"By 1955 approximately two-thirds of Europe's oil passed through the canal. About 7.5% of world sea trade is carried via the canal today. In 2008, a total of 21,415 vessels passed through the canal and the receipts from the canal totaled $5.381 billion.Average cost per-ship is roughly $250,000.00"

Man, o poor soul what they did to you, of course not you can't live alone in a foreign country that's dangerous. You have to talk to your parents what's wrong, or if they are bad call the police.
2 :
It's better to get your parents' or guidance consent. No one knows basically but for your own safety's sake, it's not good to be on your own at such a young age as you need plenty of advice and guidance as you deal with your day to day.

minors cannot rent, cannot work, cannot sign contracts, cannot open and manage a bank account. nope, you cant. start working, get a very good education and when you turn 18, find a job in indonesia. not some easy job that every indonesian can get. its not polite to steal a workplace. you need a good job, like a nurse or get yourself a van or a truck and do deliveries as self-employed. but you'll need to speak the local language. thats the easiest way to migrate. unless if you are rich. can you get like $50.000? you could apply for malaysian "my second home" program. every country also has a visa for people that buy property. to live like this in thailand you would need a minimum of $200.000 for a house (or apartment) and some extra money to support yourself/or a job. yes, modern life is screwed, especially when social services arent doing anything and let kids to live with sociopaths, like it happened with baby P. but until the leaders in geneva or UN headquarters in new york come with a new human right like getting a new guardian by choice (and not when major domestic violence happens), or more relaxed migration, you will have to wait until you are 18. where are those times when you simply moved? stuck back in 18th century.

no. you couldn't fly there without a letter from them, and there would be no work for you. this is the only job i can think of where you can be away from your parents: http://www.nwyouthcorps.org/

Yes, they do... here, the agency is the Central Bank of Indonesia. When you apply for a credit card or anything that needs loaning, the loaner will check your name in the Central Bank of Indonesia - *every* registered individual have one registry in it - for a bad record. They also do have the "blacklist", with which the loaner may consider highly not to give out your loan. People that are added to the blacklist includes people who over-limit their credit card, and could not pay, or people with a criminal record. So just be good, pay your card and fulfill your taxes, and be nice to people!

if career as musician is really hard to make money, then why so many people still want to be a musician?

if career as musician is really hard to make money, then why so many people still want to be a musician?
I've just talked with a friend of mine, he had just started to pursue a Solo carer , because he loves music very much, just like me, but unfortunately, and rather sadly, just this afternoon, he poured all his heart that , as I quoted from him, "being musician in indonesia is just f*ckin hard & doesn't make sense! it's just so dirty often, and hard to get recognized, and with piracy running rampant, greedy labels, very low purchasing-power from still-poor people in the mainstream, etc etc" , and he's even thinking of just concentrating in the business-aspect , not the artistic-side anymore in the music "industry". He's planning to just start a label & draw new artists,....instead of following his TRUE passion to become a full-time musician! so then, i start asking myself this: if career as musician is really hard to make money, then why so many people still want to be a musician ?? why? what do you think? do you think these people (musicians) are probably just 'naive' people who don't know that it's a cruel cruel world in a music, no, actually, music-business world. 'cuz often there're more to it than only making good & creative tunes. this i've unfortunately & pitifully learned at least in my corrupt country, Indonesia, where sadly, music is just another corrupt tool. and that's why no wonder a lot of musicians/bands are just poor, & even some really great/talented ones is lacking so much appreciations from mainstream people, instead, many people generally only prefer for 'stupid' songs/music as long with good looks, and many other artificial/fake things! and i'm sure the situation is no different even in advanced countries like U.S, Europe, Japan, etc. many people are just plain stupid, don't understand 'good music' from 'bad music' , and most big-players in the so-called "music-business" are all crooked and greedy, all they think is only money, not enhancing/supporting their artists/bands!! with all of these sad things above, i've recently often wondered & kept wondering, is there still any point for any person, no matter how talented or even multi-talented or passionate he/she is at music, to pursue career as a musician (and espcially, FULL-time musician) ? are they just out of their mind? but the Reality seems to speak differently: there are surprisingly an increasing amount of musicians (ie: bands, usually "indie" bands)! why is this? what is the reasons for they kept wanting to be a musician?

Some people think musicians are dumb, and are just doing it because they couldn't succeed anywhere else. Not true. Musicians know what they're getting themselves into because it's tough from the very beginning. If they couldn't deal with it, they'd stop before they even finished writing their first song, so you know any musician who's made it big has pushed through a lot. It takes a long time to be able to pay for your life as a musician. Just because a band or an artist got a record deal does not mean they're rich. Musicians go into the music industry well aware of the risks, because it's what they love. They have a lot of passion and powerful ideas and want to share their work with the public. They searching for a connection, someone who can tell them they feel the same. And they love performing. It's all for the love of the craft. Ask any artist of any variety, and they'll all tell you life as an artist isn't easy. Not all musicians are looking for money. They know that's not always guaranteed. They just want to pursue what they love.
