Sanur Jadi dulu program ini diluncurkan pemerintah untuk kasih insentif orang yang di PHK atau tidak bekerja pas pandemi. Jadi ya gw tentu saja nggak punya hak tho. Sebagai orang yang nggak punya hak, ya gw nggak ikutan lah. Trus temen gw beberapa bulan lalu bilang, ikut aja soalnya ini buat yg kerja yg mau nunjang skill juga lho. "Hah masa sih?" Yaudah pas liat oh ya bener juga, jadi gw daftar. Daftar pertama di gelombang 20 nggak lolos. Trus ya udah patah hati dah lah gausah daftar. Eh tiba-tiba minggu lalu temen gw lolos gelombang berapa gitu, lalu bilang kalau gelombang 29 udah buka. Yaudah deh ikutan aja. Eh lolos dong. Pembukaan gelombang ini termasuk cepet. Hampir tiap minggu selalu ada gelombang baru yang dibuka. Jadi daftar di gelombangnya itu selama 3 harian, pengumumannya 3 hari kemudian, lalu 3 hari kemudian udah bukaan baru. Bener-bener cepet banget. Nah temen gw yang lagi S2 nggak bisa ikutan padahal dia juga kerja sebagai pengajar. Alasannya KTP sudah terdafta

Growing up as an Asian, in a tropical country, make me want to avoid the sun as much as possible. Well... you obviously need the sunlight still, in the morning - but not during the hottest hour of the day.
We’re taught to cover our bodies under the sun lol. Doesn’t really matter how, but fully covered by a jacket, long sleeves, or long pants while driving a scooter is definitely a normal thing to do in Indonesia 😌😎.
On the other hand, foreigners find it funny. Because “It’s too hot to cover yourself like that under the sun”. Well... we have two things here in Indonesia. Humidity and high temperature. You’re so right about "it’s too hot to cover like that" because we have very high humidity. But when you don't cover yourself like that, the sunlight will “bite” you, and that way you'll get sunburn.
Moving to Bali, I see too many foreigners driving the scooter nakedly. Yes, well, in a bikini or topless and very short pants. Like, almost naked. It always makes me think “OMG you’ll get a massive sunburn! Cover yourself ffs”. In the middle of the day.
This sunny, hot, it was 35 degree, without any shade 😑
As well as sunbathing on the beach, directly exposed to the sun, on its hottest day. I usually go to the beach around 1 PM as well, but I always find a shade. I can’t let myself get direct exposure like that. In Sanur, we have a lot of trees for shade. I went to Jumeirah beach in Dubai (not a lot of trees there, or should I say there is none?) and I was the only one who was fully covered. The others? Enjoyed sunbathing in their bikinis and swimming pants.
Long pants, jacket, cover my head and neck too because it was just too hot and sunny.
I know, that they live in 4 seasons countries and really appreciate the sun that much. I know how happy I was when I got the sunlight during winter. But... the sun in tropical countries is dangerous during the daytime. Besides, if you wanna get as much sunlight while you’re here, just do it in the morning. It’s a lot safer than in the middle of the day.
Though I still have the same unanswered question, “Why are you doing that?” If you're a foreigner and love to do that, let me know why.
Have a good day, people! 💜
