Teenage Indonesian girl to her father, while walking along Kuta Beach Bali;
"Father, why can I not wear a very modest bathing costume with shawl to cover up my shoulders, etc? These few foreigners who still come to Kuta are wearing immodest bikinis after all."
Father to daughter;
"Because it is legal for foreigners to show off all but their private parts but illegal for you to show off your legs!"
Daughter to father;
"Thank you father, that makes me happy and proud to be Indonesian! [sic]"
