Hi all,
Indosyncrasies is a term I coined for idiosyncrasies that exist here in Indonesian, those we found funny, odd or even downright bizzare.
Please list those that you yourself have found here.
I started with one:
1. When the driver in the car that is about to cut into your driving path on the road flashes his/her headlight, it means "get out of the way, I have the right of way". In Australia, it means the opposite - as a courtesy for you to go first "please you go ahead first". This could be dangerous to those us expats who misinterpret the meaning.
