    DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.

    On tests, I would think: a broad test that may provide false negatives but definitely identifies the positives is needed for people who don't have any symptoms and/or not suspected of having the virus a specific test that may provide false positives but definitely identifies the negatives is...

    American chained up in Bali for jogging during Nyepi.

    Great! You've got one example. Maybe even 10.

    American chained up in Bali for jogging during Nyepi.

    It should bother everyone not just me or a few people. Breaking the law for personal benefits should never be "part of the community". Perhaps that's why corruption is so rampant, AND acceptable in Asia.

    American chained up in Bali for jogging during Nyepi.

    Well, to be honest, don't think about it as a tourist coming there for the week. But think of the locals who live there who don't practice the religion. If you're saying the tourists are inconvenienced and oppressed religiously for that one day, think of the locals who live there and have been...

    American chained up in Bali for jogging during Nyepi.

    It's a slippery slope You say that about a few illegal road closures, then when they close the road in front of your house, and you can't leave for emergencies, you'll just wait a few hours? I'm sure you will. Breaking the rules for personal gain.... Isn't that the description for corruptors...

    I love their logic!

    Some Chinese-Indonesian wished they had guns in May of 1998 I'd bet? But that's just my guess.

    Aceh local Gov't plans...

    Shouldn't that applies to alcohol too? Or is that in a different chapter and verse of the Quran? What about cigarettes? Aren't many people abusing them? So addicted to cigarettes that they're willing to smoke in public in front of children, babies and pregnant women without care of its effects.

    Home inspection services

    Dear all, does anyone know if there are home inspection services in Indonesia when one buys a house? I would like to ensure that the house is up to code, wiring is done properly according to Indonesian electrical code (yes they have one, called PUIL 2011 :D), etc. Thank you!

    PLN bill doubled for no feasible reason...

    You must know how much your daily energy needs are. Without it you will just get "fooled" by the contractors. When you say "batteries" they see and hear dollar signs (or pink in the case of rupiahs. You need to list ALL the appliances you will be using and how many hours per day you'll use it...

    PLN bill doubled for no feasible reason...

    power wall has batteries, that's why it has a long payback period (given that the cost of electricity is only US$0.10/kWh for the residential consumers). a grid connected solar PV system without battery should have a 6-8 year payback period.

    No More Inefficient or Intolerant Indonesia - Jokowi's New Vision

    What about the highly uneducated intolerant people? I've met way too many of them who are highly educated in all manners of worldly things. But when it comes to theological issues, they are not only intolerant but hold extreme views.

    Aceh "bans" NYE

    Is it really happening now, Dan? At this moment? My Google-fu isn't very good and I couldn't find any news. None of my team members doing projects in Aceh or friends from various NGOs living in Aceh have told me that there's systematic killings of Acehnese by Indonesian military RECENTLY...

    Indonesia to cut import duty exemption to $3 ??

    Import duty is not necessarily 7.5%? I thought it depends on the HS code of the item being imported. http://www.beacukai.go.id/btki.html

    Aceh "bans" NYE

    26 years ago. Same as what happened in 1965 to alleged members of communist party members. Same as what happened in 1998 in Jakarta and a few other places in Indonesia to the Indonesian-Chinese. As long as the Acehnese commoners are lead by its elite to not acknowledge any efforts by the...

    Aceh "bans" NYE

    Huh, when did these torture, rape, murders by the Indonesian government to Acehnese happen? In my last 9 years living in Indonesia what I've heard are the Acehnese who are doing those things. But I guess I'm just taking the news from biased websites reporting fake news : -...

    PLN bill doubled for no feasible reason...

    No there is no subsidy. But there is a new rooftop PV regulation that just came out a few months ago. Will write more if there is an interest. I wrote a policy review covering the regulation paragraph by paragraph. Will need someone to remind me if anyone is interested. I have 6 papers due by...

    60 days in Ubud, Lombok, Sumbawa?

    Maumere, Larantuka, Bajawa in Flores for me is a better bet. I wouldn't go to GIli Trawangan myself. I"m not a fan personally but Sumba has some nice rolling hills and secret beaches and waterfalls. There's Nihiwatu resort in Sumba. Rote island is nice. Southeast Sulawesi Islands such as...

    Crack the eggs and suck the eggs into plastic bottles. This is what we do when camping.
