. The college must have a federal school code... generally these are in the US, with a few exceptions.

Does it Bother You That Obama Sold Drugs to Pay for College?
Does it Bother You That Obama Sold Drugs to Pay for College?
Most of us worked real jobs (like me) and took out student loans to pay for college (like me). Barack Hussein Obama however, paid for his 2 years at Occidental in Los Angeles, by selling really nasty Hawaiian marijuana. He must have been good at it though, since he never had to work, and at the end of 2 years he was able to travel to India, Pakistan, and Indonesia. What say you?

It wouldn't surprise me if it were true but it might also be a "cover story" to hide who's really behind this commie. People would believe that story and excuse it because "of his race"--we've all been pre-programmed to believe that he wouldn't be able to obtain a job because of his race, in other words, and so would excuse this in him when we would not excuse mere use for Dan Quayle or when this revelation was threatened against GW Bush by his so-called "spiritual advisor" at a time when he was pressing jewsreal hard for a resolution with Palestine. See how all that works? Are there any other sources for your story than His Satanic Majesty's own words? One would think there would be ancient potheads coming out of the woodwork to tell sordid tales of their rope-smoke besotted college years, courtesy of Candy Man Bro'bama. I've yet to see any or even hear of any threatened such independent sources. That tells me that if he's self-confessed (I admit I never read the book) then he's probably covering up funding from a source whose help would preclude his being successfully elected, even in this deluded nation.
