 My essay assignment using these tools of Microsoft Word

Indonesian Character and Personality

Indonesia is home to hundreds of different localities and ethnicities, and Indonesians are used to hanging out and making friends with people of different religions, views and that includes foreign tourists. The best things that make foreign tourists fall in love with Indonesians is their characteristic and personality. Their main characteristics include friendly, polite, and proud of traditional heritage.

Firstly, Indonesian people are generally friendly. If you’re lost or trying to find a specific address, you will easily find someone in the street that is willing to help you especially if you are a foreigner, Indonesian people will always try to help you even with their limited vocabulary. Indonesian people also tend to always smile to anyone even though they might didn’t know each other, simply to be polite.

Secondly, Indonesians are very polite. Indonesians rarely meet other people without a friendly but polite handshake, even when they already know each other. They refer to other people with titles like ‘Mister’ and ‘Miss’ all the time. And it’s not mere lip service; Indonesian people show politeness and respect towards other people they encounter.

Finally, Indonesian people are proud of their traditional heritage. Many Indonesians, even those who now live in urban areas, still identify themselves by tribes and hometowns. They have this interesting balance of being both modern and traditional, upholding tradition and local wisdom whenever appropriate. Those who live in villages are certainly more in touch with their own traditional heritage, and they would be happy to show tourists around and tell stories about their culture.
