    It's Official! We're Coming Back

    It's official! My wife and I just bought tickets back to Indo. We're set to depart the U.S. on August 14, 2018. We had to set the date back so far because we still need to sort through our life here: sell our house, cars and stuff, get my freelance work in order to survive over there, and other...

    Being an Actor in Indonesia

    The internet has become a friend of the budding actor, as I can now audition via video to roles all over the country and around the world. There’s no need to live near the action any longer. I can just as easily send my auditions in from Indonesia as I can from Florida (where I am now) and hop...

    Being an Actor in Indonesia

    Thanks for the info! Yes, I have broken Bahasa, but I plan to be semi-fluent when we get there later this year. Definitely not expecting to be an overnight success -- I am really just looking to keep my acting muscles in shape while waiting on gigs to shake loose in the U.S.

    Mortgage in Indo

    Hey All, My wife seems to think we need to buy instead of rent. Not sure I am 100% in agreement, but I am entertaining the idea for now. One question I have is regarding qualifying for a mortgage in Indo. I am the only source of income, which will come from my U.S.-based business. Is there...

    Exit Ticket With a Visitor Visa

    That's so odd, as when I got my SosBud back in 2010, I didn't have a return or through ticket. Guess I will just grab a $68 ticket to S'pore and just no-show :).

    Exit Ticket With a Visitor Visa

    So, I am heading to Indonesia with my wife -- likely in August -- and I am looking at the application process for the Visitor Visam which I will convert to an ITAS sponsored by my wife. My question is that I see Indonesia requires an exit ticket now to get a visa, per the Embassy's website. Is...

    Being an Actor in Indonesia

    That is kind of how I figured it would be :). Thanks for the info! With that in mind, I will likely just continue acting in the U.S. from Indo. All the auditions are typically done online anyways, and a flight from CGK to LAX is only 18 hours. Just thought it may be fun to do some there too...

    Bandung for under Rp. 150 jt.

    Hey all! So, my wife and I have all but officially decided we are coming back to Indonesia in the next year, or so. We just need to purge everything and sell our house first. Life just got too hectic here, and we need a reset -- likely a permanent one :). Anywho, we are landing in Bandung...

    Being an Actor in Indonesia

    LOL considering there are almost no honest ones here, I find it hard to believe there is a shred of honesty in them over there :D.

    Being an Actor in Indonesia

    @waarmstrong Eh, I have played worse lol. I think being orang bule gila would actually be fun. :) Natural for me too :wacko:

    From the OTHER Forum

    @dafluff Ah, guess I misunderstood it. Too bad. I guess I could still stick with the post-nup and have it all in my wife's name deal :).

    You know what, I feel really dumb now. I totally didn't even think about the online homeschooling system here in the U.S. Being a Florida resident and having a permanent address here, my sons could just do their schooling through that. Thanks for opening my eyes to that option. :)

    Being an Actor in Indonesia

    Hey all! So when I was last in Indonesia, I was a writer and did that as my business while living there. While I still write, I am also into acting here in the states -- no, you probably haven't seen me, as I have only been on local things here in the Tampa, FL area and played background in...

    From the OTHER Forum

    Hey all, thanks for the warm welcomes! @Puspawarna I was frustrated in my first year, but after getting my KITAS, everything settled and I was able to actually enjoy myself in the second year. Mostly, I was excited to get back to the U.S., but once I got back into the rat race here, I realized...

    From the OTHER Forum

    Hey all, I was once a regular in the other forum. I logged in over there, as I am considering a return to Indonesia (to Bandung this time instead of Tasik) with my wife and kids, only to find out most of the people I chatted with there came here. So, I wanted to pop my head in here and say hi...
