    How to proceess KITAS/VITAS Online

    Thanks Dafluff, it just seems such a weird concept to me having a family with only one person in it. It sounds like the person in the office doesn't realise that they're supposed to issue the Kartu Keluarga the way you've described.

    How to proceess KITAS/VITAS Online

    I got married at the start of the year in Indonesia. I'm in England at the moment and want to start the process for getting Vitas to arrive in Indonesia in early November but I've got quite a few questions. My wife's KTP at the moment says Belum Kawin but she should be able to get a new one...

    Eco-friendly houseboat for hire in Togian Islands, Central Sulawesi

    From start to finish it took about 18 months of which I spent 6 months in England so nothing happened for 6 months except that some of the roof got blown off and my wife (now ex-wife) left it to rot in the sun and rain. Arriving in Indo again and seeing the state of it meant that I spent two...

    Eco-friendly houseboat for hire in Togian Islands, Central Sulawesi

    Thanks jstar, pleased you like it. Very valid points that you make. I obviously hope you're wrong at least to a certain extent so that I can hire it out. Most of the resorts in the Togian Islands are around Rp300,000 per person per night so I don't think our price is excessive if you think...

    Eco-friendly houseboat for hire in Togian Islands, Central Sulawesi

    Very interesting Atlantis. I've never heard that katingting comes from the Malay word for hopscotch. I've always been told that the word katingting comes from the noise that the engine makes but it could quite easily be that my friends don't know where the word comes from so they've just made...

    Eco-friendly houseboat for hire in Togian Islands, Central Sulawesi

    William King and Anglian, thanks for your comments which give me great encouragement. Yes, it's great. It's nice to be fishing at night and cook the fish straight from the hook. The lighting attracts the fish as well so it can be good fun. Also nice to be able to choose where to go, weather...

    Eco-friendly houseboat for hire in Togian Islands, Central Sulawesi

    Hi steveandpenny, thanks for your comments and questions. Apologies for the rather late reply, I've been a bit busy over the past few days as I've just started work. We've had a few tests with the houseboat and found that in big waves if we were using a boat pushing the houseboat the boat that...

    Eco-friendly houseboat for hire in Togian Islands, Central Sulawesi

    Hi, anyone looking for a short (or long) holiday in an area well known for fantastic snorkelling and diving could do worse than going to the Togian Islands. As I've just finished building a houseboat there I thought I'd share a video I've made so you can have a quick look to see what it's...

    TIme to jump in and learn the language

    My ex-wife used to run a little kiosk selling the usual stuff but every time someone asked for obat nyamuk I would ask them why they don't take the mosquito to the rumah sakit and give them an infus so that the mosquito would quickly regain it's health. Almost everyone would laugh but also said...

    Passing assets after divorce to son and/or step daughter.

    Things are getting better now. My wife has told my friends not to sponsor me. She's arranged a letter from the Kepala Desa to tell immigration not to extend my visa although I've had a promise from the Kepala Sesa that he will write to them again saying to allow me to extend. Whether...

    Passing assets after divorce to son and/or step daughter.

    Yes, exactly. especially when she only wakes up to count how many times we've had sex. She'll wear a jilbab to prove she's a good muslim of course and she'll be the primary guardian while I'm in England which is why I said back to square one

    Passing assets after divorce to son and/or step daughter.

    Ok, here's my latest situation. I wanted the house to go in my son (8 years old) and step daughters (18 years old) name. Because my wife is the one filing for divorce she has to leave the house and so the house can't be in her name. It can't be in my step daughters name because she is not my...

    Passing assets after divorce to son and/or step daughter.

    I agree MOST divorces are not easy. I think ours could be and might be as strange as the 2nd husband being dead that lives in Luwuk. Bizarre, REALLY bizarre. Ok, we will be divorced but will live in the same house, maybe not too strange up to now but when my wife filed for divorced we...

    Passing assets after divorce to son and/or step daughter.

    No apology needed. A very valid point of view that has now been noted, just not sure if I have a better choice. Very worrying.
