Just this morning, i got to know that if we are stopping by an Indonesian House, we must at least go down from vehicle. Otherwise, one will be labeled as "Nggak Hormat Kepada Tuan Punya Rumah" Meaning, one does not respect the owner of the house if we do not get down from the vehicle.
Then, another person that i was travelling with got an SMS from this owner of the house, asking him to tell/inform me that next time if i got to an Indonesian House, please respect the owner, at least get out from the car and say something.
Ok, so, i asked some of my Indonesian friend, they said it is a common courtesy to get down from the vehicle when we reached any of these Indonesian House to show respect. Finally, i believed that i have made a mistake.
But, hey, i was pissed off. If one is so respectable, tell it to my face. I apologise right there and then. And if one is so respectable, please respect others and your ownself.
