    Reasonably priced backup electrical for 2200kw house. Generator, Power Station?

    They have a number of videos showing it in use. As far as I can tell it is an Indonesian product using Japanese technology. Pretty certain it’s not 60db or less. I’d love to have a really big solar panel system, with the LifePO4 batteries, but I’d be afraid of how expensive it is. Youtube...

    Airlines

    It’s funny how these news reports are talking about gate lice. It’s been used on frequent flyer sites like flyertalk.com for 20 years, I’d guess.

    Reasonably priced backup electrical for 2200kw house. Generator, Power Station?

    This is the smaller type that I’m considering. Seems to have good reviews. Not a huge monster. Tokopedia gas generator

    New 3rd Revision of the Immigration Law

    If no MERP is necessary, it would certainly be nice, especially for lifetime KITAP holders.

    Reasonably priced backup electrical for 2200kw house. Generator, Power Station?

    We had an electrical outage a few weeks ago during the day, and it really made me think about what I would do for longer outages. As someone who has very limited mobility, it’s not easy for me to just leave for a few hours to escape the daytime heat. Perhaps I’m just getting older, but Bandung...

    Reliable Immigration Lawyer please

    There are many reports on this forum about getting a kitas for a spouse. Unless there are some very special circumstances, a lawyer would only lighten your wallet quite a bit.

    Cold cuts in Malang

    Huh? One of the few Indonesian cities with an International airport? Checking online there seem to be at least 16. From what Google says, there are only direct non-stop flights from Singapore and Malaysia, from the new YIA airport. Pretty limited.

    How do you guys invest?

    Google FATCA for US worldwide banking regulations.

    How do you guys invest?

    Probably they don’t want to deal with the extra paperwork that US citizens and residents generate.

    Waste Management in Indonesia

    Our housing complex has garbage service included in our 150k monthly fee. I think it’s 2-3 times a week pickup. My wife loves to open the windows for cool, fresh air in the morning. Lately, half the mornings, she has the close the windows quickly, as someone is burning garbage at 6-7am, and the...

    I’ll take an Indonesian customs official over a TSA agent any day.

    Press release Immigration 🎫 🛂

    Plenty of other identification you can fly domestically with. Not your Costco card, but passport or passport card, many other government issued ID’s. They obviously can’t require foreign nationals to have a REAL ID to fly.

    Press release Immigration 🎫 🛂

    Not really true about Real ID. They’ve been trying to implement it for at least a decade. They keep pushing the date back again and again. All sorts of other ID will work fine, a passport, other government ID’s. I still use my US drivers license that was issued over 30 years ago.

    Hi

    Airfare has gotten a lot more expensive after Covid. I had a relative in Costa Rica who wanted to visit Indonesia, and the pricing was ridiculous for coach.

    Adding a single room AC to your house. Reliable unit/pricing?

    Those aren’t my kid’s hand, but a 40 year old cousin who drives for us, plus helps with other stuff. I’m not sure what size breaker is in there now. I could ask the previous owner what size of wiring he used.

    Adding a single room AC to your house. Reliable unit/pricing?

    My kid sometimes just hangs out in our bedroom to cool off. She’s been hinting that she’d like an AC unit, too, but I don’t think that’s gonna fly with her mother.

    Buying Aircon units, advice needed

    We bought a 1/2 Pk Gree unit in January, for 4.2jt installed. As mentioned in my other thread. It’s worked fine, except we hadn’t cleaned out the filters until recently. Very quiet unit. Seems to cost about 200-250k in electricity a month in Bandung. Usually set at 24-25c recently, run for...

    Hi

    Sadly, not that surprising. Keeping that forum running correctly never seemed a high priority. Glad to see you here, Marcus! Always enjoyed your posts.
