How to spend free time as Indonesian

After some weeks in Indonesia, I felt kind of bored because from my point of view, there was nothing to do. So I asked the people in my university, the locals to know what they do during their free time, the answer was terrible to me.

They simply answered me that if they aren’t spending time in their home with their family, they would just go to the shopping mall, do some shopping, watch a movie and come back shopping. The only explication I found that would make the mall so attractive is the free air-conditionned there and not having the parents saying what they should or not do. To sum up, they don’t like so much sports and heat outside is a problem for many activities. They do not like do travel in far places, but can make exception for a great restaurant as far as 3 hours driving.
