How is it done in Indonesia?

Everyday topic

When you ask about everyday life in Indonesia, it helps to separate national holidays from joint leave: the first is written into regulation, the second is supplementary leave arranged each year by a joint decree of three ministries, and only the two together give the actual length of a break. Another common gap is that the address on someone's identity card is not necessarily where they live, which affects the polling station, the school catchment and where many procedures are handled. Spelling out both distinctions is what makes the information accurate. When asking 'when', it helps to specify Islamic, Gregorian or Balinese, since three calendars coexist on the same holiday list.
