Culture Shock when you come to Indonesia (part 2)

Hello there..welcome to my blog


Do you know what will cause foreign tourists who come to Indonesia to experience culture shock?

There are several unique facts that will make foreign tourists come to Indonesia , maybe you don't know about this yet...
and experiencing culture shock..and this is one of them..


1.The bathtub in Indonesia is not the same as the bathtub in your place.Don't be mistaken okay..This bathtub is not for soaking..Indonesian people will fill this tub with water until it is full..then they use the water for bathing by taking it with a ladle and then pouring it into their body.

2. The toilet used is a squat toilet.Have you ever tried...? If you've never tried it...I dare you 😀😜

3.There are no number 13 in elevators and in hotel rooms in Indonesia
Most Indonesians still believe the number 13 is an unlucky number.

4.when you feel unwell or start to feel cold, fever..first aid is "kerokan"
namely by scratching coins on your back while smearing it with rubbing oil...until the skin is blackish red...and if it is this color...they will say that you "Masuk Angin"
which means there is wind entering our body.. so this is the most effective way to get rid of the wind.. believe it or not but your body will feel better..Do you want to try this one too? 😀😁

5. When there is a big event that has to be held in an out door.. like a birthday party, weddings, even big events such as music concerts, MotoGP Indonesians still believe in using the services of rain charmers
Or someone who can control the fall of rain.
Maybe some of you have seen the rain charmer in action during an event Moto GP at the Mandalika circuit in Indonesia some time ago...

Those are some things about culture shock that you might encounter when visiting Indonesia..actually there are many more, I will discuss them again another time..

Okay guys..have a wonderful day ..Continue to support this blog ..You can also comment below..so that we can be even more enthusiastic In sharing interesting facts about culture, lifestyle and hobby...and many more..thank you  so much 😊🙏
