i wanna go but i heard women are prudes there

>>2686978
I want to go but I've heard Bali is played out, it's expensive for non-strayas and girls don't put out (muslims)

>>2687244

Indonesia banned unmarried sex very recently (within the past two years). It's hard to hook up when it's a crime.

In other muslim countries, they have the same laws, but they also have loopholes. You can obtain a temporary marriage license. Then you can legally fuck your "wife," and you can annul the marriage after you're done with her. I do not yet know if you can get an expedited marriage license in Indonesia.

"Indonesian girls are prudes"
Nope. But English skill is a significant barrier to plap.

Food is good, just prepare your butthole. Transportation is.. maybe above average. Train connections etc make it easy to get around popular areas but I have also had significant issues getting transport some areas. Biggest detractor is how difficult it is to get alcohol sometimes.

Bali is fun especially clubs if you like dancing. I watch straight up chads strike out because all they had is looks and nothing else interesting about them so don't be afraid. Canggu has more foreigners but has more relaxed clubbing at old man's, sand Bar (can dance on the beach) and a Mexican cantina. Seminyak was my favorite by far at la favela. There's another club too that's a bit more older and relaxed but not sure name.

Hiking Kawah Ijen is amazing, go be a dumb ass like me and hike down to the bottom no headlamp. Id say mount bromo is forgettable compared to it. If you like caves there's one that you have to rappel down into and traverse to get to the "light of god" that has to make a fucking beautiful photo with right set up.

Surabaya you can skip unless trying to whore. Apparently #1 for prostitute but I don't pay and still got laid. Slow but steady amount of matches. Cities just boring. Malang had a little bit more to do and I went on a couple dates to have company. Rainbow village was pretty good. Jogjakarta has a lot of history and art and university so was nice too. Again just slower on dating apps.

Jakarta/bandung? Bandung has more tourist stuff and is just 30 minutes away by whoosh. Definitely worth a try. Jakartas got a lot of meat but English skills get in way a lot

>>2686978
I will be staying in Jakarta for 3 weeks in august (to visit friends and family). Are there any interesting things to do here? I've never really been to a big city and i'd like to do some city stuff

Bali is PACKED with Indonesian prostitutes from the main islands.

>>2688558
think I'll go somewhere on Java after all kek

I'll be in Jogyakarta for 10 days in September. I already found someone who will drive me around for 2 days to see some temples, but I don't know what else to see there. Just got myself a homestay in the rice paddies.

>>2687437
do the muslim girls do only oral/anal?

>full of muslims
>except that 1 island that's a cumpdump for aussie backpackers
>$50 fee to enter the country
no thanks

>>2687361
>for prosecutions to start a complaint must be filed by the children, parents or spouse of the accused couple.
unless the parents are against it it's not a big deal

>>2688951
an indo girl online (some kind of partially westernized christian chinese clearly unhappy about living under backwards-ass muslim laws) read the law and told me that even if it happened, only the person related to the accusers would actually be prosecuted, so as a traveling culture sharing enthusiast your only risk is having your brown gf taken away. Maybe she just wanted to placate me so I'll come visit desu

it's a shithole of gigantic proportions. infra is worse than thailand, overcrowded as fuck, women are uglier and more prudish, i seriously see no fucking reason to go there

>>2689018
Malaysia is superior in every way, and still very affordable.

>>2689025
>Malaysia is superior in every way, and still very affordable
How easy is it to get Malaysian minge?

just thought I'd let you guys know that a board called /pol/ is where some people post and that they may also post here. There's one guy that routinely reminds people on /trv/ but I thought I'd give y'all a heads up

>>2689030
damn that's kinda fucked up

>>2689030
Statistically most of 4chan posts on /pol/
What of it?

>>2689028
easier than indonesia, but still harder than the rest of SEA

>>2689071
>statistically most of the world is indian or chinese
the fuck is the point of these remarks? they're not even real people

>>2689073
I am saying that crossposters are so common that there's no point in even mentioning it. What was the point of YOUR post?

>>2688636
yeah me too.
i also have some palace and bromo vulcano planned, other than that idk. we'll see.
see you around anon.

>>2689071
>Statistically most of /pol/ posts on 4chan
ftfy - there's a reason why the sticky redirects pol discussion and why the place is referred to as a containment board.
only new fags and election tourists dont know that

>>2689072
what dating sites or apps are popular in indonesia so i can prepare the terrain

>>2689156
Rent free

>>2689164
muslim dating apps and you'd better look the part

>>2689018
is there a region where women are slim and pretty?

>>2689286
not really

>>2688864
exactly, literally zero interest

>>2689153
Looks beautiful! A bit too far from Jog tho. Thinking of going on a jeep tour on Mt Merapi and seeing some waterfalls in Jog. Will be there the last 2 weeks of Sept. See ya man

>>2689656
lol, i was also checking jeep tours on merapi and im also there last two weeks.
god save us, one day i'll look into someones phone in a jeep and he's gonna browse 4chan.

>>2689658
Beauty. Same time frame as I mentioned? Have already booked airbnb in the boonies as well.

>>2686978
would i be able to find something for long term rental with a private gym there? im not interested in hoeing or anything, just want to live somewhere quiet and comfy and get my shit together while remote working

>>2689694
same time yes. i havent booked yet but the prices are really funny. if you have low demands you can be there for 3 weeks for 50 eurodollars. i'll try to find something better so i dont get eaten by snakes.

>>2688558
I'm a Philippines expat, but this shit always annoyed me. Don't worry about men on Tinder. Most women aren't on Tinder. They don't need to be. They have an array of options available to them if they've a job, go to Church. go to the grocery store, or just out for a walk. I only use dating apps to supplement my dating life, not as my primary funnel.

>>2689845
im thinking of moving there for a year or so. i work remote so no problems with jobs.
how much do you spend per month on average and whats your standard of living.

fuck off, we're full.

I’m about to hop onto a flight to Jakarta. I only have one free night. Anything cool to check out near the GBK area?

Anyone been to Sulawesi? Thinking about hitting up Manado for a week during New Year's and checking out a lot of nature, but I've seen some people say the weather is awful then. Is the best option for getting around to pay a driver for the day?

Any recommendations for things to see, or any places worth checking out on the island besides Manado that aren't too difficult to get to? Or would it be better to hit up other islands for nature?

I visited Malaysian Borneo last year and loved it, so I'm looking to dig into similar but different stuff.

>>2693157
What are your interests? Many people use GBK as a hangout spot, particularly runners.

There's a great ramen place within walking distance: Eightman Ramen Restaurant in the Summitmas I building.

>>2693163
Sulawesi is vast, but it's fantastic for diving. Bunaken Island is famous for its coral snorkeling and diving spots. The food there is a must-try because they're fished from the ocean. It tastes better than most of the stuff in Jakarta desu.

Any specific things that you're into? I would say Labuan Bajo is pretty cool since you can island hop and stay on the sea there.

>>2693191
I can't swim (tried learning countless times throughout my life, but just can't), so diving is unfortunately impossible for me. Snorkeling I can do and I do it often, but always with a life vest.

Hiking and seeing animals is something I love. Tangkoko seems like it'd be perfect for that. Visiting small towns and seeing/experiencing stuff outside of globalized cities would be neat, but it seems most of that stuff is in central Sulawesi. Although if there's anything in the north, that'd be great. Alternatively, regions outside of the north that offer animals/hiking+some snorkeling+comfy towns that I could visit instead of Manado.

>>2693193
Mount Klabat is there, along with smaller hills like Mount Empung and Mount Mahawu.

Waterfall hunting is another great option. Tunan Waterfall for example, and the Malalayang Waterfalls are surrounded by other beautiful waterfalls.

>>2693215
Thanks, brother. Do you know what the best way to get around is? Grab was pretty convenient for getting from the city to the park in Malaysia and I assume it's widespread in Indonesia too?

>>2693255
Grab and Gojek are available, but renting a car with a driver is recommended for visiting natural attractions.

>>2688559
you better not be jerkin our gerkins bucko. i could always go for some dark any mysterious javanese jollies

>>2692401
ay ay ay sekerang ya ayy gadis ya one smoke one smoke smoke okay one rupia ya you like kretek? aku ya MANTAP

any good muay Thai places either in Bali or Jakarta

Going next month. Bali, Lombok, Komodo and Flores.

Don't have massive high hope for bali but could be cool to see what all they hype is about. Probably will only spend 5 days there in total.

Hi all.
Thinking of going to the Spice Islands in October - November and looking to see if anyone else has done it as the info online for it is pretty sparse. I realise this is the beginning of the wet season so might make things a little harder.
My Bahasa is pretty limited but I have a reasonable grasp of it. Should I just go to Sulawesi instead? Any tips would be greatly appreciated

Has anyone done the Lombok to Flores Liveaboard 4 day boat?

How was it?

>>2694340
theyre small. the beaches are better but how do you plan on getting there if you dont speak?

sulawesi is slightly better developed. the beaches are slightly worse. slightly more accessible. but still not really accessible.

also theres nothing to do on any of the beaches even if they're pretty. what are you going to do, sit on a beach without trees and sunburn for 8 hours, then go to your hotel?

how do you plan on getting around if you cant speak?

>>2694632
its fun. they sink sometimes though. make sure they have lifejackets.

dont go in the storm season

Are there any cities in Indonesia that are actually interesting? I'm mind blown that 300 million people live in that country, but every city just looks like an overgrown suburb with nothing going on. I've been to Thailand/Vietnam/Malaysia and like partaking in nature tourism with a couple days in bustling cities, but it seems Indonesia really lacks the latter other than maybe Bali. Are there any places where you can walk around and be surrounded with crowds of locals?

>>2695008
>how do you plan on getting there if you dont speak?
>how do you plan on getting around if you cant speak?
It's 2024. White people have been going to Indonesia and conquering the people for, what, 500 years now? There's always someone who speaks some degree of English no matter where you are in the world, and even if they don't, phones have maps and autotranslators. We make do.
>what are you going to do, sit on a beach without trees and sunburn for 8 hour
It's funny that you can't even imagine what to do on a beach. People swim, snorkel, dive, whatever.

Is Bali just for normies or actually worth checking out?

>>2696738
Bali is a aspie sperglord paradise just like Japan. Everyone on the spectrum should visit!

>>2697027
I was there in 1999. Loved it.
How has it changed / stayed the same ?

>>2687361
No. Indonesia extramarital sex has been illegal since colonial era, what they did was change the law so that only direct family can make a fuss about it, otherwise legal system has no power. Stupid fucking nigger western media can't go one day without getting facts wrong and misleading people so they reported it as if it were an increase in puritanical behavior and not a neutering of the existing law. You can fuck there fine, and the women are horny as hell, and families would never screw over their relative even if they somehow knew.

Also, the only person that can be punished is whoever the direct family files charges against, so because you have no relatives in indonesia as a tourist you literally cannot be charged with anything, in the impossible event something did happen it would only be the girl who gets in trouble.

>>2693193
How can you not swim after trying so much? Are you physically disabled or hugely obese? Anyone can swim you just need someone to properly teach you basics, after that everything is easy because you wont be freaking out in the water while trying to learn

>>2694340
Look up Banda islands, lots of colonial history, island hopping etc. Ferry or fly from Ambon. Can’t comment on how the weather will be during that period.

If you like islands, diving/snorkelling on remote island reefs, lots of rustic home stays in Raja Ampat area. I’d suggest Misool as it’s a bit more remote but be prepared to spend time getting there.

>>2697645
Thanks very much for this. I think I'm gonna postpone this one til next years dry season, run into a few extra expenses but I'm still committed to going.
Misool would be getting a ferry from Ambon right, seems well off the beaten path which I'm interested in
