Jam karet - rubber time
Many people say that jam karet - time rubber/elastic - is part of Indonesian culture. Do you agree? It seems that jam karet is an accepted part of Indonesian life. Indonesians have become accustomed to the flexibility of time. For special occasions like weddings and conferences, people do not mind waiting to show respect or to be polite. They often regard it as a chance to socialise. People do not mind if the event starts late. If people are late for an appointment they often claim jam karet. There are always a zillion reasons for being late of course - flat tyres, floods, traffic jams, being tired, travel delays and motorbikes breaking down.
