Previously there were also several viral videos of foreign tourists accidentally drinking kobokan water while at a local shop because they thought it was a complimentary drink provided by the shop. Funny viral videos like this are also a breath of fresh air amid the many cases of foreign tourists violating regulations and eventually being deported from Indonesia.
