Expat In Jakarta

I'm an Australian who is based in Jakarta for the next 3 years.<br /> As you'll discover this blog is very random and unstructured, but I thought it would be interesting to record various aspects about life here so family, friends and others can find out a little more about what we're up to for the next 3 years.

I am Indonesian woman who lives in Yogyakarta. I am trying to get information about jobs in Australia, any kind of jobs, then I found this blog that made me happy, I am thinking by knowing the author or other Australian members I could get some ideas about some jobs there in Australia.
