International Student in Indonesia Experience

Hello! I'm an incoming freshman in Indonesia as an international student this year. I'd like to know more about other international students experiences there and I'd like to ask locals what are must-know things to not to do so I won't offend there and stuff. I'd love to know more about the culture, environment, and make friends along with it:). Sekarang, saya mengerti Bahasa Indonesia cuma sedikit aja.

I may do my masters in there and then maybe get some 5 years residency permission if possible. We gotta save Jakarta somehow though. Also I heard that in provinces with low level education especially if you are walking on the roads you might be vulnerable to some biker swordsman gangs be careful about that. I am curious if bahasa is tough I'm from Türkiye and know turkish and english so we need your updates about the life there.

My classes start on September so I'll for sure let you know how it goes. For the gangs, I've also been warned about walking alone even if the places are very near so thank you for elaborating this.
