@monyet:
thanks monyet, reading posts of some Indonesian bloggers who write in English like you, bleu, and aroengbinang encouraged me to do the same.. haha..

Indeed nothing’s free in this world, I think we can find some bounses given by Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippine, and India, etc to Japan in return of ODA..

The thing is that Japan’s effots to support some countries, which are important for her, sometimes opposed by the West..

In G7 Summit meeting held in the beginning of 1990s, Japan proposed an idea to financially aid China, which is the key for stabilization in East Asia..

Unfortunately, Western countries, especially Germany and France, rejected Japan’s proposal and insisted Japan to financially support the USSR and East European countries because they worried that the failure of Perestroika and Glasnost in the USSR would have bad effects on German reunification and economy reformation in Eastern Europe..

dan ridiculously, Jepang cuma bisa ngikut aja kayak kerbau dicocok hidungnya, padahal isu ini berkaitan dengan national interests mereka..

@novee, putlie:
huhu, maap2.. ayo dibaca lagi postnya kalo udah dapet kamus..

@adite:

post ini sebtulnya secara implisit mau menyadarkan bahwa bukan yang membutuhkan aja yang butuh donator, donator juga butuh eksistensi dari kaum yang membutuhkan.. you got it?

@inda:
thanks kawan, emang ada ketertarikan khusus kok ama event2 di seluruh dunia.. haha.. anyway, boleh tau lagi soal 7 scientists, cukup menarik nampaknya..

we should obey the ‘dress code’, right?

hee hee …

no-no, i just remember my history books in my primary classes

you know, they call it ‘gerakan 3A’
(i wonder what origimal term is)

incidentally, you’re great in writing such thing like this. perhaps we could call u if we got any queries ’bout international events

uhm, … i’m translating a book of 7 scientist. it’s exciting to know their adventure in discovery, especially the part telling their conflict with the governmental foundation, you know … the keyword is: inconsistence

*nahan-senyum*

sorri kepencet.. publikasi (mo pratinjau) jadi saya apus komen sebelumnya

I think that’s probably the messed part of being a super power country, you have to deal with so many things going on in this world. Japan in this case does have political and economical interests in giving its aid to poor or developing countries like Pakistan and Indonesia. Of course nothing is free in this world, even when Japan initiates to gove some aid in Pakistan for example at the same time Japanese Government will require Pakistan to give them some economical or political “bonuses.”

Thanks for your support for my blog anyway. Thanks for the info on that blog competition, nice idea
