What do I need to know before moving to Indonesia?

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Indonesia, they said:

"Actual move: 1) Know how far & how much will the company be providing. If private, then Expat Relocation Company is the best company. They also do the maintenance and the middle man between the landlord and you. Less hassle from your part. They always get their job done. The owners are expats and they make sure service is always satisfactory. Choosing a neighborhood: 1) The very first thing is to know whether the area is high enough not to get flooded. 2) Know your neighborhood. Like if it's mostly local, know the history. Finding a home: 1) Expat Relocation Company is the best deal ever. Less headache and less hassle," said one expat in Jakarta.
