Bali, the so-called tropical paradise, is a country or a capital? "Batik" is a UNESCO intangible cultural heritage of which country? What is the world's fourth most populous country with more than 1,300 ethnic groups and more than 300 native languages spoken? At the end of November 2022, NCUE International Office organized a sharing session on Indonesian culture of daily life, inviting Indonesian students to talk about Indonesian unique arts, culture, food and languages in Chinese and English, and unveil the mystery of this multiracial country through traditional costumes, singing, quiz games and food, providing amazing first-hand information about this country.

Indonesia straddles the border between South East Asia and Oceania. It is the largest archipelagic country in the world with a population of over 270 million. It is globally renowned for its beautiful scenery, as well as dazzling theatrical dances, ceremonies, arts and crafts. Due to the racial complexity, Indonesia has developed a diverse and rich food culture. Therefore, in the sharing session, in addition to the popular Indonesian instant noodles and snacks as rewards for the quiz game, delicious Indonesian dishes were also provided for participants to experience.

At the event, Indonesian students wore Indonesian traditional costumes made from batik, officially recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity from Indonesia, creating an exotic atmosphere. They started by singing the Indonesian national anthem. During the event, simple greetings in Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian official language) was taught, and some of the participants were invited to come to the stage to practice it by introducing themselves . A quiz game held later further spiced up the event.

This event is part of the series of activities of the annual International Week, which is expected to lead students to understand and respect cultural diversity through the sharing of foreign cultures. Because the event participants were from India, Malaysia, Germany, among others, the interaction between foreign students and local students plays a subtle role in cultivating a sense of "global citizenship" in students.
