What language do they speak, and will they keep up my Social Security and Medicare for me?

@roger,
when is this happening?
When I worked in Indonesia I recall our guys spoke something called Sundanese. And they had trouble in several areas out from our main digs. The Phillipines was easier since everyone had a working knowledge of Spanish.

You doing wellfield work? I noted that they were beginning thir own "Fracking" programs except they use seawater.

Lotta people there. Some, not so nice. Most are very great.
OH YEH, youre gonna have to learn to dicker FOR EVERYTHING. The rule was that you never pay more than 1/2 the asked price. Good dickerers get down to 30% , but I didn't have patience and besides, I hadda fill out expense sheets for everybody .

You will appreciate how the sea is around everything and how hot is hot and humid, although any mountain ridge feels like LA

That's interesting. The Sunda Strait is the body of water that lies between the islands of Sumatra and Java, the two largest and westernmost of the islands of Indonesia.

@Setanta,
and the Wallace line doesn't go through the Sunda straits , its in between Bali and Lombok and through the Macassar straits.
Theres oil from Timor to Northern Sumatra and I hear that fracking Is gonna be hot stuff as they try to goose more out of the deeper rock. I hope they don't **** up what has some still pristine jungle an mountain valleys, in an otherwise densely populated area of the world

@farmerman,
If I can't get there by car, I ain't gonna go. Anyhow, I'm already in New Mexico, so why would I want to travel?

@roger,
we can put your car in the back of C5-A , you can actually drive around inside the cargo bay.Youll get frequent flyer miles nd youll be able to charge your client for mileage.

@farmerman,
Won't work. Add mileage when you drive forward, but you have to subtract when you drive to the middle of the plane. It's like driving and returning home. On average, the entire trip was on perfectly level ground.

@roger,
with something like a Mini, you could drive in circles in a C5-A.

I think you should move to Mozambique instead because it has z, b, q, and TWO m's. Jakarta only had J and k of interest.

@JPB,
But everyone else around her seems to be asking about Jakarta. Why, I almost feel like going out for a Western Breakfast.
