4.0 out of 5 stars
Easy-to-read guide for traveler or expat,
By Renee Thorpe (Karangasem, Bali) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Indonesia (Culture Shock! A Survival Guide to Customs & Etiquette) (Paperback)
Indonesian culture? A bit like saying Western culture... a rather broad term. But this book acknowledges that right away and does an admirable job of isolating the most important manners for visitors to know and use.The book's practical tips are especially useful, and these are organized with finger-tip simplicity (Do's and Don't's appendix is great), making this book easy to consult at a moment's notice. Business section and home help section ("Translating Needs into Action") are especially helpful. There are also meaty and interesting sections about Indonesian values, social structure, and food. It's a good read, will serve well the traveler or expat. Cultural quiz at the end, a test so silly no one could fail it, is the only negative to this guide.

Great book for expatriates,
By A Customer
This review is from: Indonesia (Culture Shock! A Survival Guide to Customs & Etiquette) (Paperback)
This was one of the first books I purchased when I discovered we were going to be posted to Jakarta, Indonesia. Now almost 3 years later, I find that I still enjoy reading this book and have found its examples of every day life to be accurate. The book is very informative and many of its stories are humerous which enables an easy read. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is planning a move to Indonesia and even to those who are just planning a trip.

Great culture book,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Culture Shock (Paperback)
If your interest in Indonesia and its culture goes beyond what can be read in the tourist brochures, then this book is definitely for you. In a very entertaining way, it explains about the culture, habits and beliefs of the Indonesian people, and it includes a funny Cultural Quiz at the end. Highly recommended.
