First, Indonesian are impressible. Especially, when they look foreign people (Bule). High body and white skin can impress them. Moreover, many Indonesian peoples are interesting to marry Bule just for a better descent. Furthermore, Indonesian always believe that anything comes from overseas are better, like school, outfit, and food.
Third, Indonesian are easily provoked, especially with religious issues and nationalism. Next, they do not filter incoming information, whether it is news or broadcast messages. And for your Information, we believe in magic. We believe that someone can hurt by voodoo, and there are some people that can not be punctured.
Sixth, the work ethic of Indonesian peoples are low. So that is why the effort of government to improve the ability of local economy is very difficult. When your country have been tried to bring ashore people to another planet, we are still debating about whether women might astride on motorcycle.
Indonesian also underestimate their nation and they have low of confidence. Their interest in reading is low too. And unfortunately, they like something instant, just like instant education, instant career, instant money, and instant noodles.
Nevertheless, Indonesian are open to the new peoples, like foreign peoples. The key doesn't disturb Indonesian, so you will welcome.
For more information and to proof what I wrote above, you have to discuss with local communities when visiting Indonesia. And you might know that Indonesia consists of thousands of ethnic groups, So the characters can be different.
