I joined this site to share my blog about how I see and live in Indonesia but I have found this place to be more than a blog site, it is a community and a source of information and friendship. Originally from England the differences are so clear and obvious but sometimes it is all to similar. I have been here since 2007 and must admit I like it. I am looking for friendship and contact and to help share my experiences about life in sunny Jakarta. If you would like to know more, then please drop me a note and ask. Have a great day.
