Did you "commit" any embarrassing or humorous cultural blunders? If you did and you'd like to share them, please do tell!

In Bogor, it is important to be mindful of cultural norms and customs. It is considered impolite to point with your index finger, so it is best to use an open hand when gesturing. It is also important to dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites. Additionally, it is important to be respectful when taking photographs, as some people may not want their picture taken. Finally, it is important to be aware of the local language and to be respectful when speaking to locals.
