 Dear Sanjukta, Welcome to Jakarta! For your inquiries here are a couple of recommendations:
 1. For Art classes: I personally recommend Hadripana Art school. I take my art classes there as well. They have courses for children and Adults. They have branches in Kemang (South Jakarta) and Menteng (Central Jakarta). Just to give you an idea, for children acrylic classes they charge 680,000 rp.for 8 classes in a month. Each class last for 2 hours. Schedule: Mon: 3-5 pm Tues: 1.30 3.30 pm Wed. 4-6 pm Thur: 3-5 pm Fri: 2-4 and 4-6 pm Weekends: 9 am -3pm You can also check out their website to learn more: http://www.hadiprana-artcentre.com/

They are open from Monday to Saturday until 12 noon. Staff interview are every Mondays and Tuesdays 8 to 10 am. *JICC (Jakarta International Community Center) Jl Kemang Dalam X No. E6A, Kemang Phone: (62 21) 7179-2813 Email: jicc@cbn.net.id / http://www.jicconline.com Note: Please check wit JICC too as sometimes they offer art classes too.

New comer to Jakarta

Hi, I am scheduled to come work in Jakarta in a few months. 

 1.- Is traffics really as bad as some people speak. If so is it all day or just rush hours ? 

 2.- I see a lot of real estate being advertised at varying prices. What would be a realistic price for a comfortable furnished townhouse ~ 120 sq m in Jakarta Pusat or Menteng ? 

 3.- Is the supply of electricity reliable? . I see wattage included with many real estate listings.

 4.- golf clubs. Can foreigners join at reasonable rates ? 

 5.- Food. Are all varieties of meat readily available in supermarkets, chciken, pork etc. 

 Thanks.JEAN 

 Hi Jean, 

 1) Indeed, traffic is atrocious here but there are ways around it. Depending on where you work, you can go to your office earlier than usual. Rush hour does exist here and is from 730 – 930 and again at 1530 until 1730 however, traffic is still very unpredictable and can be a mess at any given time. I myself have purchased a motorcycle and get around that way. It makes things much easier. There is a ‘flyover’ project in place which is expected to be completed sometime in 2013 so depending on where you will live, I suspect this will make the traffic situation less of an issue and especially to south Jakarta areas. 

 2) I work for a relocation company (Santa Fe Relocation Services) and suggest you contact us for further details on prices because depending upon which community you chose, prices can fluctuate drastically. Please contact us at santaferelohomes.com or email at homes@santaferelo.co.id 

 3) Again, depends upon where you live but many expat homes have generator sets. Electricity outages do take place from time to time but generally the local electric company, PLN does advise if/when they will be shutting off the power for prolonged periods of time. 

 4) Golf clubs; there are too many to mention on here. Yes, you can join and play for very reasonable prices. From 200,000 IDR – 1.600,000 IDR. The golf courses are amazing and you don’t need to be a member to play in most of them. 

 5) Grocery shopping is plentiful and you can find anything you need here. Suggest you request a look-see city orientation tour that would give you support and guidance pre and post arrival. Please write further if this of interest and we can give you our contact details. For more information on events and listings, you can always check www.whatsnewjakarta.com Thanks and best of luck, Jean Paul. Hope to hear back from you soon. Lara

Buy lamp in Jakarta

Hi WNJ! My wife has two cloisonné brass ewers with a hole in the bottom, designed to be turned into bedside lamps. When we were in Jakarta 20 years ago, there was a “lamp lady” who made such lamps, but my wife can’t locate any such tukang now. Can you help? Thanks in advance. Bill

Hi Bill, Try the shop lampu lampu located on jl Kemang selatan 1 (the street that leads down to Hero Kemang) or any of the smaller interior decor shops that makes lamp shades and curtains etc may be able to help you out. Maybe Duta interior at the south end of Ampera Raya. Kelly & Lara

Weight Watcher in Jakarta

Hi Kelly, Hi Lara, Can you tell me if there are any 'Weight Watchers' type of companies here? Or even informal groups similar to Weight Watchers? Thank you. Martine

  Hi. Not sure about weight watchers here but I'm sure you can do it officially with weight watchers online. Why not grab some friends and all register and have fun weigh ins together. There is a company here called slim gourmet that do Jenny Craig type meals delivered to your home. You can either choose a weigh loss or healthy option. (haven't tried it myself but looks good). At the gym they'll also offer a weight and measurement session for you. Just ask if you're a member of one of the bigger gyms. I think for calorie counting and weighing in there would be heaps of online sights and forums now. You can weigh in with cyber friends quite easily I'm sure. Good luck. Or come and join me at spinning class. I found it a great way to lose weight without dieting! Slim gourmet web http://www.slimgourmet.net/

Questions about Jakarta from newcomer

Hello I am a french lost newcomer in Jakarta, and have a few questions; 1/Where could I find a private guitar teacher working from tabs (partitions with numbers)for my son whom played three years already so not really beginner. 2/Do you know a carpenter who can make canvases on order (for painting )? Is there a place with products for vegetarians (hemp seed quinoa)? 3/Because I do like my privacy very much I would like to avoid as much hiring people.Is it possible to do without a bell boy|guard or will it be even worse because somebody might ring on the gate every couple of hours?(I won't have a maid and will live in pondok Indah.) Thank you for your very useful blog where I already found a lot of answers (By the way do you have any classifications or FAQ to find answers to previous questions?) Isabel

  Hi Isabel
Re the vegetarian items I'm not sure apart from trying the bigger expat frequented supermarkets like ranch market or kemchicks. It can be hit and miss. If you see what you're after, stock up. I know a friend asked me to buy her some quinoa in singapore so maybe if you have anyone visiting bring it with them.

 Re security I wouldn't recommend you have no one. Basically it is a prevention for petty crime. Thieves will target in guarded houses. You might be better to hire a professional security company to provide guards as they will be strictly security. A jarga (houseboy/gardener) will be more Around your home. I'll ask around for a guitar teacher. If you ask at some of the music shops often staff are keen to give lessons. Kelly

New to Jakarta

Hello there! My name is Beth, and I'll be moving to Tangerang city at the beginning of September, 2012 to work as a teacher for EF. I suppose I have so many questions that will be answered after just diving in and experiencing it for myself...but I thought it couldn't hurt to make some contact. The internet is not the best source for good news about living in Jakarta or its outskirts...is there anything, redeeming about Tangerang City? I'm just hoping to keep my positive attitude a-float, as on the whole I'm truly excited about moving to Indonesia. Any tidbits you can offer would be much appreciated! Thank you, Beth

Where can I get authentic affordable Indonesian home furnishing?

Hi, I'm Malaysian and am going to Jakarta for the Lebaran holidays. WHere can I get authentic affordable Indonesian home furnishing? Jasmine

Hi Jasmine, 
Kemang Timur or anywhere in Kemang has a wealth of affordable furniture shopping. You can try at
CV Jaya on Kemang Raya. Kemang Raya 78A 62 21 719 2878
 LIO Gallery in Kemang (costlier but lovely items) Jl Kemang Timur No 50 62 21 718 0501
 Confetti Jl Kemang Timur No 27A 62 21 7179 2024
 Asiatica Jl Kemang Raya 41 62 21 719 3260
 Klots Jl Kemang Timur No 48 62 21 7179 1827
Plan on making frequent stops on Kemang Timur. I don't recommend you actually walk down the street but you can hop out of the car as there are dozens of art shops and furniture galleries up and down each side of the road. Do barter and another little tip, occasionally my driver has better luck than I with the bartering so if I see something I like and cannot get the price I'm keen on, he'll go in a bit later and they will generally give it to him. :) I'll tip him about 20,000 - 50,000 IDR depending on the amount of the purchase. If large purchase (over 2 million) then I'll give him 100,000 IDR.

 Happy Shopping!! Kelly & Lara

Horse Riding in Jakarta

Hi there, Great resource for expats! I’m moving out in a couple of weeks with my husband to be who is very much into sport. We’d like to find a sports club or something of the sort in Jakarta (if poss) where I can horse ride, we can play golf, swim, squash etc. I’ve had a look and the few clubs there are don’t seem to offer any horse riding or they are too far out of the city to go after work. Do you have any suggestions of good sports clubs we could look to become members of that are central? Thanks in advance, Sylvana

 Hi, Horse riding you're going to have to head out of town. There are stables at sentul also golf courses out that way but it wouldn't really be a place to pop into after work. Even getting across town after work can take an hour at least so look for clubs near by work or where you live. Many of the big golf clubs offer a pool and maybe a gym but a lot of these are also outside of the city 1.5 to 2 hours drive in good traffic. Pondok indah golf club might be worth a try if you live in that area. Jakarta is not an easy place to get around so you may need to save golf and horse riding for weekends and join a club for swimming and gym or squash. Not a lot of the gyms have squash or swimming pools so may want to look at hotels or complexes that have these facilities. They usually let outside guests join but is usually pricey. Let us know what part of town you live in and maybe we can give recommendations.

Swim Coach who can give lessons to adult learners ?

Hi ladies, My name is Amba and I moved to Jakarta about 3 months ago with my family from the U.S. Thanks for the awesome blog you have. I would like to ask if you know of an experienced swim coach who can give lessons to adult learners - some scared of water here in Jakarta. I live in Kemang and can organize the group for a few friends at home in my own pool for privacy. However, iI you know of any excellent instructors who work at clubs or public swim pools but who hold small individual or private lessons too please let me know. Thanks, Amba

Hi Kelly and Lara, 

 First of all, I'm very impressed with your blog, it's really invaluable! 

I was wondering if you can advise me on Jakarta's Salsa scenes. I started a few months ago and have been dancing frequently in London. Would really hate to not be able to do it here. Now I've noticed that you made some list about a year ago. May I please trouble you and ask for an updated list? Also, would you happen to know if partners are required and what the sex ratio's like for Latin dancing in these places? Thanks very much! Regards, Jess

Hi Jess 

I am a keen salsa dancer and there are plenty of salsa nights to keep you happy. 

 Tuesday nights I think is at Benny Hana Japanese restaurant grand Indonesia. (strange place to have salsa but it works) from 730pm -11pm (you may need to check times) 

 Thursday nights as far as I know there are now 3 options. Most popular r ritz carlton hotel mega kunningan tempus lounge 930pm-1am Fx - the one and only bar. Earlier. 730pm-11pm 

I think New to Thursday night 3rd floor above kemchicks Kemang not sure of times.

 Friday nights amigos Kemang 9pm till late (more casual night but busy) Saturday nights Burgundy bar grand Hyatt. 930pm till late And think ritz carlton mega kun also now does Saturday nights. How it seems to work most places is if your partner doesn't salsa you need to find an instructor who you pay to dance with you for the night. My friends and I usually go as a group and hire our regular instructor for the night. Occasionally you get a few men looking for the odd dance but generally you need to hire a male dance partner. Cost of an instructor for the night usually Rp500-750 plus drinks (usually non alcoholic) I'm sure we'll meet in the salsa circuit.

Budget would be around (USD1000 - 1500 per month).

Many thanks in advance and hope to hear from you soon!

Recommendations for salons that do eyelash extensions

Hi Kelly and Lara,
Thanks for your invaluable blog!

Just wondering if you had any recommendations for salons that do eyelash extensions (gluing individual lashes onto one's natural lashes?).
I know that Browhaus in Senayan City does it, and I've seen signs up at salons elsewhere but I'd like to know if there are specific places that you know do a good job?
Thanks! PD

HI PD,

You can try Alfons Salon. Call first to request specific appointment for this particular service. Thus far I've heard good things about the extensions and they charge approximately 300,000 IDR. Takes about 1.5 hours for full set.

Their number is:

021 722 0416.

Moving to Jakarta

Hi Ladies

I will be relocating to Jakarta in the next 6 months and would like to join Expat Ladies and charity organizations.
Can you recommend any.

We are also looking for accommodation near shopping and other recreational facilities. Any nice town house complexes you can recommend. We looked at the Kemang Club Villas. Is this near shopping malls ?

Look forward to see Jakarta and experience the lifestyle and to make new friends.

Greetings
Dalene
(South Africa)

Hi Dalene
There are many associations in Jakarta you can get involved in or join. It's a matter of popping in or joining their coffee mornings to see how you feel. Often people click with a certain association upon meeting and chatting to a few members. I'm involved with ANZA (Australia & NZ assoc) which accepts all nationalities. The British Women's Association is another one of the larger associations and then there's American, German, Canadian, Spanish speaking and the list goes on. You've got plenty to choose from and a lot of people join more than one association. They all are great social networks and most have social welfare divisions doing hands on charity work.

As for housing complexes there are a few factors you should consider before deciding where to live. Traffic is a biggie here so factors such as do you have children and if so which school will they go to or where does your spouse work. You don't want to have to spend more time than necessary in the car. Shopping malls are everywhere pretty much so it's more important to be near work or a school. Or somewhere in the middle if work and schools not close.

You need to come and then find a good agent who can find you something within your budget. Complexes are great but always plus and minus with any housing you need to consider.

There are not a lot of complexes with facilities you'd expect like club houses etc. The few I know are older but fine. There are more compounds that are gated houses without clubhouse facilities. A lot of people have stand alone housing here but then you do need your own security which is often provided by your company and very common.

I would suggest when you get to Jakarta go along to some coffee mornings meet some expats to chat about where it is best to live and ask for recommendations for a good agent to help you find what you're after.

Good luck and I will probably run into you in a couple of months.

Volunteering

Hello Kelly and Lara,
I've just moved to Jakarta with my partner. I am looking for good
organisations to volunteer with, however I am having trouble finding
relevant organisations online. I have emailed Australian organisations
with a presence here but so far have no leads. I have a background in
gender issues and so would like to work with women's equity or health
organisations. Where do I start? Can you possibly recommend any
women's organisations or social equity umbrella organisations that can
point me in the right direction?

Thank you
KC

Hi KC
I know there are plenty of NGO's here in Jakarta but not sure who would be best to contact. I'll ask around for you.

If you wanted to volunteer on a smaller scale you could go thru the social welfare divisions of the women's associations who are involved with local hands in projects that include orphanages, under privilege schools, etc. they are usually happy to have a helping hand.

Try British women's Association, Anza or American women's assoc. or try contacting your embassy to see if they have an aid project that you can get involved in.

Will get back to you when I get some more info.

Club Store/Grand Lucky
Kawasan Niaga Terpadu Sudirman (SCBD)

Gourmet World in Kemang (above Ranch Market) and Koi in Kemang can create a gluten free meal for you but ask to speak to the chef first.

There are no gluten free breads here in Jakarta that I am aware of but you can pick up a variety of flours at Kem Chicks or Grand Lucky and make your own. Brown Rice Paradise in Singapore has a vast variety of items including breads in the frozen food section so if you are planning a trip over, stop by and do some shopping there.
