Moving to jakarta

Where will you be staying? There are lots of hangouts for westerners and lots of areas have get togethers etc. It will just depend on your location.

My husband stays at the shangri la Jakarta, however we will move to a apartment or house around that same area, not too far from the city

OK thats nice, very nice. You are not far from Ben hill area, Grand Indonesia mall and Senayan. So there will lots of places for you to go. You should google map Jakarta to help you understand the size of it.

Hangouts for Westerners - Aphrodites in Rasuna Kuninghan, Eastern Promise, The Irish bar - Kemang, Mollys - Senaya,  Those places will have more information about groups and social meetings. Also try the embassy as well as they often have different things organised for people.

Thanks heaps!!!
