Hi everyone....I am Anna, a new member. Currently, I live in Jakarta. But planning to move to Stuttgart in the near future due to personal reason. And I think it would be nice if before Im able to make new connections and friends. I am talk-active and prefer to be around with people. I have visited Germany for 7 times now. And also been travelled to some other cities in Europe. Enjoy traveling and exploring new things, as well as making connection to new friends.

I am now working as Event Section Head for one of Indonesia biggest Media Group. I have an extensive work experiences, mostly in the area Marketing communications and PR. Would be nice if I can get more informations or tips of getting an opportunity to work in Stuttgart. For me working is not only about having income, but also passion and being independent.

I know it will be quite difficult to have this opportunity as I am a foreigner who just started to learn Deutsch. I understand it will take some times and I also will need to start again from an entry level. And I dont have problem with that.

So please, would be nice to get some input, what is the necessary things to get a job opportunity there, aside of Deutsch speaking. Will I really need to have a German-based education first and maybe else?

Most Indonesians here are students, so they come and go. But there's also the Dirjososanto family who have been here for ages (three generations) and are the heart of our cultural group "Kridha Budaya Sari".
It's probably best if you come to one of our Gamelan rehearsals (on Tuesdays from 7:00pm in Feuerbach) to meet the others. Just contact me when you are here, I'll arrange something.
Our next performance is at Lindenmuseum during the "Lange Nacht der Museen" on 2.Apr.2016.

Hi again Beppi, thanks again for your information. I will contact you once I arrive in Stuttgart, because currently I still live in Jakarta. Its a good idea to come at the performance, and who knows maybe later I may join the Gamelan, since I already learn to play this traditional instrument while I was younger.
Thank you again and have a nice day
