Nydave wroteHi Adam,i cant offer any advice on the banking part of your post,but you seriously need to think deeply about getting a place in Java,i only live in Ri for 5 months a year,we used to live in Bali and my wife is from Surabaya,she convinced me that we should move to Javea(surabaya) i think was 4 yrs ago,this was the biggest mistake i have ever made,Sure Surabaya is a big city,but there is nothing to do here,
Being frustrated where you are now is one thing,maybe rural Java sounds great right now,but think of it long term,perhaps its just me but there is only so much isolation i can handle,and im talking about a city here in Java,as for cost of living i find Java to be more expensive than Bali,meaning grocery items,
Hi Adam will be back in Surabaya on Friday, I have been going to Bali since 1979 and Surabaya 2007. I find 3 days in Bali is enough,
I would be interested to Know how Bali is cheaper then java?(Nydave)
I don't think you would just retire, more like run your own business or teach English at a school. Do you have a Kitas , teaching Cert yet?
I would loved to still be permanent in Surabaya but the bosses keep calling me back, my wife is now doing a tafe course so she can run a new business in Surabaya.
Fill us in on your plans.
