Best place to live for young family - Central London or not? by muminbkk
Hi there, we are an Aussie family living in Thailand who are about to move to London. We lived there before kids so have some idea of areas but its a new challenge with kids. I have a 3 and 4 year old so need to be in a safe suburb with good ...
2000 is an OK budget if you need a proper flat (with 3 bedrooms, unless you want to put your two kids in the same bedroom). Safe area, I would suggest zone 2 (Fulham, Kensington Wandsworth are good in zone 2). Don't go to Brixton, Hackney and ... Read More

OMG! No Bikinis in Bali! by Ubudian
Once again, the country that has been my home for many years, and that I deeply love, has kicked me squarely in the gut. The 2013 Miss World Pageant to be held in Bali September 28 will NOT include its customary bikini swimwear segment. Once ...
Thanks Ubudian for bringing this topic up. That's true that Indonesia is the world's most populous Muslim country, but unlike Saudi Arabia, Iran, or Iraq, we are secular. We don't use Islam shariah to make decision for the country, unless you are in ... Read More
Residence Permit by azimya
Hello. Has anyone been through an interview at immigration office to obtain Residence Permit? (non EU wife married to an EU citizen)? What kind of questions do they ask?
I just did a couple of weeks ago. That is a good question, but the questions are confidential. Once, you're done with the interview, you cant just tell anybody about it, because you have to sign a document that says you will not tell anybody about ... Read More
Are Electronic Bikes (like those in Beijing) allowed in Jakarta? by CarolMae
I was recently in Beijing and saw many motorbikes vehicles which are actually electronic bikes. The battery life can last about 2-3 days or 60km of travelling at the speed of up to 60km/hour. Am thinking of getting one in Jakarta.....
I think you should be fine with that kind of bike (no need to have a license). Ive seen many Indonesians make their own modified bikes, motorbikes, motor-becak, etc. And they don't seem to have any problem with that. But, just so you know, the best ... Read More

I'm moving to jakarta by Joejoebassett
I'm a white American male, is it safe for me there to walk the streets , take cabs, public transportation. I have read so many mixed reviews??? Thanks for anyone's help
You are fine in general. And like other big cities in any country, some parts of Jakarta are not safe. Bluebird and Express are very safe. I took them all the time I was in Jakarta. Mostly, Indonesians are very nice to westerners. Some of them might ... Read More
