Indonesia / Travel Information / Common Courtesies
A warm, generous
people, Indonesians are always prepared to extend a warm welcome.
Handshaking
is a customary greeting in Indonesia but avoid using your left
hand. Also avoid using your left hand when giving or receiving
anything, whenever possible. Using your index finger to summon
a person is impolite.
Scanty clothing
is not advisable in public places in deference to local customs.
Shorts are not allowed in mosques and women should have their
arms and head covered. Climbing over monuments or places of worship
is considered highly disrespectful. In Bali, waist sashes should
be worn when visiting temples.
