    They did give us a Benoa Whatsapp number so I will try that before heading off to the office.

    Imigrasi on line?

    Marcus. Thanks. That pushed us along somewhat following the above instructions. Had some fun trying to decipher the handwriting of the number in my passport but then my wife picked up my KITAP card on which the number is printed. Succeeded in getting the data as below. When I clicked on action...

    Imigrasi on line?

    We created the account just a few days ago and it has been verified but then as we had previously made our applications at imi offices then there is nothing as yet lodged in her account details. We will go back to the Benoa office tomorrow morning and see if they can put us in the right direction.

    Medical insurance in Australia

    It seems many people see health insurance as simply a matter of signing up, paying a fee and your are covered without really looking at the terms and conditions. As Pantaiema has pointed out, apart from government schemes like BPJS and Medicare in Aus, private insurance is a business with the...

    Imigrasi on line?

    We created an Imigrasi account for my wife WNA sponsor as were told to do by Imigrasi at Benoa office. They said to use evisa.imigrasi.go.id/ The account was then verified. The website above seems to be limited to visa applications. I need to register a new Australian passport and then apply...

    Hiroshima and Nagasaki

    One of the delicate issues is to do with the role of the Emperor Hirohito. General MacArthur deemed it necessary for public order to keep the Emperor in place. A lot was done to represent the Emperor as a kind of puppet of the military and not directly responsible for war crimes. The Emperor...

    Hiroshima and Nagasaki

    Thousands of Japanese are gathering to commemorate the dropping of atomic bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima 80 years ago. This is an important moment and should never be forgotten. However it is unfortunate that it seems many young Japanese are being educated with some Japanese schools omitting or...

    Skype alternative.

    Amazing technology now but everything is so complicated. I can remember when you stuck your finger in a hole and dialled the number. In the country, you picked up the phone, a woman answered and you told her who you were calling to get connected. My sister worked at the GPO which had a service...

    Waste Management in Indonesia

    One does need a sense of humour in life. So putting it simply without all the graphics, whichever way you look at it, we're stuffed.

    Waste Management in Indonesia

    And how are plastic bricks regarding flammability? I am not opposed to recycling and it definitely does have value but ultimately it requires a turning away from all the plastics which are creating so much ugly and dangerous waste. Which ever way you look at it the only seriously impactful means...

    Waste Management in Indonesia

    Recycling is not really the answer as after two or three recycles the polymer chain grows shorter, so its quality is reduced and it can no longer be used. As for small and smaller particles or nano particles they are now everywhere including in the flesh of the oceans fish and the blood of...

    Waste Management in Indonesia

    I often used to have tea at cheap Chinese cafes in Singapore. Tea was served in chipped cups and always slopped into the saucer. They had spitting pots. A lot of hawking and spitting. When the new anti spitting rules were introduced, young people doing national service would police the streets...

    Why Indonesia...?

    Ultimately we are all on our own. As children we make friends instantly. As teenagers we hang out a lot and can drop in to see each other whenever we like. As friends get to the marrying age then it becomes the thing to be invited or make a call before dropping around. I have outlived my...

    Waste Management in Indonesia

    It seems with the never ending slough of waste, plastic, toxic chemicals and general pollution we are set on destroying the planet. A disconcerting report today that shows how this trend associated with sea warming is being found around the globe...

    The harsh reality of being homeless in Jakarta

    What is your point? There is no doubt that the poorest in Indonesia are worse off than poor people in countries like Australia. This does not mean the issue of poverty and homelessness in Australia is not worthy of comment.

    Starlink Internet

    With a country that has aspirations to become a kind of economic powerhouse, major projects involving billions of dollars it is hard to understand that there seems not to be a commitment to a vastly improved internet capability. I have no idea what kind of costs would be involved. Perhaps...

    Starlink Internet

    A report today that Starlink has had a global network outage attributed to software. I wonder how Expat Ino members who now have Starlink are getting on. Perhaps now unable to read the forum.

    Countries are Obligated to Protect Climate

    Not much of a joke if living on an island now half a metre above sea level or the $2 million house on the east coast of Australia is in danger of falling into the sea. And it may be it hard to laugh if living in cities that are experiencing dangerously high temperatures. Dubai yesterday recorded...
