  1. I was just thinking,that since the Olympics are going on, how popular are the Olympics in Indonesia? I saw they only have 22 athletes competing, but is there a big hype over them, and the Olympics itself?

  2. Alex, that's a great question!!

    I did try to bring up the subject of the Olympics with a few people, including the students at Krida. There seemed to be very little interest in them. I did learn that four years ago, there weren't enough advertisers willing to purchase commercial time for Indonesian television stations during Olympic broadcasts so they didn't even show the events on TV in Indo for the 2008 games. I'm not sure if they are showing this year as I haven't been around a television long enough to even attempt to see.
