Based on my research foreigners are allowed to buy certain properties with strata title. Must adhere to a few small rules (capped % of units in one condo building sold to foreigners etc.).

Posts: 107Thanks for your info and view. South side is nice; should be more expensive. I don't live there permanently, but I go there often enough (used to be once a month), that I think it makes sense to set up a little home base. And especially I see there are many small apartments, maybe 30-40 sq meters, in very decent interior condition, under USD 50 K; seems affordable and with not much downside.
Can I ask, for those expats who live in Jakarta long term, what are there to do in Jakarta day in and day out, that you may want to live close to? Modern malls with air conditioning? Restaurants?

Posts: 107Off topic. Where do expats hang out in Jakarta?
I know we go anywhere there are good clubs. But is there any regions of Jakarta where expats congregate for work and for living? I am thinking about buying a small apartment in Jakarta.

I know several Malio girls who liked to hang out at CJ's in their spare time but with that bar currently not operating where are the girls? All on Tinder? Doesn't seem their style hence working in bars instead. Are any of the big spa's open? I want to get back to Jakarta ASAP. Travel / Classic open?

Posts: 222Massage and Karoake
Delta is open and has been for a few months, with Covid protocols, at least the one at Harmoni is. Has a big sign out the front, free rapid testing before a massage, the wet massage there is legendary.
Normal massage is open already, like Bersih Sehat, but you'll be hard-pressed getting a handie there.
Karaoke establishments and bars are preparing to reopen, if positive news from the Governors office about the next PSBB review and easing of restrictions, on the 22nd March.

A friend told me Banten (BSD Tangerang) has already opened massage and karaoke. Doesn't surprise me, they had resto's open when Jakarta didn't during the first lockdown.
I imagine some of these places, sitting in dust and dirt and darkness, will be overrun with rats and mosquitos. Some might need a good cleanup. I actually saw one last week, with doors open and looked like a final renovation underway.
Might take a few weeks for the word to get out to the kamungs of Indramayu and Tasikmalaya and the girls returning.
You will soon be able to fuck yourself crazy at all the old usual haunts.

Posts: 119Yes, been using the full version of Duolingo. It does have enough challenges for me, but still not everything I would like to have, such as grammar drills. Occasionally I will listen to YouTube language videos. But not actually watch the screen, so I can write out in Bahasa each phrase as I hear them. Now considering a Netflix subscription so as to watch movies with bahasa subtitles.

At the same time we had people who literally stepped of the plane not speaking a word of BI so their classes were covering the absolute basics and the simplest of vocab. They honestly expected to be fully fluent and conversing after a 2 week intensive course. Of course this was hopelessly optimistic.
At the other end of the scale was a Japanese guy who spoke no English. This meant that for him to eat, travel, sleep, anything he had to use Bahasa. No one would understand him if he got lazy and fell back to his mother tongue like we English speakers could. After two months in country he was reading the news papers and watching the local news in tv.
Enjoy. G.
