Indonesia is in premier position!
From http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4325619.stm
Larks and midnight oil for Asians
More people go to bed later and wake up earlier in Asia than in any other region, a sleep study has found.
The poll of 14,100 people in 28 countries and regions found 40% of people in Asia go to sleep after midnight.
Half of the 10 places with the most early-risers were also in Asia, with Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation, in premier position.
But Australians sleep the longest - 31% average more than nine hours a night.
Taiwan is Asia's most nocturnal country, according to the poll conducted by AC Nielsen, where 69% of people said they go to sleep after midnight.
In Indonesia, on the other hand, 91% of people said they got out of bed by 0700.
In Japan, a nation famed for its long working hours, people appeared to get the least sleep - 41% saying they got six hours or less a night.

Rutinitas
Dulu pas baca bukunya Laura Ingalls yg blg di seluruh negara hari Senin mencuci, Selasa setrika, etc aku pikir: strange, masa iya seluruh negara follow the same schedule.
But wait a minute, here I am in NL, 21st century, yet similar things happen. Today, like any other first Monday of the month, at noon, alarm kebakaran bunyi. Nggak di Enschede, nggak di Amsterdam, first Monday of the month at noon itu waktunya untuk ngetest apakah alarm
kebakaran msh berfungsi dg baik.
Blm lg fakta bhw Sabtu itu harinya semua org belanja, Minggu itu hari libur, kecuali koopzondag -- normally first Sunday of the month (and it only starts at 12.00). Trus hari Senin pagi itu semua toko tutup -- waktu untuk inventory checking. Semua org kerja di waktu yg sama --
imagine how can you go to the bank if banks only open during your time at work!
Blm lg ada yg bilang bhw Wednesday is gehakt dag -- almost everyone in the whole country eat gehakt (daging cincang) -- krn all butchers sell gehakt for cheap on Wednesdays (unfortunately I don't buy my meat at butchers, and supermarkets don't follow this rule).
Trus ada lg hari apa gitu yg jgn makan ikan -- hari Senin kalau gak salah, soalnya stock ikan datangnya tiap Selasa -- yg beli ikan hari itu can only be tourist (who obviously don't know the rule).

Love
What does the Bible say about love?
1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (NIV)
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
