At our practicum placements we are completely immersed in the Indonesian culture and ways of being. This cultural immersion has required everyone to adjust as well as question their ways of being in relation to others.
We have translators at our practicum placements which we are very thankful for but we have still found communication to be a challenge. Short conversations can often take an hour to two hours as meanings can be "lost in translations".
And when all else fails we use sign language!
