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...
"Expats in Indonesia often join local clubs and activities such as diving, surfing, angling, golfing, running, painting, and photography. Additionally, many activities in Indonesia are organised by churches, volunteer groups, and international organisations as a way for expats to meet and interact with one another. Other ways for expats to meet people in Indonesia include attending local events, festivals, and meet-up groups, joining language classes, visiting coffee houses and libraries, and exploring local neighbourhoods," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Indonesia.
"Travel, Java Lava mt hiking club, BIS PTA, Cub scouts (either British First Kemang or American scouts) and the various artist groups," commented one expat who made the move to Jakarta, Indonesia.
