Transformation of Indonesian Artists' Lives in Canada, From the Entertainment World to Unexpected Careers

Kapanlagi.com - Moving to a foreign country is not an easy decision, especially for those who have already made a name for themselves in Indonesia. However, some artists from the homeland have chosen to leave the glittering entertainment world to start a new life in Canada. Their reasons vary, ranging from education to better career opportunities.

Some of them have even settled for years and adapted to life in a foreign land. Although initially known as stars in Indonesia, they are now pursuing professions that are far removed from their heyday.
