I'm going to Indonesia on business soon. What is the weather like now? What clothes should I bring? Is there anything else to pay attention to?

Indonesia is located in southeast Asia, across the equator, between north latitude 10 and south latitude 10. More than 70% of its territory is located in the southern hemisphere, so it is the only southern hemisphere country in Asia. It is more than 5,500 kilometers long from east to west, and it is the most vast country except China. Typical tropical rainforest climate, the annual average temperature is 25-27℃, regardless of the four seasons. The northern part is affected by the northern hemisphere monsoon, with abundant precipitation in July, August and September, and the southern part is affected by the southern hemisphere monsoon, with abundant precipitation in 12, 1 and February.

In Indonesia, it should be noted that:

Indonesia is known as the "country of a thousand islands", with 89% of its residents believing in Islam and the rest believing in Christianity, Catholicism, Hinduism and Buddhism.

Indonesians always exchange business cards when they first meet. Most Indonesians believe in Islam, so you can't give them anything with your left hand. Don't eat pork food, don't drink strong liquor, don't like sea cucumber, don't eat vegetables with bones and juice and fish belly.

When visiting a temple or mosque, you should not wear shorts, sleeveless clothes, vests or bare clothes. You must take off your shoes when you enter any sacred place. In Bali, you have to wear a belt to enter the temple.

There is a habit of chewing old leaves and betel nuts in rural areas. If the host hands over a plate of betel nut, the guest had better try it to thank the host for his hospitality. Indonesians don't like arrogant people. It is considered impolite to speak loudly, tell others what to do and cross your legs. When Indonesians offer cigarettes, they always knock on the cigarette case first, so that a few cigarettes can be exposed from the cigarette case and then handed to the guests. When a guest takes a cigarette, he usually puts the cigarette with the longest cigarette case exposed into the cigarette case first, and then takes the cigarette with the shortest cigarette case exposed to show his modesty. It is considered disrespectful to take one from a cigarette case and hand it to a guest, or to throw it at a distance.

Indonesians pay attention to etiquette and always say hello when they meet. Muslims generally greet each other in Arabic and put their hands together on their foreheads to express their sincere and heartfelt wishes. If foreigners greet Indonesians in Indonesian, they will feel particularly cordial. Men should not reach out to female Muslims (usually people wearing veils). When visiting an Indonesian home, don't sit down before the host asks you to sit down. After taking a seat, guests should sit in the seat designated by the host. When you leave, you must say "thank you" and "thank you" to your host. Indonesians have a strong sense of hierarchy, on seniority and seniority. Generally adult men should use "park" (meaning "old man", "you" and "sir"). Even if the superior is young, the subordinate should call him "park x x x", otherwise it will be considered as disrespect for him. When you pass by the seats of elders, superiors and guests, you usually bend down and extend your right hand to your right knee to show your respect for them.

Indonesians have some special habits that should be respected by foreign guests. They like to walk barefoot (especially in rural areas), sit on the floor (men sit cross-legged, women kneel) and grab food with their right hand (informal occasions). Muslims generally don't drink. Never propose a toast to people you don't know well, and don't persuade them to drink. Only when they are sure that they are not Muslims can they propose a toast. Many Indonesians are humorous and like to joke. If it's not out of malice, even if the joke goes too far, there's no need to get angry. Indonesians, like other eastern peoples, don't particularly mind asking age, but it's best not to ask people with western education or status.

Indonesians don't like people touching his head (unless his family treats his children). They think that the head is a sacred part and represents a person's dignity. Indonesians are afraid of being handed things with their left hand. This is because Indonesians are used to washing their hands with their left hand after defecation, which is considered unclean. If they pass things with their left hand, the other party will feel disrespectful. If you really can't open your right hand and have to pass it with your left hand, you must say "I'm sorry" to show your modesty. Indonesians are forbidden to use their hands casually, especially their index fingers, when making phone calls and greeting people, which is considered as disrespect to people.

Good luck and hope to adopt it!
