    Garden visitors

    According to the ani2? They -when smaller- also like to chew on the stem of a papaya leaf and even better: celery.

    USA Versus China in Science & Technology

    In my family in law there are quite some kids who choose to study in China now. The U.S. is not that popular anymore. Probably also pushed somewhat by the parents, it definitely is cheaper also.

    Garden visitors

    Ah it’s a she. That explains a lot, many in Bali get rid of the bitches in a litter and let the males stay. Sterilization (spaying) is drastic and expensive. If you choose not to do that the big problem will be that when she’s in heat she will run away and attract the street dogs from the...

    USA Versus China in Science & Technology

    AMEX is extremely unpopular in South East Asia. (Also in Europe btw. Only Diners Club is worse.) Far too expensive for the vendors. And younger people are not that focused on credit cards anymore, they all want the e-wallet app. So that’s via (national) QR code systems. In RI that’s QRIS of...

    Garden visitors

    A real garden visitor. Quite a responsibility to adopt a dog. But the affection and guarding ability is also worth something. Luckily in many places in Bali they can be be hybrid home/street dogs otherwise I would already have 15 dogs there.

    Krakatoa eruption

    They keep on shifting the times of resuming the flights (to and from Jakarta). Yesterday it was 5 PM, it became midnight and then it was communicated as 9 AM this morning and now it became 6 PM. Let’s see. Land travel from Bali is also not easy; everything is sold out.

    USA Versus China in Science & Technology

    If there is one country where the Indonesian authorities have a very good view of accounts at financial institutions, it’s Singapore. And they refuse most American customers now anyway because of the tax reporting. Banks like (US) Citi don’t even offer (updates of) their apps when you’re in...

    Itas to itap

    Just prepare all these 8 to 9-ish documents and put them in a single PDF and upload them via the system in one of the two PDF fields. Don’t make it too difficult (for yourself).

    Mobil Rakyat...new cars

    Mitsubishi is introducing a new Pajero. Well, in fact it’s a Pajero Sport again, with a diesel engine and a Triton pickup truck base and made in Thailand. But this time they position it as a flagship model so that more or less means the real uber Pajero will never return. Toyota does a bit the...

    Then you could end up with 4% + 2% costs and/or encounter card limits (which for cash withdrawal I would never ever put higher).

    Middle Class Under Pressure

    Conscription of military service (and as alternative service in hospitals etc.). Better exploit that fondness for uniforms and para military organizations.

    Mobil Rakyat...new cars

    Ya, motorcycles can have the same problem. If it is practically never used and you’re concerned about the battery, you could use a (good!) trickle charger or disconnect the negative terminal. Normally the battery is rather easy to access; under floor plate or in compartment under handle bars. Of...

    Mobil Rakyat...new cars

    All of us with a car probably have done this; let the engine run stationary while waiting for someone or cooling the interior down (or heating it up in colder climates). And drivers here don‘t shy away from letting the car run for hours while they are waiting for their employers shopping...

    The show has started

    It is somewhat more nuanced than that. The Jakarta Metropolitan Police (Polda Metro Jaya) requested a temporary transaction suspension (up to five working days) of one account to investigate the legality of the fundraising activities and the source of the donated funds on that account. Mandiri...

    Proposal to increase the parking charge up to Rp60k for cars and up to Rp15k per hour for motor bike !!!

    We are talking public parkings owned by the government or city/dki owned enterprises (e.g. Pasar Jaya*) and on-street parking zones here. Any private or commercial parking can ask whatever they want. * that local government also manages markets etc. https://www.pasarjaya.co.id/

    You are making my point. And no way a hotel receptionist in an Ibis in Amsterdam can afford to park his/her 12 year old Ford Fiesta there. Not even talking about the difference in rent, food, ….
