Roof drain is flooding inside our kitchen everytime there is heavy rain.
It's poverty. Maybe there are more than 4 people in the family and they need bigger/more rooms. Combine that with small budget, they do what they think is (momentarily) acceptable in a hope they can renovate it in the future. Poor quality on cement mixture of building structure & wall and no...- merahputih

Considering getting a place in Lombok
If your wife want to buy a land, she will be asked by notary if she is an Indonesian passport holder, and if you have a pre-nup. If you don't, I don't think you can proceed to buy. Without pre-nup you and your wife share ownership of everything you have after your wedding date. This is related...- merahputih

Quality of Healthcare and Physicians
Many adults go to the doctor for common cold to get surat keterangan sakit. They need to show that a doctor has verified that they are really sick and not make it up. On the other hand, many people will work anyway even if they are sick. Many business owner won't pay workers for sick leave...- merahputih

I use temulawak in drinks only. Like harryopal1, I add honey. It's one of common jamu recipe. I use turmeric both in drinks and cooking. May be you can start with 1 finger joint fresh turmeric or 1/2 teaspoonful (flat) turmeric powder for 1 portion, Shadrach? For your next cooking experiment...- merahputih

You're right. I thought he used candle nut too in his recipe, which we usually do. Slower video: I never eat it like macadamia or hazelnut. I don't think any Indonesian do that 😄. So I guess, just for thickener.- merahputih

Today's menu:
Crushed fine with mortar & pestle or food processor to make batter thicker/creamy in sauce, curry paste, sambal. It's called that way because of its waxy character. An example: Ignore the drinks, it sponsors the video but has nothing to do with the recipe at all.- merahputih

Permit of construction/IMB
If demand of house/building is high in that area, or she can sell it quickly, than it is an advantage to build & sell. Land price goes mostly higher but the building itself can quickly devalue. It's something to consider.- merahputih

The future and the role of Artificial intelligence.
Soon or later. Maybe not the biggest bos though. Company wants to win, at all times 24/7 if it's possible. Imagine (AI) boss/manager that is always there, never be sick, has no bias whether you are attractive or not, whether the employee is family related to him/her or not, can think the best...- merahputih

House Construction Questions
I never heard of IMB sementara. Do you mean, you have IMB but you haven't started the construction yet? In that case, when the period ends, the current IMB is not valid anymore and you have to apply again. Building permit is now called PBG (peraturan bangunan gedung).- merahputih

The first private media company for tv (I think) is RCTI. First launched in 1989. Before, we have TVRI only, government managed tv channel. There were Little House in The Prairie or Bonanza but you can google what kind of most programs what TVRI had back then 😄. When RCTI came, it was a...- merahputih

Wonders and curiosities
I reply your question here. It's cultural thing. In general in Asia, people are reluctant to grow old (or grow up 😅). We embrace the youth periode and want to keep being young regardless some genetic advantage. Aside from language influence, that's why women use high pitch voice. Teenagers and...- merahputih

If your fiancé convert to your religion, it can be asked with the reason "istri ikut suami" - which is quite reasonable and acceptable in Indonesia.

Financial matter aside, vegetable oil is to fry, other type oils are beter for salad/cold dishes. Indonesian fries stuff a lot. Indonesian salad use mostly sauces that don't need oil and not everybody is open to taste of different kind of oils. I have flax seed oil due to my curiousness. It's a...- merahputih
