Indonesian people certainly cannot be separated from the name of rice to meet food intake for the body. Rice itself is a staple food that is eaten three times a day or even more.
3. Visit Without Make an Appointment
Visiting has also become a culture in Indonesia as a form of friendship with others or the closest people. In Indonesia, guests can visit anytime and come right away, but it is not for Australians who have to make an appointment in advance.
4. Seatbelts are Only Used for Front-Seating Passengers
Most Indonesians who use seat belts when riding in a car are those who sit in the seat, namely the driver and one passenger. While those sitting in the back do not wear them so they can do many things such as dancing, singing, and others.
5. Still Using Toilet Water Spray Hose
