Fortunately there are “seasoned veterans” who can help you find the answers to these questions. They may be people in your company, people that you meet in a business association, friends you make in social situations or paid consultants.
Just as you go to great lengths to find out what you need to bring with you in your household shipment, it would be wise to spend a significant amount of time, prior to your arrival, learning how Indonesians conduct their business affairs. Every hour you invest in gaining this knowledge will result in significant time savings and lessened frustrations as you learn to prevent or lessen miscommunications and problems before they occur. Don't be hesitant to ask questions of those who have years of experience in Indonesia. Most people are eager to share some advice! However, if you don't ask, you'll never receive their helpful tips.
