For example, in some regions, people may use different words or phrases to give directions. It's always a good idea to ask for clarification if you don't understand the directions given to you. Additionally, Indonesians are known for their friendly and helpful nature, so don't hesitate to ask for help if you're lost or unsure of the way.
