US Pres. to visit Indonesia in November

US President GW Bush may visit Indonesia next month, according to the International Herald Tribune.

Indonesian President SBY is a friend of America and needs foreign investment. Bush is keen to court the friendship of the world’s largest Muslim country. I was here in 2003 when Bush last visited. He stayed at the Patra Jasa (now a different name) next to the airport for his 4 hour visit.

The next visit hasn’t been confirmed, but would make sense. Maybe this time GW could hang out for a while, take a surfing lesson, pick up a few Bintang t-shirts, and practice his bargaining skills on Poppies Lane II.
