Checked the local service provider and none offers prepaid service. Well then I guess I'll have to return to my blackberry-when-used-abroad wisdom: always and only count on the free wi-fi connection. Sigh. Read More

Question about Indonesia? by dlinetackle
I know this may be a weird question. But how abundant are snakes in this country. I only ask, because I want to move abroad, currently located in US, but I am also deathly afraid of snakes... I don't like seeing them, being near them or even ...
snakes? Just how did exactly you imagine Indonesia to be? No way. Unless ppl keeping them as pets, chances are thin nowadays to find ones in the city. Oh btw, a little tip might be handy, always have some salt ready to whisk them away. D Read More

Here in Jakarta, customers will get the whole document the latest in a week. You must've been scammed. It's not supposed to happen in a civilized country like Indonesia. Read More
