    Looks like I may be moving to Jakarta

    In that case, have you considered the Tangerang Selatan area, more specifically BSD (where Unilever is located)? It's a lot better lifestyle than in the city, easier to get to the airport and basically everything you could ask for. I've been living in that area for 14 years now, so I know it...

    Manners in Bali

    Boleh minta or boleh saya minta, literally translates to May I request, and it's very polite. I use it all the time.

    Looks like I may be moving to Jakarta

    Do you have a rough idea of who your clients will be? Start by checking where they are located. If they are industrial types and you will visit factories, etc, it will be outside the city, so then it doesn't factor all that much. Then it depends also on your budget. Prices for apartments vary...

    Now, you need to do transaction more often on your Indonesian Bank AC

    it's very simple, he shorted bank stock 🤣

    No back-seat modding, thanks. Post is on topic (this is not an invitation to debate with me).

    Now, you need to do transaction more often on your Indonesian Bank AC

    I think it's mostly due to this: What a bunch of wankers.

    Mobil Rakyat...new cars

    I bought a C3 Aircross last year. I was concerned about thr timing belt issue on the puretech engines, so I researched it quite a bit. Thankfully, they have changed the design and now use a timing chain rather than belt which will not degrade in the engine oil. So far I am very happy with it...

    It's already happening, the US tariff on Indonesia is 32%, one of the highest one

    Not convinced of the positive effects. This is essentially a tax on US businesses and consumers. Either prices stay the same and business performance decreases, or prices increase and consumer purchasing power decreases. None of this is good for the US Economy in my opinion, but we'll see, I'm...

    STEAM games for decent price

    Thank you for the clarification. It's reassuring that it didn't come from a bad seller on Shopee, but very sorry to hear you child fell victim of a phishing scam. But how did it come to 200jt loss? Was that in skin values?

    A miracle indeed, he did not just survive, he walked off to the ambulance on his own! Absolutely mind blowing.

    STEAM games for decent price

    Wait, wait, wait, that's insane! Did you make a report to shopee, the police, etc? I'm curious to know what happened next.

    Hello. What are some things I should know before coming to Jakarta?

    A pastrami sandwich or two is enough to buy my silence, just saying...

    They are cracking down the Investor Visa (?)

    Indeed, this has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

    They are cracking down the Investor Visa (?)

    So an investor KITAS is a stay permit for investors, meaning shareholders in a PT PMA. Unscrupulous visa agents are creating empty PT PMA, which are companies that only exist on paper but do not comply with the minimum capital requirements of IDR10Bn paid-up capital. Then they add these...

    They are cracking down the Investor Visa (?)

    They did a razia a couple years ago in both Bali and Jakarta. A good thing, if you ask me.

    Mobil Rakyat...new cars

    Ah memories! I used to live just around the corner, at rue Lauriston, so I took this round-about many times! I have to say that now that I live in Indonesia, indeed this is no big deal, but back in the day it always got my heart pumping a bit! The main issue being that all roundabouts in France...

    It's already happening, the US tariff on Indonesia is 32%, one of the highest one

    Where have I said such thing? But if we're going down that road, no I don't think it should. I also don't think blanket tariffs are the answer, and that appears to be the vast majority consensus in the rest of the world. I mean, if the US is so uncompetitive for domestic production that many...

    It's already happening, the US tariff on Indonesia is 32%, one of the highest one

    Or not. What is the point for a country like Madagascar to negotiate? To achieve what exactly? Even with 0 tariffs on US imports into Madagascar, the trade balance would not shift significantly. Not even close. Malagasy will not have more purchasing power for US goods, nor is the economy strong...

    It's already happening, the US tariff on Indonesia is 32%, one of the highest one

    It's astounding the number of people (and this thread is a good representation of the phenomenon) who just took the list of Tariffs imposed on the US by other countries from the Trump team, as face value. Even when the calculation is put in your face, you still don't understand. Trade deficit...
