    Trend JKT; outside entertaining space

    But then again, when the admission price is around $12, what do you expect? We're talking about how crowded the place is, not how fancy, clean, modern, organized or safe the place is compared to parcs in the West or wealthier countries. A ticket to Disneyland Paris is nearly 10 times as much...

    Trend JKT; outside entertaining space

    Like every other amusement park in the world on weekends??

    Quality of Healthcare and Physicians

    Yeah, doctors here are hit and miss (often miss). Some anecdotes, off the top of my head: 1. That time I had the audacity to be admitted in ER with horrible kidney stone pain. I waited 3 hours in agony, puking everywhere due to pain, for the specialist to come back from sholat jumat 2. The...

    Buying Aircon units, advice needed

    Thank you for the replies. As suspected, everyone seems happy with one of the main brands. I'll probably go with Sharp inverter types, without the fancy ionizers.

    Buying Aircon units, advice needed

    Hi everyone, I need to install 4 AC units for the new house I'm moving in. I'm also bringing with me a Sharp AH-A9VEY (1PK / 2.64kW) which is currently in my living room and doing a decent job, although the living room is not very big. So I need to buy 3 more. I'm thinking of using the Sharp...

    Mobil Rakyat...new cars

    HR-V is definitely on the top of the list. Seems like a no brainer, so many on the road. But damn is it boring. And as mentioned, most likely second hand. I would prefer a higher model a few years old than a brand new entry market car. Terios/Rush, hard no. Too big, I don't need a 7 seater...

    Mobil Rakyat...new cars

    I love this thread! Perfect place to ask for advice. So I need a new car (well second hand probably). It needs to have the following characteristics: somewhat modern (last car was a 2012 VW Golf TSI, so looking for something 5yo tops) must be comfortable, so suspensions are important (no...

    New customs regulation, only 5kg of processed food allowed per person?

    Apparently yes, max $1,500 for some categories.

    New customs regulation, only 5kg of processed food allowed per person?

    That's already happening, but not at the passenger terminal in front of everyone.

    New customs regulation, only 5kg of processed food allowed per person?

    In a country where tax compliance is so low for both individuals and businesses alike, this is no surprise that they try all they can to increase tax-revenue.

    New customs regulation, only 5kg of processed food allowed per person?

    I've seen it in several "official" looking guides that it applies to new goods. But I mean, come on, let's use common sense: 1. Do you expect they would make a rule where you are only allowed to bring 5 pieces of clothing with you? It's ridiculous. So now everyone traveling to Indonesia will...

    New customs regulation, only 5kg of processed food allowed per person?

    I hope I'm correct but frankly, I think people are making an unnecessary big deal out of this. There were already limitations to the value of imports for some time now. Now, they actually give some limits on some items which overall increases the value of what can be brought in. Obviously...

    House Construction Questions

    You couldn't be more wrong. Australia has various climates, the weather in, for instance, the southern parts of West Australia is very different from Northern Territory (which is more humid like Indonesia). Then you've got places like Tanzania that are also pretty chill. As such the building...

    House Construction Questions

    Right, indeed I got side tracked into thermal insulation but I do know that when this AIRCELL product is used under a roof, it has sound dampening properties. Rockwool is a good product obviously, but I think @Ruserious is right to be worried about it absorbing water and used as nest.

    House Construction Questions

    It dampens the sound but is not sound proofing material. So yes, it does reduce the sound. You get what you pay for. This is a product that is in line with the Australian building code, so you can be sure that its advertised performance is real and that it is safe. That said, perhaps if it's...

    House Construction Questions

    @Loki also check Mitra10 @Ruserious I would look for an option as suggested before using bubble wrap or this kind of flexible foam material sandwiched between 2 aluminium foils. If you buy from a reputable brand and get it installed properly (example: it MUST sag between the rafters to have...

    New customs regulation, only 5kg of processed food allowed per person?

    I saw the news about this, it's ridiculous... Once again, system abusers ruin the fun for the rest of us honest folks. I just got back from Europe and brought back a lot more than 5kg in food stuff!

    research on “The Willingness to Join Indonesia National Health Insurance (JKN) Among Foreign Workers in Indonesia”

    Perhaps you're all missing the point. I think the survey is actually a social experiment about studying the effect of riling up a bunch of bule online over absolutely nothing.
