Most everybody takes advantage of the school holidays to repatriate at least for a few weeks and enjoy quality family time, real barbecue grilled burgers, fresh (vs. frozen) berries, good root beer, and very possibly some … Continue reading

Take a deep breath, close…
Take a deep breath, close your eyes, tap your heels three times and think there’s no place like home. You might still be in the same place but don’t worry if it feels different and unknown.

Just a little piece of advice my expat friends who’ve just moved into their new home.

The few city parks I’ve seen are very dirty and not well-taken care of and the tropical heat doesn’t help considering these parks barely have any trees to provide … Continue reading

Find: Indoguna Meatshop
You might wonder what on earth I’m doing talking about a meatshop in Indonesia but this place is worth writing about. As many expats in Jakarta have probably noticed by now, good steak is very hard to find. If you happen to find it, it will probably be at Ranch Market, Kem Chicks or the … Continue reading

A couple of days ago I got an email from the Mexican Embassy in Jakarta informing us that the Mexican company La Costeña had started selling their products in Indonesia. Mexicans all over the world know this brand and trust it to be a simple and flavorful way to add a bit of Mexican flare … Continue reading
Aqui se Habla Español…
y portugués, inglés y bahasa. I never would have imagined that I would be able to find Spanish speakers in Jakarta, let alone an association that fosters the usage of the language and the promotion of Ibero-American culture. I was so excited to find the Spanish Speaking Women Association in Jakarta and quickly got involved … Continue reading
