    SKTT is a must for expats

    Ah, I see ... macet. But then that would technically mean he's NOT "driving" ... eh? Good for him, Indonesia's roads are unsafe enough without P/T&D.

    SKTT is a must for expats

    Wouldn't it be preferable if you weren't posting on a forum while driving?

    Correct Terminology for household staff?

    My wife sometimes calls the man who puts the trash out, changes lightbulbs and does other small jobs around the house "sayangku" or "suomiku". I also generally refer to the woman who cooks our meals and washes clothes in our household as "sayang", "isteri" or "bini" (Banjarnese). I am not sure...

    The Cage is now open! Please, register here for access.

    Bingo, you got it. Actually saying I want to (j--n) something makes me feel like Fonzy from Happy Days (not generally, just in this way), when he had to admit that he was "wr-wr-wr-wrong". Also, any club, society or conglomeration which would be willing to invite or accept myself as a member...

    Okay. As much as it pains me to actually use the "J-word", it can't hurt to have a look in. "I would like to join The Cage."

    New Education Minister

    Yep. RIP, half-baked plan. It could conceivably "work" in some schools, but certainly not in all (and being able to technically "work" would not in itself make it a good idea).

    "I like to look at Betty Page" "I want to eat lollies in a rage" "I think Scooby Doo is a sage" "O'Toole imbibed and fell off of the stage" "I can't see you when you're wearing camouflage" ... sorry, it just doesn't seem to be coming out right now. I'll try back later (maybe).

    New Education Minister

    Seems like typical Indonesian government oversight, especially in education. One step forward, two steps back; one jump to the left, two jumps to the right; followed by a lot of head-scratching over why not much progress is being made, another change of the guard, and repeat steps 1-6.

    Interview questions when applying for ITAS as spouse of Indonesian

    Quite reasonable, I think. Funny, I think it's probably the other way around for me ... when listening, I can make out some of the words and sometimes enough to grasp the general vein of the conversation or specific bits, but I generally tend to get lost because I can't process as fast as...

    Free VOA eligible airports and harbors

    Maybe combine this thread with the one about "free VOA countries" (also posted by Jaime) and make it a sticky?

    Interview questions when applying for ITAS as spouse of Indonesian

    Thank you for posting this, I'm sure it will be quite helpful for many. Just to clarify - though it seems pretty clear from what I have bolded above - the WNI spouse is allowed to be present together with the foreign spouse at the interview? And is the Indonesian spouse also allowed to...

    How To Secure A job As A Teacher In Indonesia

    Based on the "question", Misna, (may I call you Misna?) MiNa?) I'd guess we are thinking the facts mentioned refer to you, specifically. Correct? You are no longer WNI? If not, then the same standard will apply as to any other foreign teacher / applicant / wannabe. As far as meeting "native...

    US Presidential Election - What's your take?

    Good article from the Boston Globe. It outlines how even if Trump loses, the yokels / rednecks / bogans / hillbillies, whatever you want to call them, who seem to form the core of his "base" have been emboldened and feel "validated" by having heard their own fears, prejudices, bitter resentments...
