My Current Music Feel.

1. Twenty One Pilots, this duo is honestly my favorite band of all time. Their albums, Blurryface and Vessel is also both really awesome, if you like hip hop then these guys are worth checking out.
2. I still like rap, so Eminem is still one of my favorite solo artists,
3. Suicide Squad: The Album, it has Eminem and Twenty One Pilots, what can I say? I'm a sucker for these kinds of music.
That's it, if anyone has recommendations for these kinds of music style don't be hesitant to tell me.

Indonesia Raids Google Offices

Hey, it's me back again with another task at hand, so this time I'll be writing about an article I read over at www.thejakartapost.com. The original article is linked up top as the heading and this will only be my thoughts and a short summary of it.
So, this article is about how the Google office in Jakarta is refusing a tax audit. The article says that Google itself has refused the tax audit, but has paid all applicable tax in Indonesia. There it also says that Indonesia's president is trying to make Internet companies pay more taxes in order to cover some loss.
From me, I suppose I can't really add any more to this, because I'm not really that knowledgeable in laws concerning taxes. But I do have to agree with the article of the fact that internet companies need to pay more tax, because their revenue is already so much, from ads. But, the ads do mostly advertise in-country companies such as Lazada, Tokopedia or other internet companies from Indonesia. This doesn't affect much of my opinion to Indonesia, it doesn't make me feel more akin towards it, or against it. But, it seems to show that the government might not be as friendly to outside internet companies than to other in-house companies. As far as I have looked around, the government also, don't seem to have any particularly specific laws for internet companies (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)
But this, might show that Indonesia's companies will be more digital in the future since it seems like it's the way to go. This will also push Indonesia to a more digital era, and hopefully better help the people to be more modern. I, as a student, don't really know what to do, I the only thing I can do is to support local internet business in the hopes that in the future, we can be a more modern society.

Indonesia in 30 Years.

When I was a kid I used to think that in the future Indonesia will have flying cars, everyone will have super computers and the like, and now, my English teacher has given my class the assignment to make a blogpost on how you think Indonesia will be in 30 years.
Well, I don't think that there'll be any flying cars in the next thirty years, but I really do hope that by then we could have less traffic on the streets, because really, one hour to school to school is quite bothersome. Based on how Indonesia has been progressing, which isn't marvelous, but good enough, I would guess we would be on par at the very least with our brethren out in the good ol' Murica. Though, the logic would dictate that by then other countries would have already further develop so, it might be kind of the same otherwise.
I could see a bright future for Indonesia, where people can get the education necessary, where the government isn't a corrupt slave to money, or where the people isn't left on the streets, homeless and shelter-less.
Amin, and see ya soon folks
