    How long have you been away from home?

    Been here 44 years now. Came over in Sept 1974 on a two year contract and liked what I saw. Was going back to the US on annual leaves and did not take too many of those to realize that I no longer had much in common with the people back there. The last few times I was there, planned 4 weeks...

    First Media

    Yes, they are not all that good but great when it is working. Funny thing is that when their service is down, they advise via email. Great!!! Can't go online so can't get email so don't know why they send it!!!

    First Media

    Hmmm...might have been wrong there, First media is just now on again. The news said Bolt was blocked as well...guess they are on again too.

    First Media

    Wow...a real eye opener this morning. First Media shut down. How many thousands/millions (besides me) are affected. One would think that a service company with so many customers would do things right!!!

    I'm glad I don't know you personally.

    One of my pet peeves.

    I don't mind being considered an "asshole", I mean...heck it is stamped in my passport!! By the way, I don't "correct" people, just file it away as another person that is talking out of their ass.

    One of my pet peeves.

    When in Cameroon in 2007, the feds required all pilots to sit an English (sorry, Bahasa Inggris) evaluation. This is an international requirement for aviation personnel these days. Another US type and I went first and found that the evaluators were from the UK. I asked them how they could...

    One of my pet peeves.

    When I was earning my Instrument Rating in the UH-1 Huey helicopter, one of my instructor's favorite holding points was TARUS intersection. It was a very difficult place to hold and caused me lots of grief. When the training was over, I said I was going to get a dog and name him Tarus then kick...

    Your Bahasa what??? Bahasa means Language. You can speak Bahasa Belanda, Bahasa Perancis, Bahasa Inggris etc. When people walk around saying that they speak language, it is just ignorant. Here I speak Bahasa Inggris and Bahasa Indonesia.

    One of my pet peeves.

    It really bugs me to hear expats here saying that their Bahasa is good. Lots of statements on this forum are that way. "When I went to Immigration, I used Bahasa..." and so on. Just what the heck is that anyway???!!!

    What's it like in Asia?

    Puspa, fair enough but does not change the truth of the reply re Asia in general. Here is the question from the other forum: Hi y’all!! I am a European based captain with an (English) low cost airline and had enough of them and the Northern European weather ;-)!! Just being back from a nice...

    What's it like in Asia?

    Got this from a pilot forum. A guy wants to move family and relocate in Asia. I like this explanation given here: "From how you sound in your post it seems to me that you haven't been thinking about this long, otherwise most of your questions would have been answered already, i.e. "direct...

    Greetings from a former expat child

    I was flying Bell 212 helicopters with PT Derazona in support of HUFFCO exploration out of Badak Field from 1975-77. I slung-loaded the first load of equipment to the site for initiating the construction of what was to become the Guning Bakarang Estate. A funny story here: They built bachelor...

    Petrol pricing

    Total tried it here and went tits-up. Shell stations are either closed or very empty of customers. So, just what does BP think they have that will allow them to prosper??

    White Lives Matter ... finally

    I've never seen skin color prejudice, in any country I've lived/worked in, as pronounced as here in Indonesia.

    Gmail

    Well, they've "improved" the Gmail site. Man what a stupid thing it is now. Looks like something fit for grade school kids. Just what kind of people decide that these improvements will make folks happy?? Stupid.
