"Hello" from a (soon to be) new resident of Jakarta

Hello Andrew,

Welcome yo the forum and welcome to Jakarta in advance :-)
I hope you'll enjoy your stay there and will learn a lot about the local culture.
Indonesian people are very friendly in general, One of the best way to learn about the country is through its people.

Have a nice day :-)

Hi Sofiefiona,

Welcome to the Big Durian! I hope you'll enjoy your stay :-)

Hey Andrew, Welcome to Paradise
You will love it!

hi @sofiefiona id love to meet and hang out with you too

Paradise being Indonesia? or Jakarta? But yes I am sure Andrew will have an amazing experience here.

@lukereg hmmm, Indonesia I guess.. Jakarta? Not so much lol

Didn't Guns n Roses sing about a paradise city? I prefer `welcome to the jungle` sounds more apt!

Thanks for the welcome, guys - counting down the days and only a few weeks to go!

@surely & @sofiefiona : a get-together would be great, with anyone else who wants to join too.

Hi Andrew
I'm just moving there too.
Would be great to meet up sometime.
I'm in Bangkok then fly out on the 20th July last of my holidays before working again.
I've recently been living in Ho Chi Minh City is the traffic worse in Jakarta lol?

Hi lizzyvn
Great!  I will arrive in late August, so it would be great to meet then if you're still around - there are a few others who have said they'd be interested in meeting too.

Sounds great will stay in touch

Hi Andrew, welcome to one little spot of this huge archipelago! I hope you'll enjoy being here. Don't hesitate to contact me if you feel you want to, maybe we could have some beers!
