Why Indonesians like to take photos with you? You might be surprised that people come at you asking for photos especially in Borobudur and Prambanan. You become like a celebrity here. Why do they do that?
It is because they who are mostly from outside Yogyakarta rarely meet foreigners whom they see merely on TV and movies. So having an interaction with foreigners is such a memorable experience that will last long in their memories.
If somehow you think you don’t like it or have had enough of it, just politely say no or “maaf” and they’ll be fine.
Enjoy Indonesia! Enjoy Yogyakarta!
