    Decrease of Indonesian Middle Class

    Decrease of Indonesian Middle Class

    That's my strategy as well, like flying with Garuda instead of BatikAir. Staying in 5 star hotels. But does not unfold as planned in some cases.

    Decrease of Indonesian Middle Class

    Same experience in Yogyakarta, just a couple of weeks ago. But what can one expect? This is a developing country. Some couple of hundreds years ago, in Europe it was normal to eat with hands, burp and throw up at the dining table. Luckily, Indonesians don't throw up at the dining table 😂 If...

Most of the "would be middle class" families have loans and buy stuff on credit, while living in kampungs with almost no water or...

    WANTING TO BUY PROPERTY IN BATAM

    Or ... Monaco. I once stayed there in an apartment (with sea view) of a friend. I saw a bunch of mafia people at the property of a mansion next door ... with guns and such ... including the sun glasses 😎

    Cleaning up their own mess, is not child labor. It's part of learning 'etika' which most of them lack. And while we are on the subject of education, why not a program or two for teaching all of them some manners.
