Private Tutor

(Lyana) I stumbled upon your blog by accident. What a great blog and very helpful too.
I'm Indonesian and a true Jakartan but I think you actually beat my knowledge of Jakarta!

My name is Lyana and I'm 26 years old. I am currently also self employed as tutor for maths and English and other subjects. My students are usually expat children in national/international schools also college students who wants to prepare in TOEFL/IBT.

Well, I guess this is all for now. I hope you have a good day. Keep up the good work with your blog! Regards personal_ly@yahoo.com

Curious about the Scottish Fest

(Ulfa) Hello, Miree! How d'ya do? First of all, I'm glad to have found your address after a rigorous search in the net about Jakarta Highland Gathering 2009's schedule which I haven't been able to find so far. Anyway, I'm Ulfa residing in Jakarta Selatan and a university student majoring English Letters. I'd love to come to and participate in any cultural events held by any international communities in Jakarta in order to improve my English speaking ability.^_^. and, of course, to get more friends and broaden my horizon about other cultures. The thing is that I often miss such events cause I don't have any reliable sources to inform me about the international agenda going around here, like the Jakarta Highland Gathering 2009. I heard that it would be held on Sunday, May 24, 2009, but it's still not confirmed yet. So, would you please help me getting information on that and other events? Thank you for your big help. Warm regards, Ulfa

(Miree) Dear Ulfa, please visit www.WhatsNewJakarta.com to find all English speaking upcoming events. About Highland Gathering 2009 - last time we heard it still being postponed. Happy networking! Cheers, Miree

Looking for Companion for my Dog

(John) Hi Miree, I am looking for a companion for my dog who spends all day alone. I am loathe to go out and buy a new dog because I am sure that there are many expats who are leaving the country and cant face putting their pet through a long and elaborate quarantine process to their next destination. Do you know how I can best go about finding a nice family pet who has to stay on in Indonesia and would make a great companion for my 2 year old Beagle. Many thanks

(Miree) Hi John, try this website - http://jakartaanimalaid.com/blog/about-jaan/ , as they have a lot of dogs given to them by expats who can’t or don’t want to take their dogs with them when they leave Indonesia. The woman’s associations also post notices for members, but unless you are a member you won’t get the info. If I hear of anyone that has a four legged family member they want placed will let you know. Good luck in finding a friend for Dougal, Cheers, Miree.
