Living in Jakarta:
is 80% Heaven and 20% Hell.
My concern and yours is with the 20%.
While in Jakarta if you have ever felt lonely, bored, frustrated, envious, rejected, inadequate, unwanted, cynical or depressed then welcome to the club: You are perfectly normal as everyone else who has lived in Jakarta has experienced some or all of those emotions. Such mood changes are temporary and of no consequence. Should the mood changes persist or become troublesome to you or to your family then seek professional help.
Inevitably there will be problems when a small group of people of varying interests and backgrounds is thrown together in close personal association and isolated from their mainstream home country society for a year or more.
The following information and personal assessment of Jakarta living is to give you an understanding of why life in Jakarta causes these difficulties and how to deal with those difficulties more effectively.
You will see on reflection that most of what follows is largely nothing new to you.
Most importantly remember we are only dealing with the 20%.
