I'm delighted to introduce #ExperienceIndonesia, a series of FREE festivities taking place in London in November, where individuals can immerse themselves in Indonesian culture, food and fashion. Made up of more than 17,500 islands, from beautiful Bali to awe-inspiring Kalimantan, Indonesia is known for its breath-taking landscape, delicious cuisine, historic temples, and warm, welcoming culture. Discover what makes Indonesia so special at one of four exciting events:
