people
The Indonesian Constitution guaran-
tees freedom of religion. However,
the govetnment only recognizes six
official religions (Islam, Prostestanitism,
Catholicism, Hinduism, Bugghism and
Confucianism.
Foreiners are advised to respect the
major Indonesian religion, and rulers
especially the women, who are adviced to
cover their shoulders and knees.
People are really amazing. Even though
most ov them don’t speak English, but
they would try to help you in every way.
Indonesian language isn’t a difficult lan-
guage, so you can easily learn the basics.
As a foreiner, be prepared to be asked
for taking a photo with them, and being
welcomed everywhere with a big smile
