About Java
Java was the most important island of the Dutch East Indies, but anyone looking for it in an ordinary atlas, without paying attention to scale and proportion, will not be impressed by its size. Among the many islands of the Indonesian Archipelago to which it belongs, it is by no means the largest. Kalimantan, Sumatra, and Sulawesi are much bigger and yet Java is where the capital is located, Jakarta, the chaotic and charming city where you would put your first small step for a man and giant leap for your exciting adventure in the wonderland.
