Sekilas Tentang Budaya Australian
Introduction
The below materials are quoted from my new friend's site, Gerome. He has ever been to Indonesia for 2 1/2 years. He has been writen a little bit about Indonesia's culture. It must be good to be read. Here it is........!
Flirting is communication. Flirting is looks, body-language, presents and most of all words. The more you are limited in your language, the more you are limited in your flirting. Most Indonesians speak little or no English. So chances are that the cute girl or gorgeous guy smiling at you from the other table (and this is not only hypothetical, in Indonesia you will be smiled at) won't understand you unless you speak some Indonesian.
Of course you could try to blunder yourself through in English using hands and feet. But imagine yourself smiling back and talking in Indonesian. It will all be different.
Since language is so important, this site will not only teach you les affairs de coeur but also some basic Indonesian.
