NannetteRipmeesterIn case you are keen to read about some more 'aha' moments read the blog post written by Dr Irene Jansen about her life in Jakarta: http://www.labourmobility.com/13-signs-youre-an-expat-in-indonesia/
guestThis is Very True : The expat also warned other married women AND men: "For wives...NO MATTER HOW YOUNG YOU ARE, Sugar Daddies are extremely sought after... so if you don't have a rock solid marriage, Jakarta may not be the destination for you. If you are going to employ a nanny or housemaid, get someone more mature and already married and preferably someone who has worked for expats for many years. Warning sign for anybody that has a husband work in Indonesia, be careful.
guestThis is an excellent article. I have encountered so much of these experiences in other countries. I feel like I could go here and already have a slight edge on how to get by with these people. Th 'sugar daddies, the apartment maintenance after payment...Wow! This is what we need to know before we start any transaction. Excellent job, Joshua. Keep us informed. We are only trying to protect ourselves when away from home..
