Arts & culture events in Jakarta

(Arif) Hi Miree, after nearly 11 years living in the US, I am returning to Jakarta soon for work. For starters, I'd really like to attend events like classical music concerts, jazz concerts, foreign embassy events, museum exhibits, etc. What's the best way to find out about these things? Also, what are some interesting places to go to/things to do during the day? I know this is a very general question, but basically I don't want to do things other than go to the malls, watch movies, or eat.Your help is much appreciated.Best,Arif

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.

Where to buy bean bag

(Mara) Dear Miree, Could you tell me if its possible to buy a bean bag in Jakarta, the sort of thing you sit and slouch around on.Thank you in anticipation.

(Miree) Hi Mara, haven't seen many around Jakarta, but do know that Bed'n'Bathin the Hero Kemang shopping complex have some really cute bean bags covered in fake fur, colors available are pink, black & cream. The only other places I would suggest that you look in would be in the more modern type furniture & accessory shops. Happy searching.

Tatto in Jakarta

(Lizzie)hey miree,i was wondering if you knew of any places to get cheap but clean tattoos, i live in Pondok Indah so as near to that as possible would help. At the moment I know of Buyung Tattoo Studio in kemang but im not sure if its any good.
Any places in mind?thanks

(Miree) Hi, only one have had good feedback from in Jakarta is " Express Tattoo"in Kemang satu Number 72 in front of X-Splash. A bit of advice though for anywhere you are getting permanent tattoos done, always make sure they use new needles and watch them take them out of the sterile packs. Also ask for new paint pots and check that tattooist wears gloves. Cheers, Miree.
