    EV in Indonesia

    Not sure which EV cars are now available in Indonesia. I invested a lot into Asian EV companies for my youngest’s kid education account. BYD and Li are probably the more famous Chinese ones, with Nio and XPEV further behind. Vietnam’s VFS went crazy for a few days when it first hit the stock...

    I’ve have times where my Kitap or Kitas had no active Merp attached.

    Counseling/therapy for tween in Bandung

    She had her first badminton lesson on Saturday. She liked it quite a bit, but for some reason decided not to eat anything at all the whole day before the lesson. She was running ragged for 30 minutes, took a break and then vomited. I hope next week, she’ll eat a sensible meal an hour or two...

    Counseling/therapy for tween in Bandung

    Her mom was pointing her towards basketball, as her best friend has a son who is playing. My daughter likes to watch basketball, but not play. So I asked her what sports she’d like to play, and went in that direction. We’re not trying to force her do sports she doesn’t like.

    Counseling/therapy for tween in Bandung

    Well, if unchecked, even on school days she might use her ipad for 6-8 hours a day. On weekends, it could be even more. We are sticking to one hour of device time on school days, 2 hours on holidays and weekends. If behavior is bad, then we just take devices away. Her mom is certainly a...

    Counseling/therapy for tween in Bandung

    My tween has been rebelling a bit of late, especially interactions with her mom. Lack of respect for adults, and too much screen time seem to be the biggest issues. They can go from 0-100 in a short time. They love to push each other’s buttons. We are trying to limit her screen time, but it’s...

    New customs regulation, only 5kg of processed food allowed per person?

    I’ve entered Indonesia so many times in the last 20+ years. Only ever had a problem once in Medan a long time ago, when I brought some samples back from China for my US business.

    New customs regulation, only 5kg of processed food allowed per person?

    My wife just read about a new customs rule introduced this month that only allows passengers to bring in 5kg per person of processed food in their luggage. Has anyone experienced this yet? As someone who brings in many food items that aren’t available here, it would be heartbreaking for me. I...

    Regulation in regards to Domestic Helpers

    There are some real scumbags out there, taking advantage of workers. Hopefully you can get her out of the place she is in.

    Internet speed

    I’m not too sure about the bolded part. I’m pretty sure Cuba has wanted the US military gone for quite awhile.

    My US license was issued in the early 90’s, and is valid until I’m 65 years old.

    The Heart Thing

    I may need to see a cardiologist here, as I don’t think I’ll be going to the states anytime soon. Shoot me a PM with her details when you get a chance.

    Is this the new normal?

    Define young girl, please. Most type of sex change operations are only done on adults in the West. I know there used to be lots of psychological testing to be approved for it in the US. I recall the first time I ever saw detailed info on a sex change operation, likely in 1978 or 1979. I was...

    Ham Radio operation in Indonesia

    The Indonesian guy we bought our house from is a ham radio operator. He, of course, took all his antennas and such when he moved.

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

    Just to update the thread. Since we are back long term in Bandung, and it’s moderately hot in the afternoon, we decided to get a new AC unit. Pricing has certainly gone up in the last year. Ended up paying 4.2jt for a Gree unit, with installation and install kit . 1/2 pk. Can’t even hear the...

    Customs charges

    It’s always helpful to have friends who can bring stuff with them. I brought about 150 kg of stuff from the US last month. Mostly food items that aren’t available here. I had forgotten a few Mexican food items, like corn tortillas, and mentioned it to a friend here before Christmas. He had a...
