  They have highways there...so not a problem to commute to and fro to Jakarta and back.I will visit you there. If not for the JB house, I think I would have migrated to Bali and become a tour guide and probably retire there too hehe..

  No roti prata there like in Singapore but they do have curry dishes but not spicy...no indian stalls or foodstalls like in Singapore but probably you can find more of that in Northern Sumatra.
