Preparation

What to Pack, What to Wear?
Comfortable and lightweight clothing is preferable in Indonesia. For temples, long pants/skirts are required for women and shirts that cover at least the shoulders. Long pants for men.
Footwear for days out should be comfortable runners, or sport sandals (Sandal must have a strap around the heel if entering royal venues). It is also recommended to bring a casual evening outfit and comfortable shoes that you could wheat to a chic cocktail lounge, but also walk a few blocks in as well. Things like hats and sunglasses are helpful on the sunny days.

Photography
Bring plenty of memory for your camera. Most photo shop scan print digital photos and burn CDs. When Photographing locals, always ask permission first.

Electricity
Local sockets are 230V. Most electronic devices like camera, phones, etc. have dual power capabilities, but check first! Otherwise, adaptors are fairly easy to find.

Luggage Restrictions on Airlines
Most regional carriers in Indonesia, such as Indonesia airways have standard luggage limitations of 20kg per person. Excess weight can be paid at check-in.

Cultural Tips
Indonesian are very easy going and would rarely tell you if you are doing something that offends them. However, here are a few things to think about while you are in Indonesia:
• Do not give or take anything with your left hand, as it is considered impure.
• Do not touch children’s heads, as this part of the body is considered to be the home of the human soul.
• Do not blow your nose while eating. It is best to get up and step away from the table.
• In busy center, keep your shirt on (unless on the beach of course)
• Hands on hips are a sign of defiance, especially when talking to someone
• Ask questions. When visiting a religious site, taking part in a religious practice, or simply touring a town, ask lots of questions to your Indonesian guides and friends. Indonesians are incredibly proud of their culture and are happy to share. This is also true if you are not sure how to act or feel uncomfortable in a situation – ask questions to make sure you are following proper Indonesian etiquette.
