Lab For Develop Film

(Jill) Hi Miree, How's things? hope you can help me out of a pickle here.
Do you know any photo lab that develops 110mm film?
This is alot smaller than the usual 35 mm and medium format 120mm films...
Really hope you have answers! Regards, J

(Melbourne) Ooooh, 110 film may be a problem. There is a lab named Standar Photo Lab near Chinatown that may be worth trying. 021 630 2626

Dentist

(Dean) Hi Miree, I'm inquiring about getting some dental work done, 3 implants while i am in Jakarta with my wife and son. I have have had one quote and it was very expensive as i am yet to do some hunting around on this one and wondering if you knew any dentists for me.

(Miree) Hi Dean, implant & crown work here is expensive. I know of several friends here that went to Bangkok, as worked out cheaper even with an airfare & accommodation included. You could enquire with Dr Marissa the Global Doctors Dentist in Kemang Raya, as she may be able to recommend someone good and reasonably priced if she doesn’t do this type of work herself. Regards, Miree

Jewelry Repair

(Rebekah) Good Afternoon Miree, I'm wondering if you can help with a question regarding jewelry repair. I bought a brand-new necklace the other day, and just as I was putting it on the clasp broke. Is there anywhere in Jakarta that would be able to do some jewelry repair work? I thought maybe someone in the local malls, ambassador, etc. but I don't know where to start looking.

(Miree) Hi Rebekah, Plaza Melawai in Blok M have several small jewelry stores on the ground floor that will mend all sorts of jewelry, watches etc…. and prices are very good. Regards, Miree

Reputable Dealerships

(Michelle) Hi Miree, I'm an expat who is preparing to return home after 2 years living in Jakarta. I originally bought my car through a private sale, and I'm looking for some reputable dealerships in order to sell my car before I depart. Do you have any suggestions? Cheers

(Miree) Hi Michelle, Please try to put an ads in KOMPAS newspaper.
You will get very fast response from there but better you get assistance from local friend. Make sure you receive the payment before you give the car away and make the buyer come to you. Good luck

Special permits?

(Yenti) Hi Miree, I accidentally stumbled your blog and found it very helpful. Thank
you I had just moved from Montreal to Jakarta. I used to work as a pastry chef in an Italian Restaurant. I am thinking about being a private chef for locals and expats. I am just wondering if there is a special permit needed for this. Thank you

(Miree) Hi Yenti, non Indonesian citizens by Indonesian law have to have a KITAS ( 12 month resident & work permit) to work here. You would need to find a restaurant that would be prepared to sponsor you for a work permit. Good luck in finding something, regards, Miree.
