"Expatriates in Indonesia often appreciate the country's unique cultural diversity and warm hospitality. They admire the Indonesian people’s respect for religion, traditional values, and customs. They also enjoy the local cuisine, which is refreshingly different from the flavors they may be accustomed to in their home country. Additionally, the country boasts stunning natural landscapes, such as its vast beaches, lush rainforests, and stunning volcanoes. Whether it be exploring the local culture, imersing in the vibrant cities, or discovering the diverse wildlife, expats find something to love about life in Indonesia," said a member in Indonesia.

"The nationals in the area have been very warm and receptive. Naturally, the vendors have a vested interest as we provide them with a living. My husband's co-workers have been very kind to him in helping him understand cultural nuances. Unlike most of the expats here, we entertain nationals as well as other expats. We have even hosted a large holiday party in which all of the food had to be cooked halal due to the majority of nationals being Muslim," remarked another expat who made the move to Duri/Simpang Padong, Riau, Sumatra, Indonesia.
