Comment by Hirak Kumar on March 20, 2013 at 6:40: Hi

Myself Hirak, from India. India is a country of more than a billion people. India is a land of Diversity in Culture & Religion. It makes India different other countries. Mostly people are Hindu, followed by Muslim, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist etc. If start talking about Indian culture, my life span may become come to an end, but the discussion will not. Frankly speaking, I'm not so concern about culture & religion, keep thinking in this regard. But I do respect all? What role our culture play in our lives?

Indonesia is a country in South East Asia, a tropical country that only has 2 seasons (dry and wet seasons). You might have heard about Bali Island. It is the famous island in Indonesia. There are more than 17000 islands in Indonesia. Each island has each culture. So, Indonesia is home of various culture. Thanks.

Comment by Amber Tang on August 4, 2011 at 7:02: I am from China, a country situated in eastern Asia on the western shore of the Pacific Ocean with over 1.3billion people and famous natural and cultrual sites. You might have heard of or even been to the Great Wall, the Summer Palace, the Forbidden City, the Potala Palace, terracotta Warriors, Li River in Guilin, Lingering Garden in Suzhou, etc.etc. too many to list out here. With 5000 years of recorded history, China is one of the world earlist civilization. Apart from Han people, the main nationality, there are other 55 such as tibetan, Miao, Dai, etc. China is also famous for Chinese Kongfu. Like in the famouse Catoon Movie 'Kongfu Panda', tiger, crane, snake, mantis and monkey symbolize 5 famouse Kongfu factions.
