Do you know...

There are 194 countries in the world today, unless if you don’t count Taiwan as an independent country from China. The newest country in the world is Montenegro, which gained its independence from Serbia in June 2006. Before Montenegro, the newest country was East Timor, which became independent from Indonesia in 2002.

Among the 194 countries in the world today, 192 countries are already members of United Nations. The exception were Taiwan and Vatican city. The newest members of United Nations were Montenegro (2006) and Swiss (2002).

Among the 194 countries in the world today, Indonesian citizens do have visa free-priviledge to 11 countries. They are Brunei, Malaysia, Phillipines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Hongkong, Macau, Chile, Marocco and Peru. The other 182 countries (Indonesia excluded) are visa required.

That’s just my humble thought as Indonesian citizen...

PS: And yes, I finally got my work permit from UK Govt!
