Local Man Realises He Knows Basically Nothing About 4th Most Populous Country And Nearest Neighbour

MONTY BENFICA

Local man and self described wikipedia addict has just realised he knows pretty much nothing about his countries closest neighbour and the 4th most populated country on earth, Indonesia.

“Apart from Bali and Mi Goreng, I actually know nothing about that place, explained Nathan Heartwright (25).

“I don’t know one famous person from there, anything about their cuisine, honestly, I’ve hardly even met many” he added while rechecking his google search of Indonesians crazy population and proximity to Australia’s northern shores.

Friends say the epiphany struck during a trivia night when a simple question about Indonesia’s national sport left Nathan staring blankly into space, vaguely mumbling “surely it’s soccer, it’s got to be soccer right?” before immediately regretting the guess.

“Badminton? really?”

The moment has reportedly shaken Nathan’s long held belief that he is a worldly man that grew up in an “SBS household”, prompting him to reconsider everything about his identity.

“I genuinely know more about Finland than our most important neighbour in the region”

Nathan has since vowed to expand his knowledge of the region, starting with watching a documentary of Indonesia’s communist purges during the 1960s.

“That’s got to be one of the darkest things I’ve ever watched” Nathan admitted.

Nathan now hopes that knowing at least three facts about Indonesia will be enough to comfortably mention the country in conversation without immediately exposing himself again.
