🇮🇩 A LITTLE INDONESIAN TRADITION THAT’S SO BEAUTIFUL TO WITNESS. ❤️ Have you ever noticed an Indonesian child gently taking an adult’s hand and touching it to their forehead? This lovely gesture is known as salim, and it’s a traditional way of showing respect to parents, grandparents, teachers and other elders. It’s a simple act, but one that carries so much meaning. A way of acknowledging someone, showing appreciation and recognising the respect they deserve. You’ll often see it when children greet their parents or grandparents, particularly during family gatherings and special occasions. Living in Indonesia has given us the opportunity to witness so many little cultural traditions like this, and it’s moments like these that remind us how much there is to learn beyond the usual tourist experiences. It’s not just about discovering a new place, but understanding the people, their values and the beautiful ways they connect with one another. ❤️ 🌴 Have you seen this tradition during your travels in Indonesia? 📱 Want to learn a little Bahasa Indonesia before your next trip? We’ve added a Language section to the FREE Bali Family Finds app, with useful words and phrases, playable audio and phonetic spelling to help you practise. Save this for your next Bali adventure! 🇮🇩
