Interesting observation. That may explain why they came back that fast. When I left Jakarta, Oct. 98, (after the chaos of May-June that year) I told my wife, perhaps I will never come here again -my daughter was born in Bandung, West Java- this place -I said- will deteriorate and we will see a turmoil that will last 20 years. 4 years later I was in S. E. Asia again. Thailand, Malaysia, and the rest came back with a vengeance. I was back in Jakarta early 2006: Indonesia is still retrograde and backward mostly because they chased away the Chinese that now produce in China what they used to produce in Indonesia before the 97/98 meltdown.
