it really depends. I think India and Indonesia are both very similar in that the distribution of wealth is truly a chasm. For instance, in the last photo pretty much right across the street are insanely nice and expensive malls. So it is something to experience. But, everywhere I have been in SE Asia the people are very friendly! Personally I would rather go to either Malaysia or Thailand (thailand is my favorite so far) over Indonesia. But they all have their upsides!

I assume you're in the US, correct?
