Etiquette in Indonesia - what is customary?

Posted in Indonesia forum

Hi all,

I am invited by a friend whom I met during my exchange year abroad to his home in Indonesia. I am really looking forward to going, but before, I need to prepare myself for the journey :-) Could you give me some tips of do's and don't while dealing with Indonesians? I already heard it is polite to take your shoes off when you enter a hosts home, I shouldn't stand or sit with my arms crossed. or that it is not polite to finish any drink all the way to the bottom of the glass :-) Any more advices?

Thanks a lot!

    If you need some guide, you contact me. My name Teuku at email : [...]
