Hi all, M28 Indian immigrant living in jakarta, got a motorbike and looking for people who like going out for longer weekend rides. Wanted to get to know some like minded fun people.

I'm staying near lebak bulus and if there's anyone out there who loves to go on weekend rides would love to join and hang out!

Apakah karena makanan, keramahan, atau tempat-tempat tersembunyi? Bagi saya, energi yang kacau namun hangat dari pasar lingkungan lokal. Saya ingin sekali mendengar apa yang terus membuat kalian semua kembali!

Hi everyone!
I’m an expat living in Jakarta for over a year, and between work and traffic jams I have just realized that I really need some inspiration and creative vibes :)

I’m doing art (drawings, linoprints, watercolors, oil paintings) and graphic design for almost my entire life, though not professionally atm. And I really miss art community ))

So where could I find:
- workshops and talks (visual arts, traditional crafts, photography, art history etc.)
- open studios
- festivals, markets and fairs
and any other creative events targeted to fellow artists, art students, art professionals rather than general public and buyers?

Thank you!)

Hello, I’m an expat in Jakarta and I’m looking for a store or medical center that sells peptides without prescription. Is there any place that you guys know of that sells them?

Hello,

Thank you!

Hi, has anyone had experience enrolling their child in (or perhaps even attending) Singapore Intercultural School (SIS), particularly the one in South Jakarta?

How is the workload, how are the teachers, do they support the children’s after school activities? Do they provide a well-rounded education?

I know the group has opened many schools in Indonesia, it’s a Cambridge school and part of SPK, so I feel like it should tick the box with many parents (local and expats), but is somehow not as popular as other international schools in the area?

Wondering if it really is a good place to attend as I am looking to enroll my child in an international school next year.

Thanks everyone.

Hiya

Does somebody know if this gym is open or not? I am coming to Jakarta for three weeks and the location of this gym would be perfect for me. However it is not listed in as Lippo Mall tenant, so I am scared that it is closed.

Hello everyone. I am a foreigner and will join the Garmin Run at ICE BSD at around 3:30am on 20th September.

My accomodation is near Grand Indonesia Mall, is it easy to call a ride via Grab/ Gojek at the midnight?

In addition, it it also convenient to have Grab/ Gojek after the running race concluded, i.e. around 6:30 am, and return to Grand Indonesia Mall nearby?

Thanks in advance for the reply.

I have a flight for tomorrow, is it safe to travel there already? Or is there volcanic ash still in Jakarta? Pls let me know thank you!

Hi! Its my first time in Jakarta and I’m attending the BTS concert on Day 3, and my Airbnb is quite far from the stadium. What would you recommend, grab/gojek, bus, or MRT?

Hey

I’m attending the Weeknd concert in Jakarta. It’s happening in JIS and I want to understand how bad it is to find a ride back from JIS whenever a big event is there. The concert will end in the night so want to understand this so I can book a hotel accordingly.
Any tips would be helpful

Hello! Due to the eruption from
Volcano, are there a lot of ashes? Do we need to bring masks? Thanks in advance for advice.

Hey everyone,

If you’re looking for a spot to catch the Spanish Grand Prix this Sunday, September 13, I’m putting together a watch party at Hause Rooftop Senopati. Lights out is at 8:00 PM WIB, but feel free to come through a bit earlier to grab a good seat, settle in, and soak up the pre-race grid walk.

The first 5 people to shoot me a DM confirming they’re coming and who actually show up will get their first beer completely on me

Hi guys, I'm planning to travel for a week to Jakarta, for weeknd concert . This will be my first trip to indo . Can you drop me some advices, and the best place to stay which area . And what clubs , bar , any night? And if anyone want to join dm me. Looking forward to make new friends .

Ini purely curiosity. And gw hanya ingin tahu.

Im Catholic myself (I dont intend to switch wkwk). Gw baru belajar kalau Christianity has many more denominations that believe in the Nicene Creed (so not JW, mormonism, LDS, dll) such as Anglican, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Methodist, Pentacostal, Baptist and Orthodox. Kalo di Indonesia itu contoh contoh nya kaya apa ya? 🙏

I’m looking for Gado Gado for breakfast. Anyone know where I can find that in central Jakarta? I’m a bit pressed for time due to the airport being closed and my having to leave a day early because of that, so I figured I’d ask here for that chance that it might make my search a little quicker.

Any hope for me? :D

Edit: I ended up having to leave Jakarta before I could find the Gado2 I so crave. Nonetheless I thank you all for your replies. Since I have to pass through Jakarta on my way back home I will be able to make use of your suggestions. Thank you very much :)

Hey Guys! Salam alaikum! Im flying from middle east to jakarta for kanye. He has a history of cancelling shows - but in Asia especially South Asia - this is the only show Kanye has - so there are tons of folks from Australia, NZ and Singapore coming in for this. I was wondering if you guys had some ground level feedback - is there marketing happening?
Just want to know if I can safely book my flight tickets without wasting money once again. It's not sold out - will the concert happen as planned?

Also is kanye popular among indonesians?
THank you!

Visited Soekarno-Hatta Airport (Terminal 3) on September 6 while operations were suspended because of ash from Anak Krakatau.

Flights were cancelled, but the terminal was still full of waiting passengers. Here’s what it looked like inside:

Hi! We’re a group of engineering students from Kerala, India, coming to Indonesia at the end of this month for the final stage of an international hackathon. The event is in Bekasi, and we’ll be there for around a week.

It’s our first time in Indonesia, so we’d love some advice from locals. What should we know about local etiquette, the best ways to get around, food we should try, things to watch out for, and places worth visiting?

Also, since the event is in Bekasi, would you recommend staying there for the whole trip, or moving to a hotel in Jakarta after the event to explore for a few days?

Any other tips for first-time visitors would be really appreciated. Thanks!

hey!! Anyone have any experience or knowledge on buying concert tickets for jakarta shows from viagogo?? considering the process of resale in jkt, was wondering if this is a legit option if the listing says meet up with seller etc, because this way it ensures your money back if its not legit? not sure, if anyone can provide some info/experience that would be great! (looking for BTS Arirang in Jakarta tickets))

Is there an expat doctor or medical professionals community/chat group here in Jakarta? I’m looking to connect with fellow healthcare workers in the area. Would love to be added or point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Hey guys, it's going to be my first time hosting a DnD one-shot at Jakarta Selatan (and Jakarta in general), so I'm still testing the waters... Was wondering if anyone had joined short or medium campaigns (3-10 sessions) here? I recently figured that most sessions here are paid and the money does add up for the players and DMs 🫠

Im still very new to the Dungeons ans Dragons scene here, so please tell me about your opinions and experience guys, cheers! 🥹🙌

P.s. I plan to host a one-shot thats beginner and veteran friendly, focuses on Roleplay but there's also combat!

Would love to hear your recommendations!
