Based on my observations within the last 3 months, I can list some of comparisons between us (Indonesian) and them (British) as follows:
1. They’re punctual. If it’s said 10.00 am, then it’s 10.00 am sharp! No excuses, even for another minute.
2. They appreciate every little thing that exist.
3. They like to throw away old and broken things. If they use it once, then they will get rid of it. They never knew things like “using your old pyjamas or underwear as ‘kain lap’” hahaha..
4. They like queuing.
5. They must hold the door opened for you till you come in if they go before you.
6. They don’t have maid, they do all the things themselves. They are shopping, cooking, cleaning and so on, by their own self.
7. They always have their voice. They criticise everything. They don’t like to be told to do something if they don’t want to. They don’t receive things the way things are, they keep questioning things.
8. They don’t mind of languages you use as long as you can communicate each other. They’re none like “grammar Nazi” hihihi..
9. They never stare at someone as they’re weirdo or something. They don’t care how you look. They care what’s inside you.
10. They use "please" too often and "thank you" in every single sentence.
11. They dont litter. (Exc. cigarettes)
Well, thats all i can think of right now. I'll add some more on the way. Its not that i made any judgement or i underestimate my beloved country, but at least we may have another perspective and learn from the well-developed country, right? ;)
