The best is to invest in a small startup, and wait for the money to roll in 5 or 10 years later. however, there are risks involved. Good luck with that. Alternatively speak to an investment broker. Of course property is a good investment always but ... Read More

I think I mentioned the link previously, but just look on www.mobil123.com and you can find every brand of car both new and secondhand in every city of Indonesia. At least it gives you an idea of prices. However, the best way is once you are here, ... Read More

Luke you weren't invited to the last one or the one before that. Mostly it's new expats and a few locals who join our meet ups where we can offer them advice and assistance on getting started in Indonesia. Tons of fun actually. Good idea for ... Read More

I'd also like to remind members that this isn't a dating website. Personally I have no issues with members arranging a get together as we did some months ago. However, if it becomes a dating site then certainly I would be less inclined to ... Read More

Finding your bearings in Indonesia by Priscilla
Hello, While technology has definitely helped us navigate ourselves more easily in most countries, it's not the case everywhere. How do you get to your destinations and navigate yourself in Indonesia? Do you use gps systems such as ...
Yeah I used to feel that way about google maps too, used to think it was great. As another poster mentioned it;s totally sucks at night time when they make the background black. Bloody awful that especially as my eyesight isn't as good as it ... Read More
Looking For Job In Jakarta by Soumyadip7
I heard that this forum may helps to spread information for looking for a job, so I registered and make a post here. I am actually urgently looking for a job in Jakarta, because my wife is Indonesian, and since our baby borned , I get really need to ...
However, probably loads better to apply for jobs on a real job website as not sure how much of a response you'd get by posting it here. I've noticed that maids and cleaners sometimes post here, so would recommend going for the professional ... Read More

Car theft by GuestPoster0210
We had a visit at our yard today by the local police, they wanted to update car owners with a spate of recent car thefts 17 in 5 days/nights and high end bikes, these will probably be shipped to another location at some stage or broken down for ...
Sounds interesting. It's something I haven't really thought much about but certainly worth considering. Another useful gadget is a dash cam which I recall another poster mentioning lots of times. Been driving here for years without problems ... Read More

Hi Priscilla. Actually I think both google maps and waze are both good. I had been using google maps for donkeys years, but recently switched over to waze which i found far simpler and better when driving. That is my main reason for switching from ... Read More

Hello Priscilla, I use my inbuilt sense of direction and follow road signs and speak to locals. I also sometimes use Google Maps or Waze (better than Google maps in my opinion). Cheers Read More
Tutors for reading and writing by rosefirth
I have an Indonesian friend living in Bali. She's in her mid 40s and has never learned to read and write. I'd love to help her but I don't have the skills. Does anyone know of any tutors or a school who can teach her to read and ...
Just ask one of the two "experts" here to assist you, or better still just send a message to one of the moderators, Priscilla or Bhavna and ask if they can close the topic,. Enjoy your weekend Rose. I was in Ubud over the weekend, ... Read More

Hi Rose, Honestly, the best way is not really to ask here but just inquire in Bali. Everyone has their own ideas about how you could do this but obviously you aren't really getting the answers that you seek. Furthermore, there are plenty of ... Read More
