I get VIP tickets because I'm a very important person, but the ordinaries can buy tickets at a very reasonable price :D https://artjakarta.com/ 30 August for VIPs, then two days for the unwashed masses.
I don't really much care about forum rep points, good or bad, I just say it as I see it and leave others to decide what they think of a post. If they like it, fine. If they don't like it, they can either ignore it or, as long as the post is reasonable, structured, and well argued, they can expres...
There's only one thing worse than Jazz, and that's French Jazz. Middle of the night - I'd throw a boot at the musicians on the assumption they were tomcats singing for sex. If I may be so bold as to offer you an education
Living those stereotypical midwest American life in England it seems. OMG NOOOO! Real beer, not horse wee wee, and proper bikes, not HD junk. Also, English biker chicks are far easier to get into bed and they do dirtier stuff. English biker chicks are the sluttiest in the world. :D
I used to be a greasy biker with long hair, a bad attitude to anything conventional, drank strong beer, and did really naughty things with biker chicks. Chaos is my middle name. ;)
My work, assuming it carries on, takes me all over Java so I use my own vehicle both for convenience and cost considerations. Site visits that were costing several million are down to an average of less than 1 million each. I see no advantage in wasting money, even if the company wouldn't blink i...
I wanted out of the big cities but needed somewhere with a good school for the kids. Bandung was on the list, but the traffic is still murder and that's something I wanted to avoid.
England has the best Indian curry in the world, much as that sounds strange. Indian immigrants picked up on an idea of anglicizing their food, serving it up with only chicken breast and mixing in new ideas. You ahve to try it to believe how great it is. Malaysia has some really nice Indian food, ...
I used to live in Bintaro, but I moved to a place with fewer traffic jams and somewhere house prices weren't quite so inflated. I rent this place for 18 juta/year, a price you can about get a tin roofed shack for in Bintaro, but we have 4 bedrooms, a maids room, and it's big. It's also quiet but ...
Not a lot. I have a load of work to do so I suppose I'll end up in my office most of the day, but maybe go to a mall or something - and I could use a haircut (I look like a hippy). I had a pretty wonderful curry last night, one of the packet mixes we picked up in Malaysia. I bought a few but, jus...
One that is a pain in the bottom for travellers, and pointless in every possible way save one. However, since the trip via Bandung was very likely a one off test to see if it was better than Jakarta, the new one, or Semarang, I suppose it's not that important to me. Jakarta would have been the ea...
I wasn't impressed to find out Blue bird taxis and Go car are banned from picking up at the airport so you either have to walk to the main road (bad news with a family and cases), or get a Grab that are allowed to pick up. Their driver quoted me a larger than acceptable price so we walked to wher...
I've only been to Bandung three times, the first for something I didn't want to do, the second for work but I had a free day at the end, the third just for the airport (it makes 4 times if you count going for a take off, then returning after landing). I didn't get much chance to explore the first...
I mean no disrespect but it’s really an irony to see lots of foreigners sit in the vastly strategic position in some huge companies in Indonesia. It isn't a matter or disrespect, it's a demonstration Indonesia needs a better education system. All countries use foreign talent, and that's fine fo...
No McD for me this morning but I might very well pop to the end of the road where a dude with a cart sells very nice chicken porridge. No wifi, but the food won't give me a heart attack. English is essential to Indonesia's future and government education policy now is deciding how Indonesia will ...
