I never thought I would write something like this. After many years of following the idol world, finally, something happened that made me smile and say to myself, “Is this real?” Yes, this time I want to talk about big news from AKB48 — something that I believe is a part of 48 Group history. For the first time ever, all overseas sister groups officially joined the AKB48 Senbatsu lineup. This is not just a performance together. This is not about global fan voting. This is the real thing — they are now in the official main lineup of AKB48. For me, this is more than just a change. This is a big step, maybe even a revolution. All Sister Groups Got a Place in Senbatsu For a long time, I have dreamed about the day when international sister groups would be given the same stage as AKB48. In the past, it always felt like they were “the loved little sisters,” but never invited into the main room of the house. Now, things have changed. Here are the members who joined the Senbatsu: Gracia (JKT...

In Indonesia, there is a unique kind of school called sekolah rakyat . In English, sekolah rakyat means “people’s school.” These schools are different from regular schools because they are usually created by communities or volunteers, not by the government. Their main goal is to give education to children who cannot go to formal schools because of money, location, or other problems. In this article, we will explain what sekolah rakyat is, why it exists, how it works, and why it is important. This article is written in simple English for readers from other countries who want to understand the idea of sekolah rakyat in Indonesia. What Is Sekolah Rakyat?

Rice is one of the most important foods in Indonesia. Almost every Indonesian eats rice every day. For breakfast, lunch, or dinner, rice is always there. Some people even say, “If I don’t eat rice, I don’t feel full.” But why do Indonesian people eat rice so much? Let’s explore the reasons. Photo by Suhairy Tri Yadhi 1. Cultural Tradition Rice is not just food in Indonesia. It is part of the culture. For hundreds of years, rice has been the main food in the country. People in villages grow rice in the fields. The process of growing, harvesting, and cooking rice has been passed down from generation to generation. In traditional ceremonies, rice is often used as an offering. In weddings or religious events, rice is always served. That shows how deep rice is connected with Indonesian life. 2. Easy to Find Indonesia is an agricultural country. The land is fertile and good for farming. Many farmers grow rice across the country. Because of this, rice is easy to find in the market. You can...

Okay, let’s talk about Jumbo —yes, that new Indonesian animated movie that everyone’s been talking about lately. If you haven’t watched it yet, trust me, you’re missing something special. I watched it last week, and... wow. I didn’t expect to cry over a cartoon. But here we are. What’s It About? The story follows Don , a 10-year-old kid who’s a bit bigger than most kids his age. That’s why people call him Jumbo . Not in a nice way, unfortunately. He’s an orphan, living with his grandma, and his favorite thing ever is this storybook from his parents. One day, something magical happens. He meets Meri , a tiny glowing fairy who suddenly appears in his life and needs help finding her parents. Together, they go on this wild adventure filled with magical creatures, bullies, lost things, memories, and a lot of heart. Oh, and his two loyal besties— Mae and Nurman —are the kind of friends we all wish we had growing up. The Animation? SO Pretty Let’s just say this: the visuals are chef’s kiss ....
