Hi,

I am planning to come to Surabaya to manage a project.聽 What do you think of the area?聽 Is language an issue?聽 Is there much of an expat community there? I have done projects in Germany, Ireland and all over the US but this will be my first time in asia and it seems quite scary!聽 What about the climate and instects? Is it a dangerous place.聽 I am very excited to get there but also hoping to be able to get to know people there!


All the best,
Tom

Hello Tom,

These days language (English) is not a big issue but still it would be good having at least some basic understanding of Bahasa Indonesia, if you stay here for longer period of time for your project you should consider to take some private lessons.

About expat community in Surabaya I can not say much, for sure there are a lot of foreigners living there but perhaps you should look around here in the forum also.

Surabaya is known to be very hot but houses, hotels, malls etc do have air conditions so you don't have to worry to much.

Try to learn and adjust to the Indonesian culture, respect the people and you will be fine. There are plenty of books one can buy an easy way to learn about the history of Indonesia, it's people and so on.

Cheers

Hello dear expats,

I already went through the other threats but I had the feeling that almost all of them became to another topic..

Sooo, my questions: are there any expats in Surabaya at the moment? How long are you guys staying here?
I arrived a month ago, starting to settle down and feel comfortable...but..friends are missing!
I am going to stay here for a whole year, managing a project.
Looking forward to hear from you
