    Northern France, advice

    The tapestry is currently on loan to the British museum in London, and the French may even get it back one day.

    Unlimited KITAP

    Nothing says confidence in the validity of your own religion better than saying that if anybody leaves it they will be put to death. I don't think even Scientology goes that far.

    Totally agree, it makes about as much sense as saying that Manchester United supporters can only get married to other Manchester United supporters.

    There is a Western concept of 'substance over form' - you find out the substance of a particular transaction or action not just look at its legal form. However Indonesian society is based on 'form over substance'. No one cares what the underlying reality is, it is how it looks that is...

    Shortage of 498,000 teachers in Indonesia next year?

    They are not learning Arabic to be able to speak to Arabic people, they are learning it to be able to say the prayers. I assume they say the prayers in a strong Indonesian accent, so God might not be able to understand them anyway, unless he is using some form of Google translate. Listening to...

    Last time I went to Bali was before COVID, and I have less than zero interest in ever going back there. Even though Jakarta has the ongoing problem with mosque loudspeakers, it is still far more pleasant to live in than Bali.

    Michael vs Michael. 🎯 What a great game.

    Exactly, they can't play for the Dutch team since they are now Indonesians not Dutch.

    Should work & school be suspended tomorrow?

    It's fine because 'people in the villages don't use dollars' :ROFLMAO:

    Weakening IDR

    Just reached 17,600. Interesting comment that 'US dollars are not used in the villages' so the exchange rate is not important to most people :ROFLMAO: https://en.tempo.co/read/2104047/prabowo-criticized-over-weak-rupiah-remarks

    Shortage of 498,000 teachers in Indonesia next year?

    I left Facebook in 2009, but I heard there are not many people left on it now so I'm not sure how it would be useful as an expat forum.

    Shortage of 498,000 teachers in Indonesia next year?

    I want to help them improve to make the country better in the future. Don't you think it is a worthwhile aim to try and help a country improve on its weaknesses? How can this country ever become developed with an education system like this, and with people who completely ignore regulations on...

    Shortage of 498,000 teachers in Indonesia next year?

    How often? Every single day for over 12 years. Not just the family but extended family, guests, going to other people's and extended family's houses etc. Never once seen any of them read a book. But that one particular book, every single day. My theory is they are still trying to work out what...

    Shortage of 498,000 teachers in Indonesia next year?

    I realized the other day that I have never actually seen an adult Muslim read a book, except the one book in a language they barely understand, which they seem to 'read' every day. Reading for pleasure is just not part of the culture. I'm sure this is a reflection of how poor the education...

    I'm still convinced that you are just a bot producing chat GPT posts. And not even a very good bot, since the poster clearly said he wanted to buy another house not a first house and then you give him advice about getting a mortgage for a first house. Try writing a response without using AI...
