    Gynecologist in Bandung?

    Those were my exact thoughts lol. I figured a thread would be beneficial for others though. All I could find was an old thread in LIIF, but mostly good gynos for married people, and we all know how unprofessional the docs here can be with sensitive subjects.

    Lol I wouldn't be surprised. For the record, I never gave vocalneal any negative ratings, but I received one when I didn't find his racism funny.

    Gynecologist in Bandung?

    Asking for a friend. Of course she's looking for a knowledgeable doctor. But her main concern is a doctor who won't make her feel judged or uncomfortable regarding things like sex before marriage. Any recommendations?

    So I Found Out I'm Part Malay...

    Some of those tests will check for the CCR5 Delta 32 mutation (I believe 23 and Me does). If you have one copy in your DNA, HIV infection would have little effect on you, making you either a "long-term nonprogressor" or "elite controller" if you became infected with the virus. If you have 2...

    Still no sympathy for Indonesian taxis

    I don't feel like I'm being ripped off all the time here in Indonesia. Usually the "bule tax" is fairly mild in my experience. Like if I pay 15k for some goreng du jour instead of 12k. No biggie for me. Other SE Asian countries I traveled through were way worse. But come on, I can't be giving...

    Still no sympathy for Indonesian taxis

    Interesting. I was just in Jakarta and used Grab without issue, though not in North Jakarta. I'm curious what kind of "manipulations and ethical code violations" those drivers are suspected of. Maybe this means Grab are actually holding their drivers accountable, unlike the taxi I rode in today..

    Still no sympathy for Indonesian taxis

    I rarely use taxis these days because I have my own motorbike. When I'm out of town I usually use Gojek, Grab, or Uber, usually airport arrivals being the one exception. Today I used a normal taxi for the first time in a while, and was reminded why they suck so bad. Dude took a wrong turn...

    AirAsia world's best low-cost airline for 9th consecutive year.

    That's really odd about your experience with Lion Air! They're still a budget airline, so I guess I'm not totally surprised. Personally, I would pay a bit more (within reason) just to avoid the AirAsia sales team, I mean flight attendants, trying to sell me dumb souvenirs. What's really great...

    AirAsia world's best low-cost airline for 9th consecutive year.

    How on earth is AirAsia a 3 star airline? They won't even give me water unless I pay extra. I'm awkwardly tall for their standard seats and they wouldn't let me switch to one of the many empty emergency exit seats during the flight -- "Sorry sir, those seats are for people who paid to sit...

    Opening Bca Checking Account

    Hopefully things went smoothly for you at Maybank! I can't tell you how many hoops I've jumped through just to find out that it wasn't necessary. We feel your would-be pain! In the moment, it was simpler for that person to tell you that only BCA would work. I know that local people have similar...

    Wet Shaving in Indonesia

    An entertaining read. As a side note, today was my first time visiting the old forum in quite a long while. I got a kick out of seeing that the mods, who made LIIF possible, are still banned! I almost forgot all about the ridiculous events that led us to our new home here. Anyway, good eye.

    Wet Shaving in Indonesia

    I think there's some confusion about the topic of this thread. Usually, the term "wet shaving" refers to traditional shaving using a straight razor, single edge, or a double edge safety razor, and it also usually involves lathering with a shaving brush. If you don't know what I'm talking about...

    My wife was mad because she says I never lift a finger to help around the house. So I lifted a finger... Apparently it was the wrong one.

    Wet Shaving in Indonesia

    So far I've only used Proraso Green (eucalyptus and menthol) in the tub and Tabac in the tube, as those were recommended to me as a beginner. Both lather up really well. I'd be interested to try Proraso White and see what all this hype is about. Ultimately I want to find some more natural...

    Wet Shaving in Indonesia

    I'll keep that in mind. It might also be worth revisiting now with more experience. And of course, everything including blade choice is personal preference and varies for everyone. I've heard people's blade preference will also change with time and with different razors. What soaps or creams...

    Import duty exemption now at US $100

    Received my package and thankfully no additional customs fees! Just 20k for Pos Indonesia. It was a fairly discreet and smallish package, and the retailer didn't include any receipt to give away the value of the goods inside. I think those things worked in my favor, and perhaps the seller I...
