HERE ARE SOME TIPS TO MAKE YOUR CULTURE SHOCK SMOOTH.
UNDERSTAND AND ENJOY INDONESIA!
OPEN |
Start by leaving attitude at home, bring will to open your closed westerner eyes! |
HUMBLE |
Come humble! there's so much you haven't learn yet! don't think your way or approach is the best one! try to learn instead of teaching! |
NO STRESS |
Balinese and indonesians like to have a peaceful natural rhythm, don't push 'em! leave your stress at home, or consume it in the ocean! and if you still have too much energy, use it to pull up your antennas to better understand the surroundings! |
ASK |
If you don't know, don't suppose, ask! people here will like to share what they know, and they will try hard to explain it to you! |
RESPECT |
Respect other riders, don't drop in, don't vibe, don't cover the natural sounds with loud blablah! if you get dropped in by a local don't cal him off or vibe him... just smile and remember this is their home, not yours!! if you accidentally drop in on a local and they tell you leave the water do it! do not try to explain or apologize your way out of it, it won't work, they'll kick your lilly white ass! |
SAFE |
Drive carefully! traffic is chaotic but not too fast, slow down and you'll be safe. mind for other drivers, even if they take few precautions. remember that hospital medical assistance is not free and many people can't afford it. if you hit someone you'll be in instant trouble! |
