How do I meet people in Indonesia?
When we asked people living in Indonesia about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded:
"Travel, Java Lava mt hiking club, BIS PTA, Cub scouts (either British First Kemang or American scouts) and the various artist groups," explained a retiree in Jakarta.
"Not hardly anything here. A few people informally meet up. There is an English-speaking international church with lots of expats...otherwise it's up to you to meet others," explained one retiree living in Batam.
"Activities - Golf, road trip, Bazaars, Clubs - AWA, BEA, BWA, AWC, PWA (also, huge community of Latinos) and lots more. Whatever nationality they are, they will surely find their own country having their own organizations," said another member in Jakarta.
