Respect in Indonesia

This is probably the most important fact that I learned during my traveling in Indonesia. The entire culture of Indonesia is based off of Respect. The older a person is, the more respect they are expected to obtain. Higher ranking people in the army, or higher class in terms of money, also obtain more respect. When you write a letter in Indonesia, instead of saying, Dear (state name here), you actually say, with respect (state name here)
