Hi, I'm Richard and I am from New Zealand and I work as a contract Aircraft Engineer, which has me currently living and working in Jakarta on a month rotational basis. I have been coming to Jakarta for 18 months now.
I joined expat.com on 10 September 2013.

Seeing as much as I could
Absolutely everything, fantastic museums, cafe's, restaurants and very, very beautiful girls who know how to dress smart but incredibly sexy.
very hard language to learn. Trying not to snore and wake everyone up in my train carriage when I was busting for a pee!
Seeing as much as I could
almost everything

The Great NZ experience
Angry drunk people, Em Rascols, poverty and corruption on a huge scale.
Birds, Rugby and Beer! Hunting, Fishing and developing my business skills.
