Innocent and friendly Indonesian Those hotel employees that i met are friendly, helpful, no racial discrimination despite i'm ethnic chinese. They shake hand with us during farewell moment. One of the employee even invited me to visit Java Island with him. They are not terrosits and pirates as what we always think of. |
