I'm not new, just get back here to get more friends, information, and share many things.
If you need more information concerning guidance to live in Jakarta, and around (Jakarta-Bogor-Depok-Tangerang-Bekasi) just ask to my inbox. I'll give you as much as information I can give. I live in South Jakarta, so many info probably could be share for people or expat who live around here.
Recently, Jakarta is almost raining everyday. Sometimes it could be so windy, and particularly causing damaged to public service as electrical (PLN) last nite. A big tree was falling down to the electric main cable around Cipinang. Most of East Jakarta was suddenly dark due to damages electric installation. Cause i live in frontier between South and East, my area was dark too. Need more than 1 hour to fix the problem by PLN.
In the season, I'd like to advise you to be careful. Prepare your jacket, umbrella, and some of lighting up.
Cheers

Indonesia requires more preparation than western countries.
In England, a power cut makes the forums buzz and maybe gets on the news; well, on a slow day.
Here, it's far from uncommon.
I always take my cheap Nokia phone to bed with me; partially because it's my alarm clock but it also has a torch feature (About the only feature it has).
That's been handy more than once.
I have a couple of emergency LED battery powered lamps floating about.
Cheap and a good move. especially in rainy season.
