    Looking for a good Indonesian girl.

    You sparked my interest and this is what I found. Let me know what bit you were talking about:

    Goodbye Bali

    It always amazed me what attracted people to Winnie the Pooh. I liked a lot of Disney as a child, but Winnie and his henchmen? A strange group of friends. I only recently learned that it was actually a group of psychiatric patients. Winnie with his eating disorder, a depressed donkey, a piglet...

    My Comparison of The 2 Largest Shopping Sites

    Sellers are not obliged to fulfill orders on tanggal merahs and during weekends. However, they are free to do so and many send out orders 7 days a week.

    My Comparison of The 2 Largest Shopping Sites

    See post #24, 2nd catatan: Saturdays, Sundays, national holidays and non-operational delivery services are not included in the packaging period. This also counts for Tokopedia. The couriers that do the delivery have their own kebijaksanaans and working days.

    My Comparison of The 2 Largest Shopping Sites

    Good news for shopee customers. There will be new rules for sellers that should speed up the shipping process. If an order is placed before 12 noon, it must be shipped the same day. Orders received after 12:00 must be shipped the next working day.

    My Comparison of The 2 Largest Shopping Sites

    No, the seller doesn't have to pay any ongkir apart from the 4% of his sale. This is why you often get free ongkir above Rp20rb, Rp50rb or more. The 4% of the sale must be at least worth something.

    My Comparison of The 2 Largest Shopping Sites

    The ship by date is 2 working days, the seller gets an extra day to prepare your order if it falls on a Saturday, Sunday or tanggal merah. He wins another day if he requests the order to be picked up in the afternoon; he knows the courier will not be coming to pick up until the next day. The...

    My Comparison of The 2 Largest Shopping Sites

    If you've ever wondered where the free ongkir comes from... For instance at Tokopedia, the seller pays 2,4% of the sales to Tokped by default. If he chooses to activate free shipping, he pays another 4%. Extra Ongkir Plus adds x%. Similar to Shopee where the seller pays Shopee 6% on orders sold...

    My Comparison of The 2 Largest Shopping Sites

    I have been using both the Shopee and Tokopedia platform as a seller for a couple of years now. When I signed up in 2018, I didn't need to show any proof of ID, only phonenumber and email address. I don't know if things have changed but it made things pretty easy (and if you want, anonymous)...

    What is the reality of having helpers in Indonesian households?

    In Europe farmers are increasingly being taxed and over regulated due to their part in 'environmental pollution'. The excess of nitrogen that is deposited near farms acts as a fertilizer and causes some plants to overgrow others, hereby altering 'natural environments'. The horror. No wonder...

    Coconuts newsletter

    That is about the price of a 1 year old (limousine) cow. But then...what are you going to do with a whole cow? Maybe this.

    Coconuts newsletter

    I wonder where I have seen this before, people not wanting to learn the language of the country they choose to reside in and publicly showing their disdain for the local culture . Oh yeah, I remember. Back home.

    Wonders and curiosities

    20 years ago there was already a long waiting list for social housing in my city. At the time, 7 years was the minimum to have a decent chance of getting something you didn't actually want. And only after 15 years did you have quite a bit of choice. How can you as a young couple start a family...

    A problem with a healthcare insurance company

    Don't do it. If you start paying, they will try it again on you whenever you need them and also on other bules. They must be under another department, Menkanham or whatever. Just play dumb, don't pay, and tell them you want to find a solution for the 'blocked-problem' there. And, when you go...

    Are you effected by the Flood in Jakarta Today

    Maybe there is a way to fix it but it's just too expensive (which means that there is no way to fix it). From the same article above:

    Are you effected by the Flood in Jakarta Today

    I don't think there are any other feasible options. Simply adding more channels, is there any space for them? Under the streets, yes but that will be a megaproject noone wants to burn his fingers on. And for how long will these channels function, since Jakarta is sinking: It's easy to blame...
