    Adding a single room AC to your house. Reliable unit/pricing?

    You are totally correct, sir. However in this case the wiring seems to be able to handle the load (50% of the time, when the MCB doesn't ngetrip). Still, yes better check the type of wiring first.

    Adding a single room AC to your house. Reliable unit/pricing?

    Just change the breaker then. Just buy a 10A Schneider at Tokopedia and swap it yourself, pretty easy task. Or let your daughter do it, it looks like she's got strong enough hands for a 12 y/o. Dirty filters will render the a/c unit less efficient and thus more expensive to operate. Our 10+...

    Adding a single room AC to your house. Reliable unit/pricing?

    Half a year ago we bought a ½pk Panasonic for Rp3,7jt, including pasang. Indonesian made, though imported ones from China are also available at our brick and mortar shop for around Rp500k less. I can't say much about it except that it works properly. Not very quiet but not noisy either. About...

    Visit Visa convert into a business visa?Need honest advice.

    A muslim country and an islamic state are clearly two different things. Indonesia fits the description of a muslim country. However it is not -like you mentioned- an islamic state.

    Thousands of Indonesian Students become Singaporean Citizen. Is it a brain drain ??

    It feels as if this is not the whole story. These migrants (university students) are spending billions and billions of Dollars in Australia and when their courses are finished, most of them leave the country again. Around 20% decide to stay, but these are young and highly educated people. Are...

    Retiring to Bali with my Harley

    A while ago I stumbled upon this gem: International technical guidance on sexuality education (.pdf). An effort of the UN, through UNESCO, to educate underdeveloped countries like Indonesia about how to teach their kids about sex. It's from 2018 so it's a bit outdated given the topic is so...

    Retiring to Bali with my Harley

    Poland let quite a few Ukrainian refugees in, almost a million. They are just a bit picky about what refugees are welcome and which ones aren't. But the Brits aren't refugees. And since they left the EU, they will need a work and/or residency permit if they would want to migrate to Poland.

    Retiring to Bali with my Harley

    Well, if diversity is our strength, welcome to the forum then? I've been following the things that have been going on in the UK a little and I think I can understand why some people would want to leave. Some have mentioned Poland as an option to migrate to. Well, let's see how many will...

    MERP refresher, share your experience

    If one has to 'mutasi MERP' to the new passport, then you'd expect that the Kitas/Kitap stamp/sticker should also be 'dimutasi'? Just like you, my immigration office is not around the corner so I am in no mood to do this. And I don't believe I have ever done this in the past.

    MERP refresher, share your experience

    The last time I went back to visit my parents, I applied for a new passport there because the old one with a MERP in it was about to expire. When I picked up my new passport they made some holes in the old one, just like they usually do. Upon arriving at Soekarno Hatta I handed over both...

    Punishment for women who don't want to wear jilbab

    Why should you be allowed to only mention the things about Islam that you see as negative while he is not allowed to say the things he thinks are positive? Since you haven't read all this either, why are you allowed to speak your mind about Islam and he isn't? Why do you talk to him as if he...

    Aviation info.

    2 whistleblowers died recently, one suicide and one from a fast spreading infection. In the meantime, 32.000 workers for Boeing got a 1% salary increase in the last 8 years while the CEO got a 45% increase last year and makes 33 million a year. At least someone is living The Dream.

Like this Yong Ma below: In some countries the sale of raw milk is strictly prohibited and this is enforced by federal...
