Took me 8 hours just to get to Bandung from Bekasi, worst traffic I have ever been in

Unless one gets a truly high-paying job, I think Jakarta should be avoided at all cost.
The smaller cities in Java are still very nice to live, and by nice I mean much healthier, too!

Hi All,

Nice to connected with you

Hello,
I have stayed here several times in South Jakarta.
Hotel Kristal
reservations@hotelkristal.com

Very clean include breakfast and close to expat community in South of Jakarta, in Kemang Area.

It’s to be noted that traffic jam is a total nightmare in Jakarta, so give yourself at least 1.5 to go anywhere. If you think London traffic is bad, Jakarta is 10X worst, at least.......

Good luck!

Hi - I don’t mean to offend anyone here, especially the super nice Indonesian ladies.

I am new to this site and have notice there are more local members than true expats in this site.

I hope this is not a dating site or social group activity, because for that we have Facebook, Instagram and the Tourist Bureau.

Who are considered expats in Indonesia? The foreign nationals who work and/or keep properties in this country, the locals who work with expats or Multinational Corporation, or also the locals who just like to know the expats?
Can the site moderator give some clarification?

I am reluctant to post questions publicly as it might open to unwanted solicitation.

Thanks in advance.

All are welcome as long as they stay within the rules, or at least don't break them too much.
You'll notice I'm Indonesian, that being because I'm an immigrant rather than an expat, a sort of ex-expat.

There is a dating section in classifieds where horny men can be ignored by all but gold diggers, but such things are not allowed on the open forums.

Any expat that lives in Indonesia, but that stretches to immigrants such as myself.

Any such posts should be reported so they can be reviewed. You'll see ads, spam, and other unwanted stuff removed pretty quickly by Luke, myself, or one of the senior team members.

Hi

I'm 52 and so is my wife.  We live in the United States and want to move to Bali next year.  My biggest concern at the moment is finding health insurance and how to go about doing so.  Also my parents who are 83 and 76 would move with us.

Hi Expat.com and all,

Quick intro: I've been an expat in 4 countries for 11 years, 6 of which in Jakarta, Indonesia. Yet I only signed up today, as I'm trying to find a Bahasa Indonesia tutor to help me make my intermediate level Indonesian fluent (I even managed to get blocked by the anti-spam algorithm after answering more than 3 Bahasa lessons Classifieds)

Question: What's the fastest way to learn formal Bahasa?
I'm willing to invest time in learning intensively.

Thanks
BR
Doel

you have to brave to talk in bahasa with someone, to learn it

Me too

I am new member
And didn't know how to use it cause i just wanna to finding job for my friend. .
Hhiii

Bad idea.
Jalan Jaksa is a dump populated by low class prostitutes and ladyboys selling diseases at tourist prices. Most of the street is closed down bars and not much else.
One place on there looked reasonable, but that's all.

did you find any websites???

Hello, John here from Germany. I have travelled around the world and felt in love with Bali, Lombok and Bima. Yes, Bima. Bima is east of Lombok, not so tourist crowded but has pretty gentle beaches.

so I decide to buy and lease land from Lombok for building stores from container in Obel-Obel. And bought land in Bima to built private villas with beach access,

if someone interest to invest into that projects and even wants to get more information, he or she can drop an message to me.

thanks,

John
