I've amended the post accordingly :) It would be good if you can have an English version of your blog. I noticed the photo in your header is that of Mt. Bromo. I'll also be posting something about Mt. Bromo soon. The trip was June 2007 but I never got around to editing it for my blog yet. Pak Arie,

Dear Mrs Mimi,
pls check again your information on Patung Selamat Datang, It should be “the 4th ASIAN games” because, ASEAN is the Association of South East Asian Nations and was formed on 8 August 1967, thus 5 year after the statue had been erected. so, the statue was build to welcome the participants of the 4th ASIAN games (the first international event in Indonesia after the independence) and the GANEFO, The Games of the New Emerging Forces (GANEFO) were games were set up by Indonesia (Soekarno) in late 1962 as a counter to the Olympic Games.

The IOC decreed that athletes attending GANEFO would be ineligible to participate in the Olympic Games.
