    Trivago

    Hotels and booking platforms, that's my thing ! Trivago started in Germany with the same business model as Trip Advisor : listing and comparing hotels and their prices, from the reviews of guests, and rates displayed on websites or booking platforms. As others, they have moved on the booking...

    Traffic Ticket

    This is not really brave, neither honest. The question is not what can happen to you, but what will happen to the rental company. You make a mistake, just pay for it and next time don't forget to put your helmet on !

    No More Inefficient or Intolerant Indonesia - Jokowi's New Vision

    Oh My ! What a beautiful statement that is, thank you for sharing the link ! With 15 years in remote Indonesia I can witness that the changes brought after Jokowi's first election are extremely significant, be it in terms of infrastructures (OK we were starting from very low) or drastic...

    how to support a family with some peace of mind?

    Sure Jstar It was more a personal thinking that one should not necessarily feel guilty or ridiculous for having such questionings, I was not suggesting anyone thought it was ridiculous. I think we are here to share our various experiences, they can be relevant or anecdotic... As it happens I...

    how to support a family with some peace of mind?

    Things also depend on which region your wife is originated. In West Sumatra for instance this is Minangkabau (matrilineal) and no matter what your marital contract says at your point of origin, here whatever you build, finance or produce is hers entirely. So the type of concern you are having is...

    Legalising old Indonesian birth document - any advice needed

    Hi, Another few insights : There was no catatan sipil in Pekanbaru 58 years ago, so the existing office will not help you the slightest. As much as the Tingkat II is a layer of Indonesian administration that does not exist anymore. By the experience I get from local villagers who have been...
