However, this facts speak about Indonesian people in general, which means common Indonesian. Thus, there are small portion of Indonesians who don't fit to this context.

1. Indonesians are obsessed with NOSE. The straighter the better! That's why some people favored western people to have babies with.

2. Indonesians eat RICE two to three times a day. The rule of 40% carbs doesn't fit them. The rice should be like 60%. It's getting worse when it comes to Men, in particular those who has a job with physical  exercise 

3. Indonesians think atheist is communist. It is because of Soeharto's regime propaganda which has never been properly encountered up to the present moment.

4. Sometimes some Indonesians are confusing bribery and charity, that explains why Indonesian corruption index are horribly high. 

5. Most Indonesians have issues with linguistic, they rarely finish their sentences and simply think their counterparts understand what they are about to say even though they don't say it.

9. Indonesians think traveling overseas is cool, overseas duty trip is kinda rewards. The upper middle class go to Sin or HK to go shopping, buying stuffs that are available in any stores in Indonesia. One more thing, Indonesians think what is the point of traveling overseas if you don't have picture of you in front of every landmark in the destinations. Even worse, they bring DSLR ask others to take pictures of them, instead of to take pictures. Why don't they bring pocket? because the bigger camera makes them look more professional.

  1. Hi,

    I read your comment on my blog but then I guess you took it off. Ah well.

    As to point 9 in your post. Indonesians also travel together and rarely alone. Tour groups seems to be the only Indonesians travel. Mind that is just my observation.
