if a muslim woman ask you to change your religion to marry her, then that is not love...it is pure religious chrisrian hatred. The muslim family can not tolerate the christian infidel. The shame of it is they dont even know that much of the koran is taken from the old jewish scrolls. funny is it not that they hate the jews so much.

i agree that many indonesian woman who married western guy are ugly that because the beuatiful one either taken or not as desperate as the ugly ones. all south asian lady have the same type of face...anyway, because Indonesia is predominatly muslim and muslim parents can't tolerate having an infidel son in law so,,having 'bule' partner is not so popular in Indonesia except maybe in few big cities like jakarta, surabaya, bandung, medan and manado. and this situation is bit different in other SEA acountries like vietnam, philiphine, thailand where the beuatiful teens are eager to marry a western man to immigrate and to improve their life..marrying a white man is like a life objective from them since teen...

I thing the Fuji x-e1 has poor image quality. No sharp, no details in pictures. That is pity.

I don't see the quality of the x-e1 image. Frankly, I just got an rx100 and it has a much sharper and detailed output. Don't know what I am missing in the viewing process.

I think what he meant was, be careful of bringing your expensive gadgets especially your digital SLR. Because you might be a target for thieves. I am a local and yes, I couldn't go stroll and take photographs of my city because of thieves.

Actually I like Indonesia, nice tropical country with great resources, but this is very much disgracing why politicians are so cruel, why don't they take benefit from these resources and could develop the life standard of their masses, one thing more parents should give good moral teaching to their offsprings specially to their daughters. Government should provide them a good salary job, I am sure Indonesia has that capability. These domestic helper had dropped all degrees if attitude. Sex , disgracing the norms and culture of country.

Indonesian women has bad record in Hong Kong. Being a Muslim they are not allowed to do sex but they have four or five boy friends . Are all Indonesians are like them. Mover they blame their parents and husband who sent them for a domestic helper jobs. I just want to know whether these women represent the entire culture of sweet Indonesia ?

My X-E1 is arriving today.

I also reviewed the dpreview comparisons, and I could not believe my aging eyes. It appeared that the X-E1 has better image quality than the d600, and simply blew away the other mirrorless cameras. I really want a camera that is not bulky like my Nikon. The X-E1 looks like I will get my wish for a light camera with uncompromised image quality and reasonable RAW files sizes.

Thank you for your review!

Finally someone has stepped forward and made the truth known. How little Muslims understand the history of their own religion and its teachings. When I was married to a Muslim I never converted and happy that I did not. Much of the Koran is based on the old Jewish scrolls which serve as the basis of the early Christian religion. Copying another religions sacred teachings is not inspired revelation from god to man. In the modern sense it is pure plagiarism.

Lunna, as an expat that worked long term for your government, and also married into a Muslim family, I just have to shed a little light into some of your misconceptions about marriage and religion. Please note, it is legal for a Christian, or any person to marry into a Muslim family without converting. Please note I said legal but not frequently practiced. Meaning, Indonesia, as of this writing, still doesn’t require practicing Muslims to follow Sharia Law. In fact, Sharia Law
didn’t even come into existence until the 18th century. While Sharia is the Islamic law that is based on the knowledge of the Koran and the traditions of the prophet (Hadith and Sunna), it was the Wahabi’s originally based out of the Arabian Peninsula that created the draconian form many Muslim practice now that stipulates men and women can’t marry out of their faith or face punishment as
harsh as stoning and decapitation still practiced in many Muslim
countries. Hence, a Indonesian women can legally marry into a Hindu family or a Christian Church without facing any
legal repercussions from your legal system. That being said, she will surely be shunned by her family and the local
Imam in charge. I should note with full disclosure that I also ‘legally’ converted to Islam to appease my ex-wife’s family but like just about all male men that fall in love with Indonesia women, we convert in name only but never actually practice the religion for numerous reasons. Please also note that the Quran has many interpretations
on the creation, Jesus, and numerous other prophets. You have to remember, Mohammad was illiterate and by some theories, he had as many as 11 scribes copying down the torah scrolls located in medina before the local Jewish priests forbid him from copying down their text anymore. Meaning, this is where much of the Quran’s text/theoriescome from. Like you said Lunna, much of it is based upon faith and of course how you were brought up by your parents, and most importantly, the culture you were raised in that dictates your beliefs, Religion, and value system.

Hello Brandon, I am Indonesian woman married to an American... Until today I do hear about that conversation, but I keep it cool... My life and my husband is not on their hands, those who said that to the mix couples are those who let themselves being drowned by their own narrow minded thoughts... We respect people because of their personalities and the most, how they threat other people with respect sincerely... I am sure, in the world like this, we must listen more to they who love us unconditionally...

Hey! So, I just got Google Earth (I know, I've been living under a rock). And when I click the ruler tool, the Earth doesn't "spin." I can still kinda guesstimate, but if anybody has advice on how to work the ruler and rotate the earth at the same time, that would be great!

Thanks in advance.

Oh lunna, lunna, lunna
In response to the peace of your islam comment....
Yes we christians in the west see the peace of islam in the middle east and your country of Indonesia...Hmm funny how u live, a muslim, in the USA and enjoy the peace of christianity.. There is no physcial threats against you or violence...Oh yes some unkind comments in the media.....You wont see christians when islam attacks and kills westerners and christians, as they have recently...73 christians in Egypt, 4 christians(USA citizens) in Libya) killing muslims. or attaching their embasy.. U see in the USA we have free speech..the right of free speech allows anyone to say anything without reprisal. Islam does not like that..Your own country does not tolerate that.. .Better u be christian to experience real peace...

Well thank you luna for your comment. I saw enough of the Muslim in two tours in Iraq and in Afganistan and then the women in Indonesia. That is enough for me. They befriend you then turn against. Yes that is the American soldier experience. Well same thing in Indonesia. You love them and they then they turn against you. Does not matter how good you were to them. Even the family after she lefT for another. Funny, for five years totally supported her, loved our son as the dearest thing in the world. Supported her two brothers and their families coz they could not find work. Even her mom was taken care of. Now I don't even know where the son is so can't see him. Grumpy. Well maybe yes. But u have not experienced what I did. Make the walk then I will maybe accept your talk. Oh yes I have read both the Koran and the Christian bible. So don't accuse me or tell me which religion is more peace. To each their own. Good luck in ur marriage
