[@suleimanahmedsuleiman]

This is really helpful for me. I love the fact that they're friendly people.

[@rachelyaoudam8952]

I also loveeee south east asian food and we are lucky to have a nany, cook, gardener, driver and a househelp here in Pakistan. I would love to go to Indonésie after this crazy lockdown. Thank you for sharing your expérience.

[@Waleochronicles]

Thank you for watching. Yes i think it is a common thing in South East Asia for expat households to employ local staff to support the home. You should totally visit Indonesia. It's beautiful.

[@chrispalasz]

This is a great video and helped me ponder the pros and cons of moving to Jakarta. It's pretty close. Thanks a lot

You definitely need to visit Bunaken island in North Sulawesi Bunaken is an island of 8 km², part of the Bunaken National Marine Park. Bunaken is located at the northern tip of the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia. It belongs administratively to the municipality of Manado. Scuba diving and snorkeling attracts many visitors to the island.

You mentioned about the 'developing' healthcare system. I was wondering are you using private insurance, paying for healthcare yourself, or taking advantage of public government healthcare plan?

[@xxxbbb1973]

i have a rubber boat in my house. incase there is flood. because flood is everywhere when raining season is coming

[@Waleochronicles]

Good that you are always prepared 😄

[@victoria19632010]

Pro 1.food cheap and many varieties. 2. Living standards for expat are good. 3.travel abrod neighboring indonesia. 4.party nite life dress up but some cons. 5.weather .always sunshine or rain.

[@manoi8]

you may want to try some cities with higher altitudes than Jakarta, like Bogor or Bandung. They don't have problems like flood or really terrible traffic jam. Also, the temperature and humidity is better there overall about health care tho, the local hospital here generally really busy dealing with lots of mid to low middle class. So you want to seek a little bit expensive ones if you can Also if you really hate conservative Islamic culture, consider visiting places like Bali, Menado, Medan, or East Nusa Tenggara Province Islam isn't a majority there so it can be less conservative (wild even, if you considering people eat bats and dogs in Menado) About alcohol, Muslims are banned to drink it, so the demand is low. They even make local laws for it, so you need to have proper permission to sell it but in some places that have less Muslim as I said before, it's generally easier and cheaper to buy

[@ChikaW]

I have never travelled to Indonesia. Great summary, makes me want to visit. I found your channel from your comment on JustDoingMi's channel :-)

[@Waleochronicles]

Thank you for stopping by. Indonesia has so much to offer. You should definitely visit.

[@iawarenow658]

@@Waleochronicles how the racist visa policies are a nightmare.. they also hate Black people so why you lying you too afraid to say the truth about the Malay Mongols..?

[@jeffjero8687]

That was because alcohol was semi-illegal in Indonesia ! You cannot produce or sell alcohol freely whithout license and to get a license is really difficult and expesive that's why alcohol is expensive !

[@RezaOLine]

But you can buy alcohol for cheap in bali.. just watch "$100 in Bali" video..

[@jeffjero8687]

That' what I mean by illegal Bali is place for tourism,of course their sell alcohol ! And not everyone in Indonesia think 100 $ is cheap man !

[@RezaOLine]

@@jeffjero8687 i know.. i was only talking about alcohol part.. i just want to show you if alcohol is legal in bali and affordable based on that video..

[@jeffjero8687]

Like I said it was a tourism place, of course they have a license to sell it, but if they don't, well the police will take it all ! By force, if it was necessary to do !

[@satish8299]

[@mochamichaela8978]

You are so beautiful... much love from Indonesia

[@Waleochronicles]

Thank you for your compliment 😊

[@griffinina]

The way you say how the traffic in Jakarta beats all traffic elsewhere 🤣🤣🤣 It’s embarassing the fact that Jakarta’s traffic is horrible, but the way you say it, how no other traffic jam can ruffle your feathers anymore, is hilarious 😆😆

[@Waleochronicles]

😄😄😄 honestly Jakarta has trained and groomed me for traffic jam. Here in Germany when people complain that there is any form of traffic you can imagine my expression 😄

[@alickak8346]

I am planning to visit Jakarta with my Filipina wife as soon as possible.. Have you ever seen a multiracial couples there?

[@Waleochronicles]

There are multi racial couples in Jakarta like any other metropolitan city in the world. I've seen a significant bunch myself in Jakarta. Thanks for watching 😊

[@dranoelw]

i would recommend somewhere else to go, such as bali, jogja etc. much more to see (mostly nature and culture), in jakarta the culture is too mixed up. maybe spend a few days in jakarta and go somewhere else, unless you like shopping 😅

[@fritzthecat5745]

Hi ! I am European, yet living in Brazil more than 15 years. Love Indonesia. Know Jakarta and for me very exiting. Thinking of the idea moving to Jakarta. BUT I AM NOT MARRIED WITH AN INDONESIAN WOMAN. AND DO NOT HAVE A JOB TO WORK THERE. Do you know spite of the fact I told you before TO GET SOME SORT OF VISA IN MY CASE ? Cheers Fred

[@Nic_in_bali24]

great video thanks

[@Pablo113]

How much is Beer in Indo? Like in USD

[@Waleochronicles]

As I do not dink beer, I cannot answer that question. But what know is that alcohol is relatively more expensive in Indonesia than in some Western countries. And the local Beer called Bintang is cheaper than any imported beer.

[@benniegant1603]

1.67 usd

[@christopherhouse7937]

As far as rent goes? In Indonesia 🇮🇩 is it possible to get a studio or 1 bedroom for under $200 USD per month?.

[@getajuandi1303]

If you were looking for apartment it will cost maybe $300-400 a month but if you want to get more chiper you can get an a house with $150-200 a month.

[@husainpamungkas9835]

Hey greeting from Indonesia 👍👍 im ur new subcribr

[@Waleochronicles]

Thanks new subscriber. 😊 Greeting from Germany 😊

[@nnekaachugo5270]

Great content I must say. Are there job opportunities for black Africans willing to relocate?

[@Waleochronicles]

Thank you. Language barrier would be the first huddle. Once you can overcome that then probably slightly easier. But most Africans there are usually business owners themselves.

[@jasong6967]

I want to move from Canada to Indonesia STRICTLY because it’s dirt cheap

[@Waleochronicles]

All the best with your relocation 😄 It's indeed cheap but I wouldn't say dirt cheap though,

[@GauravYadav-qv4of]

What about the earning? Won't that be less than your current earning?

[@Tynafey]

Is the traffic as worst as lagos traffic?

[@Waleochronicles]

Lagos traffic is learning 😄 Jakarta is much more bigger than Lagos.

[@cheapcigs9772]

Pop noise is too loud

[@C0MMuN15t-i3x]

You had a lot of fun in the rainy season, meanwhile I'm here trying to fix the toilet, cuz my shit won't come down.

[@victoria19632010]

The contras living in jkt.. 1 traffic. 2.pollution. 3heath care.you hv to go to Singapore. 4.relgion. 5.Imported goods r expensive.

[@jamesbob.5384]

[@LeroyBrown]

So much talk of economics yet completely devoid of details. I feel somewhat more ignorant of this country than before watching this.
