Indonesian Society Towards ExpatIndonesian Capital : JakartaIndonesians are often considered to be fairly nice and easy to get along with, and the best part about living in Indonesia is that the people are typically polite, hospitable, kind, and quite relaxed.On the one hand, it is a highly developed country with some of the most incredible modern cities in the world. The capital, Jakarta, is the world's second-most populous urban region, behind Tokyo, with an urban core centered on global commercial and financial organizations. Due to its proximity to Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Singapore, three of our other top expat destinations, it has earned a well-deserved reputation as South East Asia's economic city.Indonesia is famed for its warm hospitality, and Indonesians are often regarded as some of the world's friendliest people – so you'll have no trouble settling in.You may get a sense of Jakarta's civilization just by watching how its citizens interact. This may be different in other parts of Indonesia. According to my own experiences, the majority of expats feel at ease, welcomed, and assisted if they become disoriented in a new location. My wife, who was an expat, went to a nearby market two kilometers away during a trip with my 4-year-old son. She did it to stay fit while living in the same neighborhood (kampung) as us. Along the way to the market and back, three motorcyclists approached her and asked if she needed assistance or a ride home. If you require assistance, an Indonesian can assist you. If you're unsure of your destination, avoid walking alone in the area, as there are very few who can communicate well in English. If you're in Bali, the story will be different if you roam around and are occasionally assisted by a biker.NeighborhoodIndonesian neighbors are helpful and caring: while we lived in Jakarta, a neighbor would periodically knock on our door and offer us a platter of cakes or, more commonly, Indonesian cuisine (ayam pop/chicken curry). We both appreciated the elderly lady's generosity in sharing Indonesian pastries and delicacies. Many people believed that finding a good neighbor would be extremely difficult. It's similar to luck, but once discovered, you can create your own heaven. When you get to know the people in Indonesia, you are extremely likely to meet a good neighbor. Once you've accomplished that, you'll be approved and welcomed into a free society.Living expenses.The cost of living for a single expat, a couple, or a family can vary significantly. In Jakarta, the average monthly rent for a studio/tower apartment ranged between Rp 3,000,000,- and Rp 16,500,000,-. Monthly costs for a family of four are expected to be Rp.26,129,566,- Rp without rent, while monthly costs for a single individual are anticipated to be Rp.7,493,223.95Rp without rent.Indonesian educationAs an expat living in Indonesia, you'll want to check into private education options for your children as there are few public schools which deliver their teaching fully in English class.Indonesia, fortunately, has a plethora of private schools, particularly in Jakarta. British and Australian education systems are both well-liked.Private schools can be costly, with some costing upwards of $35,000/£25,000 per student each year, but there are also possibilities for as little as $6,000/£4,500.Indonesian healthcareIndonesia's healthcare system is developing, Although government investment on healthcare has expanded significantly, and in 2014, a universal healthcare system was adopted. Many Indonesians, however, continue to rely on private health insurance, particularly for services not covered by the country's standard healthcare coverage, such as mental health services.Indonesian FoodThe food is terrific for some reasons for the expat living in Indonesia as there are many foods traditionally made in Indonesia as for its richness of culture, you will be able to see it on the the streets here are filled with excellent food that will keep any tourist or visitor coming back for more. Here are the top 5 foods in Jakarta.Nasi Goreng (fried rice)The most popular dish in Jakarta may be found in every nook and cranny of the city. It's more than just fried rice with lots of goat meat and vegetables. It's rich in spices and butter, making it a wonderful supper. Traditionally, shrimp paste is added to make it even more delectable.Satay Chicken is one of the most versatile meats on the planet, and satay is nearly synonymous with Jakarta and Indonesia. Satay is a dish in which chicken marinated in sweet soy sauce is skewered and cooked to perfection. It is served with peanut sauce and garlic flakes as an appetizer.Bubur Ayam, This is the pinnacle of all porridge on the planet! It's a porridge stuffed with fried crackers, fried soybeans, tofu, and finely shredded chicken. Adding chicken broth elevates the flavor to a whole new level. What a voracious appetite!Martabak, an Indonesian pancake loaded with a variety of toppings such as Toblerone, peanuts, Nutella, chocolate sprinkles, butter, cheese, and condensed milk. The pancake is folded in half and cut through evenly so that the toppings remain in the center, enabling the flavors to erupt and leaving you with a sense of contentment, causing you to savor every bite of this treat. This meal in Jakarta was first brought by the immigrant Muslim population from the Indian subcontinent and has taken over the Indonesian food scene by storm.Nasi PadangThis is the quintessential Jakarta meal that everyone should try if they visit the city, and it is a gourmet experience not to be missed! It begins with steamed rice and continues with a variety of additional foods, ranging from beef rendang to fish head curry. An assortment of 14 to 16 dishes is kept, and you only pay for what you eat!To know more about Indonesia and how you can get Indonesian KITAS click here and book a free consultation.Related Articles : Best Golf Course Around JakartaSky Gazing Restaurant In Jakarta 2022Living In Indonesia as an ExpatIndonesia world's middle class countryThe best way to get around Jakarta in 2022Investor KITAS: Beneficial Investment Contribution in IndonesiaTraveling to Lombok?

If you live in Jakarta, there are no quick ways to get around. The bus-only lanes of the Transjakarta Busway make it one of the fastest ways to get around in Jakarta because it is so quick. These, on the other hand, may get jammed up with traffic as well. Motorbikes and cars Rental cars may be more cost-effective if you have a driver to help you out (for short journeys and full-day rentals). Go-Jek motorcycles are cheaper and faster than other ways to get around, but they are also more likely to get dirty and be less safe. Taxi, One of the best ways to get around town (and it has air conditioning, too)! Bluebird is the best choice. Make sure your taxi has a meter if you're going to a different place to get a ride. The best way to get around Jakarta in 2022: 1. Ride a bicycleCyclists should only ride their bikes in areas that have been marked. As a whole, this isn't a good idea. There are too many potholes and too much chaos. Getting around on a bike in Jakarta is almost impossible because of the city's bad traffic and lack of bike lanes. This is especially true outside the city's mostly traffic-free tourist zones. A lot of people ride bikes on Sunday between the main streets of Jl Sudirman and MH Thamrin. 2. The bus is coming.The Transjakarta Busway system has sped up city transportation a lot in the last few years. Tourists should not ride on other buses because they are slower, hotter (no air conditioning), and more crowded (pickpockets can be a problem). The Jakarta busway There is a system of air-conditioned buses called Transjakarta that runs on busways that have been approved by the government (designated lanes that are closed to all other traffic). They can help you move quickly across the city. Koridor line 1 is one of the best ways to get to Kota from the city center. It goes through Monas and along Jl Sudirman. People at stations can see Peta-rute route maps, which help them figure out how to get there (www.transjakarta.co.id). In most cases, busways have been built in the middle of existing highways, with stops about a mile apart. Each station has a shelter and is accessible through raised walkways. There are now fifteen koridor that can be used. It costs between 3500 IDR and 9000 IDR to take the train. It goes to all the train network's stops (regardless of how many koridor you use). People can buy a stored value card for 40,000 IDR, which comes with a 20,000 IDR credit. For group trips, you don't need to buy more cards. You can share the one you already have. Buses are often available from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m., so they are often full. In the morning and afternoon, some traffic is sent to the busways, which slows down the flow of traffic. They all run 24 hours a day. Buses Koridor 1, 9, 3, 2, 5, 8, and 10 all run. In general, they run every 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the traffic. For this reason, it is always a good idea to leave extra time for each trip. Due to a lot of traffic, buses don't always run on time. 3. Cars and MotorcyclesPeople who want to rent a car from a big company can find them both at the airport and in the city. Most tourists hire a driver to help them get around the city's complicated network of streets. For 500,000 to 700,000 IDR per day, these may be ordered via your hotel or using the Grab app. If you pay for the trip, you don't get tolls or parking. Odd and even license plate numbers aren't allowed to enter the city on different days in an effort to cut down on slow traffic. You can ride a motorbike in Jakarta if you're brave enough, but it's not a good idea for people who haven't done it before. It's better to use Go-Jek or Grab bikes. A helmet is provided by both companies as part of their ojek service. Short trips cost about 25,000,- IDR. 4. Taxi serviceTaxi fares in Jakarta aren't very high. The flag fall costs 7500 IDR, and each 100 M after the first kilometer costs about 300 IDR. Thank you for the tip. When it comes to talking in English, most cab drivers aren't very good at it. To help them understand where you're going, write down your destination in Bahasa or show them a map of the area where you're going. Taxis aren't all created equal. Many hotels and taxi stations use Bluebird cabs, which are the most trustworthy. You can use the company's mobile app to place an order. Uber recently bought Grab, which is based in Singapore and offers cheap transportation (around $30 for eight hours of driving around town). It has apps that let you order and manage your rides, so you can do that. He or she might not be able to speak English. Parks and tolls are not included in the ticket price. 5. Take the MRT and LRT.Both the new Jakarta MRT and the Jakarta LRT, which is a monorail, are now open. You can also take a train to Bogor. The government is building a high-speed train track to Bandung from Jakarta, and it's considered it will only take 30 minutes to get there. 6. Bajaj.Bajaj. Allow them to move a little faster than other ways of getting around. They may, however, get stuck in a lot of traffic. tourist may end up paying more for it because it is hard to figure out how much a Bajaj should cost. Normally you would talk and negotiate with the Bajaj Driver/Rider in the first place before getting on the Bajaj. The author will recommend that public transportation is best for everyday things, but if you want to go out for a nice meal, you can take a taxi or a grab car. If you're running late for a meeting, you can use a gojek or a bicycle to get there.Check out this link to find out more about the country and Investment in Indonesia.

Nevis is known as one of the Caribbean's natural wonders with a rich history; the civilization of the friendly people of Saint Kitts hosts annual events that add to the warmth of the place. With the sun shining all year, certain spots have been added to the list of cruise excursions that you can enjoy. Here are the top ten things to do in Nevis: Tour of the St. Kitts Rainforest Following an easy trail that was shaded by the rainforest canopy and brushed aside hanging banyan roots, that is how the trail was protected from the sun. There are over 400 different plant and tree species per acre, with 10-12 different varieties of mango being the most common of these. The most effective way to learn about it is to take a trip to the rainforest. If you're visiting St Kitts, this is one of the most pleasant things to do because it's such a refreshing change from the monotony of life at sea. See the Arts and Crafts at Romney Manor Learn how to weave colorful fabrics and manufacture traditional Batik shawls at this historic plantation-turned-crafts-center, which is also the home of world-renowned artisans Caribelle Batik. Wander the tropical gardens and take a tour of the facility, where you can see artists at work making colorful blankets, quilts, and scarves the old-fashioned way. After you've had a look around, go to the gift shop and pick up some mementos. I guarantee that no two pieces are the same! Pay a visit to the lovely Cockleshell Bay. Cockleshell Bay is a delightful small beach on the south side of St Kitts, with monkeys prancing on the sand and the delectable scents of Caribbean jerk chicken wafting from rustic barbecue shacks. The water is clean, warm, and shallow, with little waves lapping the shore. Oh, and if you want to view St. Kitts' neighbor, look across The Narrows (little strait) to the island of Nevis.  Learn About St. Kitts' History. There are historic landmarks all throughout the island, so it's no surprise that taking an island tour and learning about the past is one of the most popular St Kitts cruise excursions. The island's economy was once based on rum and sugar, making it the richest of all the English colonies in the Caribbean. As you drive through historic sugar plantations and chimneys, you'll find relics of this previous business. Some, like Ottley's Plantation Inn, have been turned into hotels and restaurants, allowing visitors to get up and personal with the island's history. Brimstone Hill Fortress is a unique experience (a must do in St Kitts). It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located 800 feet above sea level. It's not only a terrific spot to learn about the island's history, but you can also enjoy the panoramic views beyond the massive canons. Immerse Yourself in Caribbean Life  Treat yourself to a day at the beach! St Kitts Water Sports offers a variety of sports at Cockleshell Bay, including jet skiing, stand up paddle boarding, and kayaking. When you're hungry, stop into Reggae Beach Bar for a bite to eat and a frozen beverage. This beach has a great vibrant vibe, and it's one of the best beaches in St Kitts (near cruise port in Basseterre). If you want to observe what's going on beneath the ocean, you may board a catamaran with Blue Water Safaris St Kitts. There's an amazing underground world you've forgotten about, and the water is crystal pure. Dive in and find out! They will take you snorkeling with turtles and tropical fish, and they will even show you a strange shipwreck. If you're lucky, you could even have a chance to visit the island of Nevis. Pay a visit to the Old Road Colonial Settlement. If you want to go back in time and experience what the historic Caribbean looked like, go to the settlement of Old Road on the west side of the island. Old Road, the Caribbean's oldest British colonial settlement, dates back to 1624, when Englishman James Warner built the town. The quantity of tobacco plants drew him to St. Kitts. The town has a nostalgic, marine vibe about it, which contrasts sharply with the capital, Basseterre, where the St. Kitts cruise port is located. Take a Zip Line Adventure on St. Kitts. Along with walking, snorkeling, and swimming, zip-lining is available in St. Kitts. Fly over the dense forest with Sky Safari Tours and scream at the top of your lungs. There are a total of six zip lines, with the final one being a race against your companion. If you're traveling with children, this is one of the best St Kitts cruise excursions. You'll undoubtedly be more terrified than they are! They'll have a blast flying in the air. Go to Frigate Bay in St. Kitts. This lively bay is lined with numerous rum and reggae bars. Check out the top beach bars and party locations. Another of my favorite things to do in St. Kitts was this. There's a great local, true vibe there, and it's not overcrowded. It's a great spot to mingle with the people and, in some circumstances, literally soak up some Caribbean energy! Swim in the warm, shallow waters of the Caribbean in South Frigate Bay, or head to the northern edge for stronger waves, hotels like the St. Kitts Marriott Resort, and the greens of the Royal St Kitts Golf Club. Though not far apart, the two sides of the bay feel diametrically opposed - and I'd recommend seeing both if you have time when deciding things to do in St Kitts on a cruise.  Attend the annual events and festival For a country that's so small, there are a lot of big events. The annual Saint Kitts Music Festival brings together big names in music from all over the Caribbean. The big annual event on Nevis is Culturama, this year will be started on 21st of July Until 2nd Of August 2022, a festival that has been going on for years. It was started to keep and promote local traditions and folk art. The festival takes place on the first weekend of August each year, which is the same time as Emancipation Day, when African were freed from their jobs. People have been coming to the island for the festival since it started in 1974. There were dances and dramas, as well as arts and crafts and a local recipe contest. There was also a beauty pageant and a calypso competition. A re-enactment of the Battle of St. Kitts will be held in March, as well as Independence Day in September, and the Latin Fiesta in October. Even in November, St. Kitts has its own Fashion Week.  Those are the top ten things to do in Saint Kitts and Nevis to learn more about the island.
