Revisiting this 11 years later...

It was funny how they perceived Sumatra as a country rather than an island.

for Indonesians only.

Actually i’m an Indonesian, who lives in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia.

I can speak English, Japanese, and absolutely Indonesian. So if anyone here can communicate with Indonesian languange, you can comment/ask with Indonesian language.

English is still welcome too ;)

Thanks.

“Indonesia” was once spoken in SeraMyu (Sailor Moon musicals) 2004 - Kaguya Shima Densetsu, when Mamoru talked to other senshi that some of his friends from his University were coming from Sumatra, Indonesia. Then Ami Mizuno (who played by Wakayama Manami) explained that Sumatra is the second island in Indonesia (the first was Java), larger than Japan.
