The uniqueness of Indonesia in the eyes of the world

The beauty of the geography, cultural diversity, as well as the nature of the friendly people ofIndonesia turns out to be a lot of steals the attention of foreign tourists who are scattered all over the world. Many of those who love the diverse cultures in Indonesia, even those bolddecided to settle in Indonesia.

There are 10 habits of the people of Indonesia in the eyes of the world, among others:

First, almost all people Indonesia is obsessed with his nose. Most of them assess, by havinga high nose would look charming. For this reason, many people who want to have childrenIndonesia fruit their marriages with Westerners.

Second, the Indonesia daily eating rice 2-3 times a day. While the rule of 40% carbohydratesis not suited for their body. Supposedly, they eat the rice not too often. That shocked him, when foreigners see the hard workers who consume rice beyond their estimates.

Third, people who have no confidence in Indonesia was considered Communists. This is because the Suharto regime propaganda that has never found the truth up to now.

Fourth, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish Indonesia some meaning of bribery andcharity. It explains why the index corruption in Indonesia is very high.

Fifth, most people often faced problems of Indonesia-related language. They seldom finish the sentence that they say. This is because, most of them think the opponents talk they understand what they are saying.

Sixth, most women Indonesia assumed if their husbands had to give everything, because that’s his job. Especially for women who are financially independent of.Seventh, a lot of people who do not eat without Indonesia chili ground beef (chili sauce) or hot pepper sauce
Eighth, the Indonesia most liked the idea to go to the beach and the Sun just because foreign tourists do. But after the Sun they are busy figuring out how to lighten their skin back

In addition, most of those who travel abroad are not afdol if it does not capture the precious moments like that. More uniquely, they want to ask other people that are not familiar to take pictures.
Lastly, mutual. Mutual cooperation is among the many people to achieve a common goal. This is already a mutual concept of absolute sosialitas to most of Indonesia. Often referred to as mutualisme which means mutual aid.

A unique custom made Indonesia

In everyday life, there are some habits we consider Indonesia as normal. Almost all the inhabitants of the archipelago do it, or just reasonable seenggaknya when people around them do so. But what about Yes if people abroad see our daily habits?

1. Eat raw chillies

Most of us people of Indonesia love eating cayenne pepper directly, especially when eatingfried foods again or again eating fried noodles. Chili abroad usually are always processed first before being eaten.

2. eat a disposable hand

From end to end Indonesia Islands, almost all of them were initially packed using bare hands.Yes, it’s a culture of eating using a spoon before applies here. Eating with your hands is indeed having an additional delicacy. This was considered odd by friends-friends are more likeus who usually often eat using knives, forks and spoons.

3. must eat ready-made sauce

Maybe not all of you, but the people of Indonesia indeed confess will find sambal or chillihassles every time you guys are eating together. The chili has a flavor that‘s so spicy so it was quite surprising to friends of non-Indonesia us when we want a chili with full of joy.

4. use the thumb Pointing if being polite

The habits we tend to often use a tit and air very much when we finished urinating on the toilet.

Unique culture that exists only in Indonesia

5 Unique Tradition in Indonesia Indonesia Country I is a country with multiple cultures, both in the social, cultural and religious. With diverse ethnic in Indonesia made many localtraditions vary, here are some unique traditions can we collect:

1. Fahombo

Also known as “Jump Rock”. This tradition comes from Nias Island, which lies to the West of Sumatra, in the village of Bawomataluo, in the top of the hill that is in FanayamaSubdistrict, South Nias Regency. The event was a cultural ritual as a symbol of maturity of youth in Nias. If a young man who is able to do the jump perfectly cooked and adulthoodhave been deemed physically. Therefore the social rights and responsibilities as adults can already run. For example, entering into marriage and the village to be a soldier if there is a war between villages or conflicts with other villagers. Because now there is no war, then skipstones only performed to welcome guests, and as tourism, the mainstay of Nias Island.

2. One Suro

The tradition of hereditary to some of the Java Community (people) and is associated with the mystical things and berfilosofis. One is the first day of the SurenoJavanese calendar in the month of Sura or Suro which coincides with 1 Muharram in theIslamic calendar. A tradition at night One Suro is, varies from each region to hold. Somerituals are performed at the event One Suro diatarannya, namely:

– The ritual Mubeng Beteng (marches that could crash the traffic around the Palace and theProtocol),

– Tapa mute, (i.e. no mouth lock removing the words during this ritual), the meaning of the philosophy of this ritual was for introspective, looking at themselves for what is employed for a full year, facing the new year in in the morning.

– Kungkum, soak in the large river, sendang or source of water for bathing, certain sesuci in the middle of the night. Intended to cleanse themselves of any errors made in the past year.

– Tirakatan night, not sleeping with tuguran (self contemplation while praying), usually doneinto the shower sesuci done.

and, the leather puppet show.

Some of the famous places doing this ritual is at the peak of Mount Lawu to Solo to the East,at Parangtritis Beach and Parangkusumo in Yogyakarta, and also Mount Dieng.

3. The long Ears of Dayak Tradition

Performed with the process of piercing the earlobe and wear one earring or earrings of silver since childhood, i.e. Since the age of one year. Then each year they add one fruit marks as they age. So we can figure out a person’s age by countingthe number of rings or earrings of such celebrations. Earrings or earrings of silver used wasdifferent, different styles of earrings shows differences in status, such as nobility has its ownstyle of earrings should not be worn by ordinary people. But over the course of time, this tradition has increasingly disappeared from the Dayak community, and currently only very few who still have the long ears and generally the older generation.

5. Cut a finger in Papua

Is a tradition carried out by family members who died. The tradition is an expression of grief shown someone who lost one member of their family. There are some sources that say the tradition of cut finger at this time was almost abandoned. Rarely the person doing it lately due to the influence of the religion that began to develop around the mountainous area of Central New Guinea. But we can still find many remains of old men andwomen with a finger that has been truncated due to this tradition.

So I wrote “5 Unique Tradition in Indonesia”, by not reducing my respect to friends that his name I wrote. There may be some that don’t fit in with friends, so let your friends add or criticize it in the comments field, so that we can discuss together.

Discovery Channel Singapore has already apologized for the negligence and statedclearly that the PENDET BELONGS to INDONESIA, DOES NOT BELONG to MALAYSIA.

DC Asia Inc. has already admitted that an error exists in the promotion of their staff.DC Asia Inc. also expressed apology for the error to the Indonesia Ministry of tourism.

Allegations of Malaysia has claimed the Balinese Pendet dance is not true. And DCstated that Malaysia‘s Pendet dance is also not true, the true Pendet was indeedbelongs to Indonesia and Bali.

Now udah bener who appeared and who is not. We don’t need to scorn make abunch. The important thing is how we can love and preserve our own culture so as not to be stolen by other countries.
