Wish I had one here in Indonesia. My contractor built our house but he really sucks at waterproofing the flat roof. However, getting an expert won't cost much since that kind of labour work is cheap in Indonesia. It's the same in Malaysia. Also, ... Read More

You are disillusioned with studying for a degree in Canada because your siblings haven't faired well after graduating. But then you choose Bali as the place you want to live. I don't know what degrees your siblings have but that may be part of it, ... Read More

I don't think this is an issue when living in Japan. At the very least, since there are minimarts such as 7-Eleven, Family Mart, Lawson etc all over the place, you can easily find something easy to eat. You can find a supermarket nearby, prices drop ... Read More

Hi All,I wondered if there are many expats in Yogyakarta here?What areas are good to live there?Are there any events there for people in Yogyakarta to meet up?

Are those durians fresh from the tree for free? The ones here in Bandung must be bought but the fresh ones from the tree are not necessarily the ones that are ready to eat. Can you drop some of the free ones to me in Bandung? Read More

Yogyakarta is alright, but it's too hot. I've been there so many times over the years and seen much of what there is to see. Things I miss there are Mediterranea restaurant and visiting traditional markets. But it's definitely too hot for my liking ... Read More

I've lived in Birmingham, but back in the early 60's it was a lot safer. I used to walk alone to my infant school when I was 6 years old, about a mile from my house, and was never kidnapped or fiddled with. Can't remember the food prices though. I ... Read More

That is true. I currently live in Indonesia and the choice of food, fruits, vegetables is very different from what I could buy in England. Also, because much of the tropical fruits and veg are grown locally then they are very fresh, often sold in ... Read More

Dealing with wrongdoers by sfk
Is there a website where one can name-and-shame wrongdoers? There's this guy, who lives in Sungai Petani and even has a facebook account. He recently removed a couple of grasscutters worth a few hundred ringgit from my possession, said he was going ...
I would still file a police report. Naming and shaming might be a worse and more dangerous action. You could also just ignore the matter since it was probably partly your own fault for trusting him in the beginning. That would keep you safe and the ... Read More
