I agree, I have been working in Indonesia for the past year. Along with learning the language, culture and meeting new people and basically feeling like everyday is an adventure, I get all those same questions when I visit home. "Aren't there like earthquakes and volcanoes everyday?" "What about all the terrorists?" "Where is Indonesia? Is it part of South America?"
In all seriousness, you can't top an exotic/dangerous assignment as far as an attention grabber on a resume goes. And, once you have applied for a permanant Indonesian work visa and registered with the Imigrasi and Polisi, well then you are ready for anything.
