    What is it with Asians and email? Thais are the same.

    5 years ago when I established a company in Indonesia, they insisted that we had a fax and fax line. I had forgotten about faxes, but could see that all stores still had them on their shelves.. I made a dedicated line, and bought a fax.. until now it has still not been used, and with its...

    I have kind of the same feelings, and have decided to leave Indonesia this coming week after 6 years here.

    What is it with Asians and email? Thais are the same.

    I also consider the WA thing as a problem when it comes to official and work related things. WA's are often used on private phones, and not company phones. This complicates things when there is a need to follow a communication - and especially after the employee has left the company.

    What is it with Asians and email? Thais are the same.

    ... it has also always been a puzzle and a struggle to me why they do not like to use emails, but instead prefer to mix private and professional matters on wa, and prefer to send several very short messages instead of wrapping it up in one.. I often get 3-6 ding ding ding ding.. instead of one...

    28 y.o. woman need a job

    Well I guess the comments about "my parents did not want to pay for" - is quite irrelevant to mention in your job search.. and probably in most casing just "damaging" your changes.. I would suggest you leave that out in the future, but just mention your passion instead.. This is more a less a...

    Do Indonesians say thank you less than others?

    I was just attending a wedding the last week end - an acquaintance got married.. I made the card and the envelop, and put in IDR 500,000 - as far as I understand that would be a bit more than the average.. They noticed I left quite early, and have commented on that afterwards .. but have not...

    BPJS Refund

    I was told it could be done in one day... I will update when I have confirmation from BPJS. I do belive that you cannot close down your Indonesian bank account before, as BPJS will transfer the amount to an Indonesian bank account

    BPJS Refund

    You can get your JHT back. I am trying to figure our the procedure at the moment. Some say you need to show EPO to get it, but I am not quite sure if that is true.

    Agent to help with being removed from immigration blacklist

    Is it something that really requires an agent.. until now I have found out that all "typical agent things" actually can be done well without them (you might need a local to hold your hand - could be anybody). I will do it for that price - no cure no pay

    Is this really true

    Can it really be true? I tried in another forum to ask the question, without much feed back, so I try here. Anybody heard real examples of this is actually happening? If a BPJS covered employee dies due to a work accident, BPJS will pay his family 60% of 80 months salary as a lump sum, plus...

    Property Prices in Indonesia

    Scientia is a nice place to stay. I stayed there for some months. And true it is full of students. It seems however that the mall has some problems, it getting more and more empty. Last I was there they have turned the 2nd floor into some kind of "educational floor". But there are lot of new...
