I would like to think even at a tourist level any reasonable observation of human behavior could see that people here see us as a ways and means towards their existence. I met a girl, had a date once and she lost interest very quickly after learning I wouldn't pay her last months rent and look after her kid.
And Bali, well I was treated 100 % differently between the first time when I did a drinking holiday with other bules to the 2nd where I took a Javanese girl with me. The snide, sarcastic rudeness of these people shone through. So much for the balinese being lovely people with good hearts. |

I wonder what type of 'International School' recruits people without relevant qualifications and/or experience.
There are several types of IS depending on your definition, there are good ones and bad ones. I don't fancy yours much 
Regardless, I do hope you manage to stay there longer than a few weeks this time. And I hope you don't feel intimidated by the ladies who are not as free-thinking as yourself, but possess the relevant qualifications and experience to do their job. |

if this was the case, why did you take the job in jakarta??...you should have already known that it was not to your liking. i have no problem with newcomers expressing their opinions here, but from what you are typing on this forum, i have to question your real knowledge of bali and how "great" it really is. personally, i hope bali suits you but you seemed a bit one-dimensional with your jakarta bashing and you will find some of the same things in bali.....i have found that "picky" people in indonesia don't tend to do well here................good luck |

Yes, indeed. 'gado_gado' will still have to deal with those hated escalators even in his Bali paradise. |
