Hi,

I am new to this site and not sure how it works. I am moving to Banda Aceh for work in late April and will be there for 12months. I will be moving on my own so I don't know anyone and would love to meet some other expats or just chat with people who have been to Aceh/ Banda Aceh before.

Having never travelled to Indo and particularly an area such as Aceh, I'd love any advice/tips or just to hear about your experiences.

Feel free to drop me a line!

Cheers,

Neena (from Australia)

I suspect good advice would be to wear long skirts.

I'm a Muslim and I would be less than keen about going.
