When I got married in Indonesia I converted. I did the conversion and then the marriage immediately afterwards. My Indonesian wife contacted the authorities and they told her what needs to be done. Hopefully your fiancee would be able to do the ... Read More

I don't work so I can't give an answer to some of your questions. But local Indonesians are probably just as skilled with AI as foreigners and that makes it much more difficult for foreigners to find jobs here in that field. Also, I would question ... Read More

Sure, I just sent the email again. Read More

Just sent you the contact details of my former agent in Kuala Lumper. She always gave me great prices and would advise when to switch companies if other insurance companies had better deals. Read More

A lot of people rent rooms or small studios often in nice apartment buildings, something like a high end kost. It seems your rental prices are only for expats whose companies are going to pay their rent. These can be found throughout the city in ... Read More

Frankly you'd be better off asking your question on the Bali Forum of a main travel advisor site where you are certain to get answers from many people who have experience in chartering boats in Bali. Here in this forum we are mostly expats or expat ... Read More

You'd better listen to what expats and locals who have lived and worked in Malaysia have advised rather than waste your time and effort applying for something that will never happen. Sorry to be so blunt but your chances of being able to do that ... Read More

Wish I had one here in Indonesia. My contractor built our house but he really sucks at waterproofing the flat roof. However, getting an expert won't cost much since that kind of labour work is cheap in Indonesia. It's the same in Malaysia. Also, ... Read More

I love durian, but usually only buy from Rumah Buah when the prices are down. When Jakartans visit then the prices seem to go up a lot. But anyway, they are really delicious if you know how to choose. The supermarkets here in Bandung mostly sell not ... Read More

Are those durians fresh from the tree for free? The ones here in Bandung must be bought but the fresh ones from the tree are not necessarily the ones that are ready to eat. Can you drop some of the free ones to me in Bandung? Read More

Yogyakarta is alright, but it's too hot. I've been there so many times over the years and seen much of what there is to see. Things I miss there are Mediterranea restaurant and visiting traditional markets. But it's definitely too hot for my liking ... Read More

I've lived in Birmingham, but back in the early 60's it was a lot safer. I used to walk alone to my infant school when I was 6 years old, about a mile from my house, and was never kidnapped or fiddled with. Can't remember the food prices though. I ... Read More
