In this eye-opening and hilarious episode, Rémy and Savira explore some of the most surprising cultural contrasts between Indonesia and the West.

Why do foreigners seem to complain all the time?
Why is being late totally acceptable in Jakarta?
And why do Indonesians often avoid saying "no", even when the answer is clearly no?

Through real-life stories and honest reflections, the duo compares the mindset of Indonesians, Westerners, and even the Japanese when it comes to communication, time, and social norms.

They also touch on:

• The chaotic charm of Jakarta vs. the chill vibe of Bali

• How Savira baked her signature marble cake from her brand Sapaserrie for the recording

• A peek into Indonesia’s Brightspot Market and what makes the local creative scene so unique

• What it’s like living — and loving — between two cultures

Whether you're part of a multicultural couple, curious about cultural gaps, or just love hearing how other people see the world, this episode is both fun and deeply relatable.
