Оглавление1. Greetings and Requests
Indonesians are very friendly and courteous. A handshake is the commonest form of greeting amongst both men and women, though occasionally some conservative women may avoid shaking hands with a man. A smile is a sign of goodwill, and calmness and good manners are greatly admired. Displays of aggression are frowned upon, and gestures such as standing with your hands on your hips or crossing your arms over your chest should be avoided.
The left hand is considered unclean so do not give or receive things with it. Only use your right hand. Pointing with the fingers or feet is considered rude. Use your thumb to point and don’t cross your legs when sitting with someone. It is also advisable not to touch anyone (including children) on the head as that is seen as sacred. If you visit an Indonesian home, a mosque or a temple, remove your shoes before entering.
Indonesians love small talk (obrolan), so expect to be asked all sorts of personal questions about your age, religion and marital status by virtual strangers. Dress, particularly for women, should always be modest. Above-the-knee shorts and revealing tops are inappropriate.
