Communication skills:

The exchange rate of 1. Indonesian rupiah fluctuates greatly. After arriving at the airport, look at the exchange rate of the day. If it is a high level, you might as well change it a little more.

6. It is best not to bring $ 100 banknotes issued by 1996, which may be rejected.

Habits and taboos

1, when walking, pay attention to the sacrificial articles on the road, and never step on them. Local people often put sacrifices at the door, and some things we think are common in the street, such as trees, are also regarded as gods, so sacrificial supplies are often placed in the street.

Don't touch other people's heads, even children. This will cause resentment among Hindus.

Don't wear shorts and skirts into the temple. There are salons and belts at the entrance of the temple for free, but they should be given appropriately.

4. Don't enter the Hindu temple. Non-Hindus are not allowed in. Don't be driven by curiosity, even if someone encourages you, refuse.

Don't stand in front of local people when they bow down and pray. No matter where you are, at least it's impolite.

6. When visiting a local family, take off your shoes before entering the room.
