Tips and Advice on Indonesia from Your Fellow South African Expats
Obviously, expat life in Indonesia goes well beyond shipping your belongings and taking care of red tape. Socializing with fellow South Africans is an important facet of living abroad and can be a huge stepping stone in getting to know the Indonesian mentality and way of life. South Africans in Indonesia are a part of our community, calling cities such as Medan, Semerang, Jakarta, and many others home. You can use InterNations to look for fellow South Africans in Jakarta, for example.

It's a really helpful site: Via InterNations, we found an international playgroup for our kids (6 and 8 years old) here in Jakarta.
