Bali deports expats
Every single running event blocks public roads. According to the organizers, they had authorisation. So if that was the case, then that's a non-issue. I haven't seen anything regarding offensive racist remarks, or shouting at locals. Surely, this would be the bigger headline. I'm not defending...- El_Goretto

Michael vs Michael. 🎯 What a great game.
I'm kinda over it to be honest and not so motivated to watch live. For one, the games being in the middle of the night doesn't help. But I can't help but think this is all being manipulated. Very inconsistent referring, obvious favoritism. It's not enough to put teams like Argentina at an...- El_Goretto

Keep your head down when it comes to government posts

How do you guys invest?
I'm just going to short any stock/crypto mentioned on this forum as it's a strong signal that the bubble has reached its peak.- El_Goretto

Dress Code
What kind of work is she doing? How important is she to the business? @gemima, I don't think we can use the covid masks as an argument, because technically we can ask anyone wearing a mask to remove it for identification purpose. A face veil is meant to be permanent, with some accomodation made...- El_Goretto

Muslim marriage for foreigners - cultural question
In Indonesia, appearances are often more important than facts. Just remember to never go pee at the same time as your father-in-law or brother-in-law in public toilets!- El_Goretto

Muslim marriage for foreigners - cultural question
In response to OP: as Snpark mentioned, I also agree that the choosing the path of least resistance is the best way. Be very clear about it with your fiancée that you won't do it but let the parents believe you've done it, even if you haven't. I also have never heard of any foreigner being...- El_Goretto

Expat Indo Technical Issues (21 Aug 2018)
We thought about it but then decided it is best to continue the way things are. It's mostly due to not wanting to deal with the level of entitlement we would face from a small but specific number of members if they became paying members.- El_Goretto

You guys are free to use an adblock, it's your prerogative, but how do you think this forum is running? The ads we have currently are just enough to cover our hosting fees.- El_Goretto

Northern France, advice
There are many places I don't know on your itinerary, but it looks solid and I'm sure you won't be disappointed. I've been to Honfleur many times when I was a kid, that's where my father was sent to "pension", a Jesuites-led boarding school that looks like a prison and threatened me many times...- El_Goretto

That's the type of email you would receive. Alternatively, if you find the item or similar on Amazon and it ships to Indonesia, then Amazon calculates import duties and you pre-pay at the time of ordering. If the import duty ends up being less than what you pre-paid, Amazon refunds directly to...- El_Goretto
