This video is about the pros and cons of living in Indonesia as an expat. Considering moving to Indonesia, this video contains what you need to know before moving to Indonesia.
Some information in this video will be specific to living in Jakarta Indonesia, while others will be more general in nature (yes including living as an expat in Bali ). I share what I think are the advantages and disadvantages of living as an expat in Indonesia from my personal experience.
I hope this video provides you with a bit of insight into expat life in Indonesia. Enjoy.

Thank you for watching. Yes i think it is a common thing in South East Asia for expat households to employ local staff to support the home. You should totally visit Indonesia. It's beautiful.

You definitely need to visit Bunaken island in North Sulawesi Bunaken is an island of 8 km², part of the Bunaken National Marine Park. Bunaken is located at the northern tip of the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia. It belongs administratively to the municipality of Manado. Scuba diving and snorkeling attracts many visitors to the island.

You mentioned about the 'developing' healthcare system. I was wondering are you using private insurance, paying for healthcare yourself, or taking advantage of public government healthcare plan?

The way you say how the traffic in Jakarta beats all traffic elsewhere 🤣🤣🤣 It’s embarassing the fact that Jakarta’s traffic is horrible, but the way you say it, how no other traffic jam can ruffle your feathers anymore, is hilarious 😆😆

you may want to try some cities with higher altitudes than Jakarta, like Bogor or Bandung. They don't have problems like flood or really terrible traffic jam. Also, the temperature and humidity is better there overall about health care tho, the local hospital here generally really busy dealing with lots of mid to low middle class. So you want to seek a little bit expensive ones if you can Also if you really hate conservative Islamic culture, consider visiting places like Bali, Menado, Medan, or East Nusa Tenggara Province Islam isn't a majority there so it can be less conservative (wild even, if you considering people eat bats and dogs in Menado) About alcohol, Muslims are banned to drink it, so the demand is low. They even make local laws for it, so you need to have proper permission to sell it but in some places that have less Muslim as I said before, it's generally easier and cheaper to buy

Great content I must say. Are there job opportunities for black Africans willing to relocate?

Thank you. Language barrier would be the first huddle. Once you can overcome that then probably slightly easier. But most Africans there are usually business owners themselves.

That was because alcohol was semi-illegal in Indonesia ! You cannot produce or sell alcohol freely whithout license and to get a license is really difficult and expesive that's why alcohol is expensive !

As I do not dink beer, I cannot answer that question. But what know is that alcohol is relatively more expensive in Indonesia than in some Western countries. And the local Beer called Bintang is cheaper than any imported beer.
