    The house was empty. I am now going to upgrade security and redevelop the house to be less accessible

    Burgled

    Oh well the towel I found in his 'kost'. The stuff hasn't gone very far, it's just there's so much of it here, there and everywhere. Actually there are two of them, him and his best buddy. They share a room. But they have tried to say other people might have broken in, but the thing is I am...

    Burgled

    So this is fun. Some of you may have followed the saga of my wife and her useless family (top tip: run far away from any prospective Indonesian spouse if their family does not seem to be 'pillars of the community'). Anyway, the last thing was my mother-in-law died last year. She had been...

    Posting alcohol from outside Indonesia

    The limit is 350ml. Not 300ml. 35cl is a standard size https://www.masterofmalt.com/search/#search=35cl&page=1&sort=_score&direction=desc

    Posting alcohol from outside Indonesia

    Well I've never seen it in Indonesia. Possibly you could find it in Bali/Jakarta/duty free.

    Posting alcohol from outside Indonesia

    350ml, not 300ml. Something like this https://drive.carrefour.eu/fr/Ap%C3%A9ritifs-%26-alcools/Liqueurs/Grand-Marnier-Cordon-Rouge-35-cl/p/05378168?store_ref=D0615 but you could go for whisky or some other spirit if you preferred. I think 350ml bottles are generally more expensive per/ml than...

    Posting alcohol from outside Indonesia

    I'm not really sure what point you are making here. I explained in the OP that you can send $75 worth of goods per day. At no point was I suggesting that you send $300 and declare $30 instead. I've dealt with customs a few times: if you show them the receipt where you bought the item, then...

    Posting alcohol from outside Indonesia

    This is not accurate. The relevant taxes are: Bea Masuk (import duty) - 7.5% (not 200%) of total cost including insurance/shipping for goods $75-$1500 FOB PPN - 10% on the sum of import duty + BM PPH - 10% for those with income tax number (NPWP), 20% for those without, again total cost + BM...

    Hukum Kampung

    Such law is very flexible! I was speaking to an Indonesian. He told me he had one occasion poisoned some dogs (with some sort of very deadly poison, I don't know the details, but deadly poisons you can murder people with are very readily available). I don't quite understand why, but I think he...

    Dual nationality for children born before 1st August 2006

    http://ditjenpp.kemenkumham.go.id/arsip/bn/2016/bn1938-2016.pdf According to the regulation: Article 5: 1) Applicants who claim Indonesian nationality according to Article 2(1) [Dual Nationality] are (a) Children born before 1st August 2006 with a Ministerial Decision regarding Indonesian...

    Posting alcohol from outside Indonesia

    So I read under the regulations you can apparently send a bottle of 350ml alcohol free of any import duties. http://www.pbtaxand.com/assets/uploads/files/1537848280-112_PMK_04_2018.pdf This is rather an unfortunate figure, as e.g., a half bottle of wine would be 375ml, which would be...

    Electricity prabayar

    This is not accurate https://www.expatindo.org/prepaid-electricity-indonesia/ PPN (10%) is only charged at 7700VA and higher, as per PP 81 2015. You will NOT be charged PPN if your meter is below this. Note that 6600W is three phase only, so it's 5500VA then 7700VA. Some people have two or...

    Gili Trawangan: western drug haven amid....

    This looks like Indonesian BS. I have never heard of Aceh weed outside Indonesia. Also the best strains are grown inside under strict conditions.

    Uber vs Grab vs Taxi Price Compare Southeast Asia

    That's kind of the wrong way round. $2.90 is ~95 THB. A Bangkok taxi is 35 THB for 1km plus 5.5 THB for the next 9km and then 6.5 THB and increasing after 20 km. That comes to 57 THB for 5km. However, there is a 2THB/minute fee if the taxi is moving beyond 6kph (this is quite slow compared...

    The palm oil fiefdom

    I am not convinced the people are actually impoverished by this. The local plantations are small and inefficient. They are not economically viable. Locally run businesses are corrupt and run by morons. So they sell it off to a foreign company. This provides jobs for people. As they say the...

    Woman can not adopt abandoned child because she is not of majority religion.

    The law says 'penduduk setempat'. And it's originally in the 2002 UU, not 2007. That would typically be 'Rukun Tetangga' and it's quite a small area, however of course not every RT is 100% of the same religion.

    Las Vegas Shooting

    Well she has been reported to BE in the Philippines as of now, and her name is surely Filipino rather than Indonesian.
