Hmm... Sunday on the 4th. Don't know if I can come to this gathering. I'll be picking up my mom at the airport in Surabaya on Friday night (May 2nd). I haven't seen her since since I left the US 4 years ago so I may be spending time with her before she leaves for Banyuwangi after a short visit to...

Hey guys! How's it going? I've been busy with college work which is why I haven't been on lately. It's midterms week and I don't expect to work on any more college papers this semester so I've got more free time. I'm planning to sign up for PKL (praktek kerja lapangan) for the summer semester, but
yes, i will keep that in mind i agree, practice is really the best way to learn:Peace: by the way, why is it become quiet in here ? :bingungs where's everyone ? A new semester has just started for me. I've already promised myself that I would improve my work habits from previous semesters and
Yea, they really need to add more buses if they want to promote TransJakarta. I think Jakarta's biggest issue, besides corrupt/inefficient bureaucracy, is infrastructure. Everyone is dependent on good infrastructure when they live in such a large and crowded city.
Legalizing Marijuana ? :o 'murica ? which state is that again ? :D What can we do with the upcoming presidential election, OS pls :o Colorado recently joined Washington in legalizing marijuana, albeit with heavy regulations. As for upcoming presidential election, I'd like a discussion on that
@Astraios: Well said. I understand your frustration about having threads filled with whining and complaining. Sometimes it does relieve stress to just let it out, but most of the time it's hard to justify.
Hmm, didn't know there was an English debate already. The most hotly debated topics are usually religious/philosophical which I'm not interested in. I'm glad there's an index thread in DC which made it easier to find an economic thread such as "Kapitalisme dan Sosialisme".
Actually he was referring to Debate Club :malus Haha, I forgot about Kaskus acronyms. Speaking of debates, you started a debate thread here in the English forum. Are you going to suggest a topic to for an English debate? I'm not sure if I would join it, but I would be interested to read, especial
This lounge is very quiet starting communications.. Yea, you have to get lucky to start a conversation on a topic that grabs people's attention when they are on Kaskus. Sometimes the people that will talk about the subject you bring up are offline and then the topic becomes forgotten. Regarding yo
@spartacruz: Thanks for the input. It's nice to hear other people's personal experience beyond what we see in the news all the time. I also use public transport frequently, but it's nowhere near as advanced as Jakarta. I have to use the angkot in Malang, which doesn't operate on a schedule like T...
@Astraios: What's wrong with criticizing our line up of television programs? Doesn't it at least put the discussion on the table, rather than completely ignore it? No one here is trying to offend anyone. Just because something is criticized without providing a "solution", doesn't mean i...
Pandji Pragiwaksono wrote in his blog/website. He said that Indonesian TV program is related to the citizen's "level" So, if we like to watch a high quality tv program, we have to "move" Feel free to read the original article here pandji.com/lets-move-it/ And sorry for my gramma

Most of Indonesia's TV programs are overused garbage. It's mostly the same stupid scenarios with different names. There are a huge number of shows dedicated to following celebrities around. Indonesia's gossip culture results in people wanting to know about people's lives no matter how pointless, so
@brotosemedi: That must have been really difficult negotiation process. I often read about foreigners' frustration in getting straightforward answers from Indonesians, especially when it comes to reporting problems or potential problems. Mutual understanding of a situation is probably the biggest...
Hi! Greetings from Malang. I see Jokowi in the news often and it's clear that he's very popular with a lot of Indonesians, especially the youth. I've been reading about much of his actions and proposed changes. Now I want to ask. How has his policies affected Jakarta residents like you guys? Has
I was reading some articles about differences between the office culture of Indonesia and Western countries, mainly targeted at Westerners who are moving to Indonesia to fill a managerial role. One thing I found interesting was the topic of rewarding employees. Here's a quote: For instance, if you
