    Adopting a child

    Hi everyone! So my wife and I are a mixed couple. She's Indonesian, I'm American. We have a child who's both (I'm jealous). Anyways, we stopped by yayasan sayap Ibu in Jakarta near Blok M about two years ago to seek some information. We didn't really get much other than the whole "you can...

    US Stimulas Payments

    My parents in the states just received their check on Thursday. They live in the states. They're receiving SSI and of course now always owe taxes. This year they used direct withdraw for payment but that information was not used for direct deposit nor was SSI deposit information since they...

    US Stimulas Payments

    If it was mailed and you used an old address you no longer live at, then yes, you're going to have an issue. Hopefully when you filed your 2019 taxes you used your current address you live at. I haven't asked around yet if friends or family have received it via direct deposit yet, but the...

    US Stimulas Payments

    Heyoooo! I just got my stimulus. I'm a US born citizen and have been living in Indonesia for 8 years. I don't normally file my taxes because my wife is the breadwinner here and she's Indonesian. And then this stimulus thing pops up which makes me decide to file my taxes. I don't need to...

    Motorcycle/Car Engines

    Where's a good place to look for motorcycle and car engines? Used ones that work, of course. Of course I'm looking for something that's powerful, cheap, and works. Something that's got the engine and transmission together as well as carburetor or engine managment system would be nice too. Or...

    How to obtain Indonesian Citizenship

    I'm seeking some information on how to get indonedian citizenship. To answer some questions one might have.... Why? Because this is home, I don't like having to do business awkwardly due to my citizenship, and...a whole bunch of other headaches would be relieved. If I want to move back to the...

    Karimun Wagon R anyone driven or ridden in one?

    Just a few months late on this but... the Karimun isn't that great on the toll road when driving at speed. They're a bit too boxy for their own good. A similar car would be the Daihatsu Ayla which I feel handles the toll roads better and has a bit more comfortable interior. The Ayla is...

    BPJS... I am still confused

    From what I've seen with BPJS is that they have caps on medicine prices. I'm not too sure how it works but it seems that different hospitals have different caps on medicine prices. My father-in-law had to go to the kota RSU as they have a higher cap for med prices. If he went to RS Dharmais...

    New park in Cikokol, Tangerang...and here's a bit of a teaser

    It's actually amazing how large Gajah Tunggal actually is. One of the big bosses (ok maybe more than just one of them) is very much sensitive to what's going on in the world and she seems to always be trying to help society out in different ways. I'm not sure if this park is one of those...

    Hah. Well, at the park there's quite a few trees. In the Unity game engine you can place in trees and shrubberies and all that good stuff as well...its really not difficult.

    Are you an expat or an immigrant?

    Indonesia isn't the easiest place to adjust to. I doubt i'll ever fully adjust to this place...but I'm in a comfortable place now. I've been considering changing my citizenship to Indonesian and that made me wonder... what's the difference between an expat and an immigrant? Expats can...

    Tangerang Mayor says mie goreng causes gay babies

    Sounds like he can be sued by all instant noodle makers for defamation if this is the case.
