Karawaci and part time maid

(Sandy) Hi Miree, We are relatively new to Indonesia (7 months) and we live in Lippo Karawaci. I have a couple of questions I am hoping you can answer.
Could you recommend a massage place that does actual remedial/sports massage inor near Karawaci? We have a part time maid (she works Mon to Fri 7.30am to 2pm, does not live in). When we go on leave, say for 3 weeks, do we still pay her even though she isnot coming to the house to work?

(Miree) Dear Sandy, Thank you for your email.You can find alot infomation about karawaci in this website http://www.karawaci.info/ and they have list of spa places in this link http://www.karawaci.info/component/option,com_mtree/task,listcats/cat_id,111/Itemid,/Regarding your issue - I would suggest you pay your part time maid on daily basis or weekly basis. So in this case you won't necessary to pay her when you are away. I hope these answers help! Regards

resorts or spas near jakarta

(Liz) Hi Miree, We have visitors coming from Australia to visit us in early November andthey have expressed the desire to go away from Jakarta for a few days toa "spa or resort" . Do you know of anything that would fit that bill. Iguess they are not really thinking about anything "indonesian" likepuncak or anyer but something more 'international'. Hope you can help

(Miree) Dear Liz, Thank you for your email. I would suggest you to take your guests to first class programs of alternating vigorous exercise and relaxing spa treatments are delivered with a unique Indonesian flair. This Indonesian custom makes you feel instantly at home and yet far away; wrapped in the exotic cultures of Java. http://www.javanaspa.co.id/ or Losari Coffee Plantation Resort & Spa http://www.losari.info/ These place are famous among Jakarta expatriates for getaway holiday. Goodluck! Miree

Looking for suitable venue to hold a get-together

(Randy) Hi Miree, Just wondering if you would be able to provide me with some information on the following. The Association of Sri Lankans in Indonesia (ASLI) is planning to have a get-together towards the end of October and we are now looking for a suitabable venue. The number of persons attending would be around 75 - 100, including children. Therefore, ideally it should be a function hall (preferably with some open-air/garden space) where we could arrange our own catering and bar services, musical entertainment etc.. So what we are looking for is just the rental of the place (including> tables/chairs/crockery/cutlery and other basics) for a Saturday night.> The preferred location is South Jakarta, in or around Kemang. Any suggestions? Look forward to hear from you. Thanks and regards,Randy
