5 Strange Things That Indonesians Do that Makes Me Love Them

Indonesians can at times be confusing to Westerners. They always want to make sure you are as content and happy as they are, but cultural differences make some of these actions of ensuring your full wellbeing a bit annoying. Don’t get me wrong, as odd as these habits are, I in fact fully respect the Indonesian way of life. They usually just take a bit of getting used to. Some of them are as followed:

1. Giving directions – if you need to go somewhere but don’t know how to get there, you can simply ask people on the street for directions. No matter what, they will ALWAYS give you directions. How does every single Indonesian know the directions to everywhere, you might ask? Well the answer is, they DON'T. If an Indonesian doesn’t actually know the directions to somewhere, they will pretend that they do, and they will point in a direction and lead you there, simply just to save face. So expect your destination arrival time to be a bit later.
2. “Tambah Lagi” – expect to return from Indonesia a bit fatter. Indonesians love their rice, and when eating dinner, you will be asked to “tambah lagi” (add more) when you are full and have finished your meal. If you don’t add more, it can often look like you are being rude. I have found the best way to avoid adding more rice when I finish my plate is to act as though I am in a ‘food coma’, or push my stomach out and pretend that I am pregnant. The Indonesians will usually laugh and forget to ask you to ‘tambah lagi’ again.
3. Getting things done – Everyday tasks in Indonesia take a lot longer than it does in Australia. This is due to the fact that Indonesians like to take things slowly and the concept of ‘stressing’, ‘having deadlines’ and ‘rushing’ just doesn’t translate culturally. They are happy to take their time completing jobs because they know that ‘eventually’ it will get done, and you will enjoy your life more if you take it slow and relax. I like to think of an ideal ratio of days to get things done in Australia compared to Indonesia as 2 hours: 2 days. Prepare to spend more time sitting around and enjoying life than trying to make life easier.
4. Asking your life story – ‘Where are you going?’, ‘what are you doing?’, ‘where have you been?’, ‘have you eaten?’, ‘have you showered yet?’, ‘how much do you weigh?’, ‘how old are you?’, ‘why aren’t you married yet?’, ‘why won’t you marry an Indonesian man?’ are just some of the many questions that I get asked everyday. This can take some getting used to, because these kinds of questions can often be very intrusive for non-Indonesians. Try to remember that they are merely deeply interested in your life and they just want to know everything about you.
5. Celebrity-like attention – No matter where you go in Indonesia (except maybe Kuta due to the abundance of westerners on holiday there), expect to be treated like a celebrity. During your stay in Indonesia you will be dragged into 50-100+ photos, will be stared at, stroked at, held onto, called ‘cantik’ (beautiful) and ‘ganteng’ (handsome), and called ‘Mister’ regardless of your gender. You will be added on Facebook by tens to hundreds of random people, and have your phone number requested multiple times. I am not that special, but once I am Indonesia I feel like the most special girl in the world.

So…
Dear Indonesians,
Thank you for being you. I hope you understand how welcoming you are and how lovely you make people feel when we are in your presence. Don’t ever change.

Future vision - the F1 car, 2017 style

2017 F1 car design by Giorgio Piola (motorsport)

As excitement builds around the start of the 2016 season, Formula One engineers and designers already have one eye firmly fixed on 2017, when significant changes to the F1 rule book will dramatically alter the appearance of the cars, making them both wider and faster. The exact regulations may not yet be finalised, but with the help of drawings from technical illustrator Giorgio Piola, we take a look at how next year’s machines could look if recent proposals come to fruition...

The overhead comparison above highlights the key areas of change. Starting from the front, the nose of the car (1) is 20cm longer than in 2016, while the width of the front wing increases from 165cm to 180cm. However, the wing’s new delta shape means the distance between the front tyre and the endplate (2) remains unchanged, as does the endplate size. 

The tyres are wider, with tread width up from 24.5 to 30cm at the front (3) and from 32.5 to 40 at the rear (8). This in itself is expected to make cars around three seconds per lap quicker. Meanwhile, the overall width of the car increases from 140cm to 180cm.

Restrictions on floor surface area means that rearward of the front of the cockpit (5) the car cannot be the maximum 180cm wide for its entire length (6), so there must be a cut-out at some point (7). Another proposal prescribes a minimum body width of 160cm at all points, which means the cut-out cannot be more than 10cm deep. Finally, the rear wing (9) is wider - up from 80cm to 95cm - with a bigger overhang.

(Formula 1)

Looking at the 2016 and ’17 cars front-on, we can see that the rear wing is not only wider, but also lower. The drawing above also highlights the increased width of the tyres (2), the car itself (3), and the front wing (4).

(Formula 1)

A similar comparison from the rear of the cars again makes clear the lower and wider rear wing (1/2) and the wider rear tyres. It also shows us another change: an increase in the permitted height of the rear diffuser, up from 12.5 to 22cm.

(Formula 1)

It is not only the height of the rear diffuser that is different. More importantly, the side-on comparison drawing above shows that instead of starting from the rear axle, the diffuser starts 33cm in front of it (6). As well as the nose (1) and front wing (2) changes, this drawing also shows the return of large turning vanes (3) between the front tyres and the sidepods, as well as highlighting the bigger rear wing (5) with its larger overhang, which will help boost ground effect.
