On your third day in Indonesia, you will get used to the new time-zones, the food and the surroundings. Indonesians like to help other people, moreover to strangers (or they are usually called "orang bule"). Indonesians like to chat, ask something about people they meet on the street, ask your age, name or even address. The most common polite question when you run into an Indonesian is "Where are you going?" or "Mau ke mana?" simply to ask that they care one another.
