Not quite expat, yet. by Eben11
Hi guys/girls, My name is Eben. Friends of mine have decided to go work in China, tempting me to go as well. I am a deputy principal at a large South African school and might retire soon. I am, however, not even remotely going to stop working. China ...

Still rainy season on Java? by PathsUnwritten
Hi all, I live in China and have some vacation coming and was thinking of going to Java in the next couple weeks. However, I am wondering how the weather is? Is it still the rainy season and I'd be caught inside a lot of the time, or is it dry ...
Thanks for the info. Well, I only have a week and Yogyakarta would be where I'd spend most of the time to see the ruins, but also want to get to Gunung Padang. Might be too much to cram in if it's raining a lot. Read More
