YOu can see that there are some differences compared to other cities in Indonesia. Still crowded and not very 'walk-friendly' place, but nice people, a little bit more open minded.

From a Western prospective, It is an Indonesian city that is has issues with cleanliness/roads/traffic. It is safe. I have walk from Living World Mall to Plaza Mebel to Mal Ska. The people are nice and try to help me all the time.
