    Planning to learn more Bahasa, or not really a priority?

    I'm glad my fellow mod deleted all the non-sense in this thread! Back to the topic, I filled out the survey and I thought it was well made. Not too long and the questions were relevant. It kinda forced me to look back at my time here and how I've dealt with the language.

    Manners in Bali

    Actually, it was taught to me by a relative. I never took formal lessons. But indeed I always thought it was very formal.

    Looks like I may be moving to Jakarta

    In that case, have you considered the Tangerang Selatan area, more specifically BSD (where Unilever is located)? It's a lot better lifestyle than in the city, easier to get to the airport and basically everything you could ask for. I've been living in that area for 14 years now, so I know it...

    Manners in Bali

    Boleh minta or boleh saya minta, literally translates to May I request, and it's very polite. I use it all the time.

    Do you have a rough idea of who your clients will be? Start by checking where they are located. If they are industrial types and you will visit factories, etc, it will be outside the city, so then it doesn't factor all that much. Then it depends also on your budget. Prices for apartments vary...

    No back-seat modding, thanks. Post is on topic (this is not an invitation to debate with me).

    Now, you need to do transaction more often on your Indonesian Bank AC

    Mobil Rakyat...new cars

    I bought a C3 Aircross last year. I was concerned about thr timing belt issue on the puretech engines, so I researched it quite a bit. Thankfully, they have changed the design and now use a timing chain rather than belt which will not degrade in the engine oil. So far I am very happy with it...

    It's already happening, the US tariff on Indonesia is 32%, one of the highest one

    Not convinced of the positive effects. This is essentially a tax on US businesses and consumers. Either prices stay the same and business performance decreases, or prices increase and consumer purchasing power decreases. None of this is good for the US Economy in my opinion, but we'll see, I'm...

    STEAM games for decent price

    Thank you for the clarification. It's reassuring that it didn't come from a bad seller on Shopee, but very sorry to hear you child fell victim of a phishing scam. But how did it come to 200jt loss? Was that in skin values?
