Hello would love any advice on where to find property listing for apt's in bandung. Thanks- @DES99
@DES99 just a quick footnote to my earlier response: you might be thinking about Badung which is part of Bali rather than Bandung West Java which is somewhat remote (about 2-3 hours from Jakarta) in the mountains.
@DES99 I'm African American and have traveled all over Indonesia for the last 4 years and I have never had a problem race wise. You won't either. Whether you're in Bali or Surabaya and points in between race is not an issue.
Construction workers in Indonesia really don't get paid a lot in even in Bali. If you are planning to solely live off the income you earn you may face the cost of living challenging. Regarding your racism comment, as a white guy I've been to Indonesia 22 years ago and again before covid to places where you don't see any or many tourists and the people are practical, very helpful, soo friendly and curious and very nice and people you would want to live amongst.
If you have an accident it's probably your fault regardless of what happened, especially if you don't have a valid licence.
