Hi Mas Fred, thx for the lead ! Just googled them.  I was just only talking to my friend about corporate responsibility and how his company can help undernourished kids here since he's in the food industry.
Thx again !

Hello H.Blake.

Welcome to Expat.com!

The Jobs in Jakarta section could help as well. Do not hesitate to post an advert there.

Concerning furniture, you can take a look in the Jakarta classifieds.

Thank you,
Aurélie

Hi 'Man of Leisure',
have you found anything yet?
If yes, I would like to participate with you as well.
Thanks!

Hi everyone..

It's been many months since I last checked in, so just want to share my eventful stay in Jakarta so far..

My wife and I finally moved into a house in Kemang sometime in June. Barely 3 weeks later, our house was burgled while we were away for the weekend ! I guest my "sensing" about the area being safe was wrong.. The Ketua RT said that the area was actually "aman tapi tak aman". I guess his message is not to take things for granted, his own house having been burgled before.

So I got 2 jaga to look after the house 24/7. Not those Satpam from the agencies tho, but through some recommendations. Then tragedy no. 2 struck. One of the jaga took the car out while my wife and I was out of town, and got into an accident. Fortunately no one was killed or injured ! So it wasn't so bad after all and the car is insured anyways. The jaga took off after the accident but came back a few weeks later to apologize and explained that he took the car out to check on his son who was very sick..

Before the dust settled, tragedy no. 3 struck - my wife came down with dengue fever. She was hospitalized for 5 days. Thanks to the doctors here who made early diagnosis and constant monitoring, my wife recovered nicely. But not before giving me one hell of a scare, and her platelet level went down to just 22 at one point.

People say bad luck comes in 3s, so I guess I've filled up my quota. Looking forward to a peaceful stay in Jakarta now..

Wow lots of things happening to you,  none of them nice.   I hope that's the end of the bad luck and the good starts soon.
