about the culture, the people, the woderful people that laugh all day long even if they haven't eaten...you see if they don't earn any money they don't eat as there is no Government welfare in Indonesia.
It isn't that they just want your money it's that they need it for survival. If you had have taken time out to see past the first impressions you would have seen beautiful, genuine people who generally will go out of their way to be friendly which sounds like more than you would do.
