But I would say, find the area...Well, we got lucky. But I would say, find the area you want to live in, preferably close to work so you don't have to sit in traffic jams all day. Then wander around asking about places for rent. If you don't speak good Indonesian, bring someone who does. So many places that are available have no "For Rent" sign. We saw a ton of places, mostly houses, and a lot of them were not that expensive. You'll probably end up having to buy some furniture, but if you get cheap stuff you'll still come out ahead. <BR/><BR/>And of course, ask everybody you meet whether they know about a good cheap place to live.<BR/><BR/>What brings you to Jakarta? Do you have any interest in the Pejompongan area, where we live? I'd be glad to walk around with you if you'd like to get a feel for the neighborhood.Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16218984943813920951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22419242.post-76991324806428902562007-10-28T14:43:00.000+07:002007-10-28T14:43:00.000+07:00Hey, I just moved to Jakarta and was going through...Hey, I just moved to Jakarta and was going through your old blog posts, laughing at the similarity of our first experiences (staying in one of the many Jalan Jaksa hotels, pratically living in the wartel/internet place down the road), and saw that you managed to find a decent looking apt in the $300-$400 range within the first week! How did you do that? On my brief (and unfulfiling) apartment search so far, there is nothing within that price range and expat forums are pretty useless too. If you have any suggestions, that will be great!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22419242.post-8900216511634095242007-10-27T12:22:00.000+07:002007-10-27T12:22:00.000+07:00you have my mailing addressyou have my mailing addressalwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00526260124829895749noreply@blogger.com
