    Bringing in Aussie meat

    I’ve taken perishable items in luggage up to 30 hours before. Usually butter, cheese, cooked ham. Often will freeze the items, and put in a refrigerated bag. I originally put cold freeze packs inside, but just found the frozen items worked better, and let me bring more stuff.

    Bringing in Aussie meat

    We rarely bring any alcohol in. In fact the last bottle we brought in 2020 or 2021 hasn’t even been opened.

    In search of a wheelchair

    I think Tokopedia has them. We bought a couple new ones for my FIL after he had his brain aneurism. We are holding into them, as we have a fair amount of older relatives. Already loaned one out for one of them recently, until she recovered from a fall.

    Criteria to apply for KITAP from KITAS

    The lifetime KITAP was 10 or 11 juta when I got it 5 years ago. Just did a renewal, which was a bit of a PITA, and paid 8 juta more for the lifetime MERP.

    I’m sure there are some expats there, but not like Bali, Bandung or Jakarta.

    Create a company

    People ask questions on free groups, and then want to limit reasonable responses like they’re paying you $1000 an hour. Veruca Salt type attitude.

    New Electronic Indonesian Passport, no physical visa needed for travel to Japan?

    I recall the first time my wife and I entered Australia together. I on my US passport, she on an Australian visitors visa. At the airport in Sydney, I had gone first through the hand baggage screening, with most of the hand carry luggage, as she was pregnant. As I clear the station, and start...

    New Electronic Indonesian Passport, no physical visa needed for travel to Japan?

    My wife and daughter just got back from Tokyo. No problems with her online Japanese visa. Much quicker than entering Indinesia! Had to do the online Indonesia form for re-entering at CGK, but relatively easy

    The Bartering Monkeys of Bali

    Oh, it’s not just the adults. I had some “teen” monkeys grab my eyeglasses, and toss them over the wall at Uluwatu. We were repeatedly warned, but I was holding onto them most of the time. Bule 0, Monyet 1. I get the feeling that the monkey guys are training them.

    Have an electrician check it out. Or if going out of town, can you turn the meter off?

    anyone in Jakarta from Canada?

    I think I’m pretending to be Canadian instead of American, these days. Do I have to memorize the words to Oh Canada? If you’re a new arrival to Indonesia, what brought you here?

    Roof drain is flooding inside our kitchen everytime there is heavy rain.

    Here‘s a final picture of when the project is done. Final cost 2.5 juta for labor, 2.5 juta for supplies. Including some tiles replaced, too. 3 days of labor, usually 2 guys working, and another guy supervising.
