When you are in Indonesia, buy a nice sarong. This is the ideal garment in Indonesia. You can use the sarong as a stylish skirt, as a cloth to sit on, as a sheet and as a shawl (for example, if you are wearing short clothes and want to visit a temple). This sarong is also a beautiful souvenir and reminder of your trip when you get back home.
