    How do you guys invest?

    That is exactly what has been happening in Bali the last decades and it is very representative. Every time an area is ‘discovered’ and filled with new projects and developments. And then they move on and put everything on the market to free up funds. Very easy to see that from the current...

    Michael vs Michael. 🎯 What a great game.

    I’m quite sure that Herbert was talking about the players selected for the Indonesian national team when he mentioned “a few medium level footballers”. And definitely not the Dutch national team. Indonesia did not qualify. Like Italy btw, which is a former world champion The other world...

    New laws- Government control

    I did and I guess you didn’t. It’s called proof reading. Rather important if you scold someone and then make a worse mistake yourself. Like grammar or so. I don’t have any problems in someone using their home currency to make a point btw.

    Prestation is not only measured by rental prices but also by occupancy. I can ask whatever I want for a house. But if nobody buys it…

    Michael vs Michael. 🎯 What a great game.

    The cycling tour of Italy has started. The organization of the Giro d'Italia called on the riders last Sunday not to pee in empty bidons (water bottles) and then throw them away. According to the organization, this could lead to undesirable situations if spectators, including children, pick up...

    Weakening IDR

    Talking about trade and Russia: An Indonesian trade and economic delegation -which was led by the Deputy Trade Minister and the Chief Economic Minister- visited Russia very recently. After president Prabowo’s visit to pave the way of course. The meetings in Kazan concluded with several...

    Used house surprises, even 10 years later

    Btw. It’s always smart not to have too many ‘side branches’ in the pipes. And no 90° angles. Let them all come to a collection box that has a bigger pipe to the sewer. It facilitates the cleaning, esp. with the flexible metal crawler and -my personal favorite- the ‘bicycle pump’ system that...

    Weakening IDR

    That’s the trade balance. Not for nothing Trump and his billionaire friends visited Beijing. They probably got some results as well; Boeing etc.

    Used house surprises, even 10 years later

    Well Harry, as so often here it is choosing between the pest and cholera. That deblocker reacts with the dirt/grease/… in the pipe and literally starts boiling. Extreme temperatures so if you rinse it fast or it falls down it could be okay. But if you’re too late…

    Soda api would resolve and remove the blockages but could also destroy the pvc pipes.

    Weakening IDR

    A high-valued currency might give US citizens more purchasing power for imports, but it does not automatically mean the domestic economy is healthier than a country with a lower-valued currency. And if we consider that inflation, interest rates, account deficits, trade balances and public debt...

    Global Citizenship Indonesia

    I hope for you it’s just an internet issue that can be resolved by using a different browser or so. Because otherwise…. Gila

    Used house surprises, even 10 years later

    The PVC piping is always risky here. Direct sunlight will break down the structural integrity of the plastic. The same for the use of chemicals and temperature fluctuations. Over here they often use the thin version and glue to connect pipes (instead of manchet/sleeve). Cost cutting and ease of...

    Shortage of 498,000 teachers in Indonesia next year?

    Don’t forget that FB has practically been the death blow for forums like this one. The Historical, Automotive, Watch, Timber work, Embroiding, Skiing, …. just to name a few forums and websites have practically all become obsolete. Just start a free FB group. And if you want to sell or explain...

    How do you guys invest?

    Never believe all these success stories on IG and YouTube etc. Same with all these “We bought a chateau in France for €300K” series. The renovation is millions, they get subsidized, get sponsored by suppliers like crazy and get paid by your YouTube views and likes. In places like Sanur and...
