Waste Management in Indonesia
You had written 'when you go to the market your purchases come in plastic bags, even small things'. That isn't so, and you writing a thousand word essay that misses the point doesn't make it so. It's been years since I got a plastic bag with a purchase in Jakarta, hence my 'no plastic bags in...- Bob

Waste Management in Indonesia
No, not right. No plastic bags in Jakarta. People use and reuse cloth bags, as people anywhere can. People aren't going to riot over the cost of plastic or green biodegradable or paper or cloth bags. It's silly to think they will. You're right that disposal of bags, and other trash, should be...- Bob

Flying with Trasnusa or Super Air jet
Your confusion is confirmed. That's not me. If you'll notice, I started posting well before he left. Lion's huge market share and operational missteps would explain why people complained more about them. There's probably no conspiracy or need for one. Other than price and comfort, the...- Bob

Flying with Trasnusa or Super Air jet
I think you have me confused with someone else. That post wasn't intended to be bitter and I'm considered pretty easy to get along with. I recall making maybe one or two posts in Davita's aviation thread and don't recall interacting with you there. I also don't recall the comparison with...- Bob

Some may want to look at which airline if they're concerned with the chance of delay or comparative maintenance quality.- Bob

Alcohol (from beverages) Is Toxic
It’s interesting how many French people will express extreme disgust with durian while eating powerful smelly cheese. Both can be good 👍🏻.- Bob

Flying with Trasnusa or Super Air jet
Acquaintances say TransNusa and Super Air Jet aren't bad to fly. It sounds like there are fewer delays on TransNusa. Just FYI Super Air Jet is a newer Lion /Batik /Wings brand while TransNusa was relaunched a few years ago with Chinese backing and a fleet of A320/1's and ARJ21's. The Airbus...- Bob

EV in Indonesia
Oil and gas extraction is far less destructive to the land, fresh water, and marine resources than surface mining and ore processing as practiced in Indonesia. Have a look at how nickel mining and smelting has blessed the environment in Halmahera and Sulawesi and what coal and tin mining has...- Bob

Palestinians Under Full Blockade
I don’t think there’s a real question of whether huge atrocities were committed by the Nazis and their lackies. It’s so well studied and documented the history and details of it are easy to find. Which makes so many people’s and especially politicians’ ignoring and denying what’s happening in...- Bob

Foreign visitors MUST be accompanied by licensed local tour guides
Yes that money could well be used for other pressing needs like trash disposal and sewage treatment. Ideally a waste disposal solution that doesn’t involve chucking it into the sea can be implemented.- Bob

Indonesia set to introduce strict new law banning sex outside of marriage
The point is that his story isn't an example of how the law against sex outside of marriage has been enforced, since the law didn't exist when it took place. Are there any examples that happened after the law took effect?- Bob

Indonesians Human trafficking in Myanmar ? Is it true ??
It certainly looked like you were downplaying the problem when you wrote "How often do you actually see school children going hungry in Indonesia?". Hunger and malnutrition go hand in hand, no? There may be a couple of folks here who have a good idea of local intelligence agencies' capabilities...- Bob
