Keep your head down when it comes to government posts
You can imagine his shock. When they told him at first, he thought it might be a bribe attempt. Then he figured they were just trying to scare him into not doing those things anymore. They did drag their feet about it but it ended up just like they told him.- Hawk256

Keep your head down when it comes to government posts
Not German. Personal friend. Not sure which one actually earned him the deportation. Maybe since it was all 3. Good guy. Feel sorry for him. He has been in Indonesia for 30 years and did a lot of charitable things.- Hawk256

Muslim marriage for foreigners - cultural question
They will test you. You can plan on it. They will also likely check you out as much as they can short of hiring a private detective. I wouldn't count on her going against her father. Not saying it's impossible but very unlikely. She can't legally get married without his approval anyway in...- Hawk256

Muslim marriage for foreigners - cultural question
While most scholars will agree with not needing a name change, they are not so uniform on whether or not circumcision is required. Telling the woman's family that an Internet forum told you that you really don't have to be circumcised in Islam will go over like a lead ballon. According to most...- Hawk256

Not really sure why you chose to be here. You seem to dislike most everything about the country. You knew this was the country with the largest Muslim population in the world, right? Do you have anything positive to say about Indonesia?- Hawk256

In that case we need no more Egyptologists. The only job they can get is to teach other people how to be an Egyptologist. Would be much better for them to study something else.- Hawk256

Seems like you have a chip on your shoulder with Islam. Learning the Quran has nothing to do with whether or not you are educated in other matters. The two have nothing to do with each other.- Hawk256

The LEDs themselves should last a long time. The problem here is cheap drivers. They fail long before the LED itself.- Hawk256
