    As soon as we began working full-time we were expected to contribute to the family expenses. It was nowhere near the cost of rent and expenses if we were to move out, but it was enough to teach us we need to budget and understand the costs associated with being an adult. I took pride in being able to contribute and it also gave me a voice in house decisions. As an adult I think it's weird when I hear someone still let's their parents pick up their expenses... stand on your own feet, you're not a baby anymore.

    Very good observations. I remember on of my university lecturers in Singapore (I'm an Aussie) telling me a humorous story about one of his Indonesian students. She was complaining about how hard it was to get a license there. "Here, it's soo hard. At home we go to da police station, pay money, and dats it".

    Rent or board will depend on many things, the age of the kid, if they're still at school, if they have a job or if the parents are wealthy. The rates still need to be paid even if the home is owed outright. (No mortgage) it all depends.

      This kind of attitude is the reason I never decorated my room. It always felt like living under "someone else's roof". I was never taught that my family home was my home too, it was always about who held the deed or who paid the money. I was taught that if I didn't comply with arbitrary diet and hygiene rules then I would be evicted and thrown to the streets like a spent cigar. It's a bad attitude and it ruins familes. Compare the divorce rate in Indonesia to Australia.

    RBT= If a person is on their open licence (they no longer have to stick P or L signs on the inside of their windscreen) then then they can drink roughly 1 standard drink and still pass an RBT. These rules can vary depending on the state.

    Paying your share on a date means that men and women ENTER the date EQUALLY. It's an equality thing. If you're paying your own way, you're making your own choices. This was largely brought about by women, actually. Gone are bad old days where men could take you on a date, pay for a meal, then have expectations in return - a really STUPID situation for a girl to be in, really (yes, I know this is a subset of certain men). We women want equality. That goes both ways. Men shouldn't have to pay for a date, if BOTH people are in that date to see how they like each other, etc, etc. Equality also means that we take the good and the bad that comes with that, otherwise it's not equality, is it?
    As for paying rent, it's a responsibility thing. We start teaching our children and teenagers responsibility early. If you want stuff, you learn the responsibility of earning it. Paying rent at home is a teaching tool (usually, regardless of the wealth of the family). If adult children are earning a wage, they need to pay their way, and they need to learn that 'paying your way', contributing to your living expenses is important - even if you're not working full time. It's important for self-esteem too - you're supporting yourself. Most parents will support their children through school, high-school and university. But once full time education finishes, regardless of when that is, you're an adult. You need to learn the responsibility of paying your way through life, so for RESPONSIBLE parents (like most countries there are the exceptional minority), that financial support stops - from then on, most Australian parents might LEND you money, but not GIVE you money. And if you live at home, that means paying rent. That's the Australian way, and I think it's a good way. :-)) After all, you're raising children, but you're ALSO raising future responsible adults...one would hope.

    The observations of the driving rules are interesting. I lived in Timor Leste for a while, and many of the same attitudes to the rules applied in TL - with one exception bike helmets. Like many SE Asian countries many Timorese have motor bikes. The rule is they must wear a bike helmet, and from what I saw virtually all Timorese wore them when on a bike, even as a passenger. However, when we crossed into West Timor (ie Indonesia) virtually no one wore helmets. It was striking.

  • @RolandjHearn

    Wow, great job. You really did well. It is really interesting that some of the things you reflect on as the norm in Indonesia were the norm here 40 or 50 years ago. For example the seat belt non usage and overcrowding cars was just the way things were in the early 70's and prior to that. Interestingly since those rules, and the speeding and drink driving focus, was brought in the population of Australia has doubled and road fatalities have halved. When I was a teenager no male would ever think of taking a girl out on a date and not paying for it. If you couldn't afford it you didn't go out. So these changes have significantly changed the norm in Australia, and so I wonder what will happen in Asian cultures across the next 50 years. BTW I do think that any waiter will more than happily take your photo if you ask . While taking photos is not nearly as common for sure the Aussie spirit would mean the wait staff will see it as just a friendly thing to do.

    You can drink alcohol and drive as long as your blood alcohol is low enough. That's for the average male 2 beers in the first hour and 1 every hour after that, then you can still drive. (Woman about half that)

    As an Aussie when I stayed in Jakarta I experienced the reverse of this, so I know what you say is true, also paying to use the loo, for parking on the street was really strange, but I loved the deep fried tofu with fermented veggies and chilli that you buy when sitting in traffic.

  • @hanikocchi4598

    As an Indonesian, my friends were usually split the bill when they r on dates. So i think it's not common for a man to always pay. I think it's depend on your environment, your surrounding, your friends, where u grow up. We consider it as weird occasion if we find woman who like to not paid anything on date.

    Alcohol is not luxury in Indonesia. Even high schooler can buy it. People here don't drink alcohol because consider it bad. So, no drunk driving problem in Indonesia. How many lives have lost around the world because of driving under influence of alcohol? In Vietnam, Thailand, Laos etc this is a very very big problem. Also in the US.

    Hmm I was always brought up that you should pay for the first couple of dates as a man as a way to impress the woman, have always done this on first dates. But I agree after you have been dating for a while usually splitting the bill or taking turns is common. I think if a girl straight up said to me that they expect me to pay for everything though I would just be like nah fk that.

    I'm not sure if it's a new generational thing because everyone has to be woke but everyone I know generally believe in the man paying on a date. It's how I was raised and I would be embarrassed to have my date pay for her way.

    So in Indonesia it's not considered rude to sit at a restaurant using your phone instead of talking to your companions? Tell, you the truth, if I were in a restaurant with you and the only thing you cared about was the wi fi, I would certainly walk out and leave you to your phone. And after spending all evening on your phone, you expect your dates to pay fir your meal? Get real.
