On the road from Jakarta to Bandung yesterday, the tour guide listed the qualities expected of a good wife in Indonesia. Top of the list was waking up earlier than the husband and making breakfast for him. In Indonesia, according to the guide, a good wife wakes her husband up by the aroma of her kopi.
Someone in turn quipped that very romantic marriage proposals in Indonesia involve the man asking his significant other if she would like to make kopi for him every morning.
This would of course rank as high on the list of romantic marriage proposals as "Let's go apply for a HDB flat".
