Will Indonesia become part of the new Axis of Evil?
They are keen to be very close friends with China, Iran and Russia and their military is really quite independent to the government, making money from illegal activities and businesses. Also today: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7493829.stm

Half the countries in the world are like this

Aside from the real terrorist sitting in the White House.... Indonesians for the moment are fairly peaceable people, but if we ever really set them off somehow, and they ever really got hostile, and wanted to jihad, believe me, all 300 million or so of them would show us a brand new definition of terrorism
3 :
I doubt it. Despite their "questionable" ties, Indonesia is one of the more secular countries in which Islam is the prevalent religion. Granted there have been some terrorist actions throughout the country, but these have been rare in juxtaposition to similar circumstanced countries. Corruption within the government there may be a problem but the people of Indonesia have a strong sense of democracy and a respect for the rule of law. They are also fairly pro American view and their sense of democratic fairness (the people's) aligns our two nations closer than most people think. Moreover, the U.S. participation in tsunami relief a few years back has exalted our status among their people. I do not think Indonesia will become an enemy of the United States and I feel they will remain a key ally.

Fighting against Indonesia would be a nightmare: Trudging around in muddy Vietnam style rainforests while being attacked by suicide bombers.....300 million pissed off Muslims ....Al Qaeda would learn jungle warfare/terrorism and join the war.....there would be decapitations....it would be hell.....every island would be a battle....and there are many islands........Doesn't the U.S. have enough problems?

Has anyone booked a honeymoon to Bali Indonesia using a local travel agent in and around San Diego, CA?
Has anyone booked a honeymoon to Bali Indonesia using a local travel agent in and around San Diego, CA?
Hello world. I am looking to book a honeymoon for early September 2011 to Bali Indonesia. I am looking for a trust worthy travel agent in the San Diego area. Can anyone recommend a good agency? This trip is going to be pretty expensive so I want to ensure that I am getting the most for my money. Any tips or pointers would be greatly appreciated! Ideally we want a honeymoon villa at a really nice resort such as The Four Seasons in Ubud, Bali. Is it possible to make this happen for under $5k?

its pretty easy to book your accom and flights online - I don't remember the last time I even used an Agent. I can recomend this place in Ubud - Warwick Ibah in ubud - stunning here's the link to wotif - very safe. have used wotif for years - they have specials so check back regularly. Flights - look around online http://www.wotif.com/hotel/View?hotel=W49739&page=1&viewType=all&adults=0&children=0&child1Age=1&child2Age=1&child3Age=1&child4Age=1&child5Age=1&child6Age=1&child7Age=1&child8Age=1&child9Age=1 I reckon for $5000 is way enough - you will be living like Kings and Queens as Bali is pretty cheap in general - good value

Going on honeymoon is a splendid way to add zing to travel. There are lots of site that provides sepcial package. You can look out cheap multi-stop flights, which will allow adventurous honeymooners explore different places. Here are few sites which will be best for you cheap package. www.cheapticket.co.uk/ www.airticket.co.uk/

These days a Travel agent just adds expense to your budget. Booking your own flights and hotels on line will save you big bucks. but you can check out both. Try kahalatravel.com they are right in SD. (I went to SDS) and have helped me out once or twice but that was before I started doing all my own bookings. Hotels in Bali/Ubud The Sayan Terrace Resort is definitely not budget but really worth the price. Built down the wall of a much larger valley with stunning views. It is bordered by The 4 Seasons and The Amandari hotels that routinely charge $500 plus a night. The Sayan Terrace is around $150 and worth twice as much. I can not stress how cool this place is. The type of place you would want to go on your honeymoon. Check it out Sayanterraceresort.com for air tickets etc. check out this site and their Asian Air pass. it will give you many choices and allow other stops if you so desire. Starting price for RT is $1099 (plus taxes I think) http://www.airtimetable.com/airpass_asia… There are some very cool fares here and Cathay Pacific is a great airline. You could fly to Hong Kong and then Denpasar or vice versa. Sooo many choices. Also. I do a Cheat sheet that is not commercial and its free. This is just things that I have learned and places that I have found in thirty years of going to Bali. Aslocran@yahoo.com its free of course but it is to big for this forum. So check out both. do the agency thing for getting an idea on prices and then spend some time online and see if you can do better. Also Airtreks is a great service out of San Fran. and their web site is helpful. http://www.airtreks.com/

Do liberals know that private citizens may send their money to Greece, like we did for Indonesia?
Please tell me, why must we send EVERYONE'S tax dollar to Greece because you feel bad for that country? What is it about being a liberal that makes it so hard to just give....all on your own? It never "comes around" henry...and you still didn't explain why you can't send money on a private basis. David, two questions on this just a few minutes ago. Look em up. Gerald...the painful question that all liberals evade is the last one...why can't you just give on a private basis?

Why wouldn't you WANT your country as a representative of your morals to provide aid, does that NOT demonsstrate that Americans take the Moral high ground? What better way to polish the image of our nation of it's been sullied by the Bushites for the last 6 1/2 years

It is called humanitarianism, something you don't understand. One country helps another and then when that country needs help the other returns the favor. Just like good neighbors and friends do. It beats being selfish. Remember what goes around comes around. Do unto others that which you would wish done to you in the same situation.
4 :
Who has said we should send Greece tax money? I think you may have made that up. PS: I've looked for the posts and haven't found them. They also weren't in the international organizations forum. Can you provide the link? PPS: I think everybody knows you can send money privately any time you want through a charitable organization.
5 :
The US never gives foreign aid without expecting either political or economic favor in return, that's what foreign aid is all about, humanitarianism has little to do with it. You can't blame the liberals on this one, as it's the policy of conservatives as well, have you ever heard of a place called Iraq? One other thing, as a percentage of GDP, the United States gives the least amount of foreign aid among the 22 most developed nations in the world and you can look that up.

Hi friend...nice to meet u. Well, that questions depends on where u are going to stay. If u say that cost is for spending in Bali, well, may be u can but u have to stay in a very minimised place. so be more specific which part of Indonesia did u mean. Regards from Bali.
2 :
of course yes, i mean to fulfill the standard of living in Indonesia. yes of course, since life in Indonesia isn't very expensive though. hope this will help :)
3 :
Who told you about such an amount? Friends in Indonesia live in Jakarta. They are 5 people. The family income is about 5 million Rupiah ( only one person is working as director at a puplic school). The three kids study at universities ( in Indonesia people have to pay a lot of money, to send kids to a good school). They own 2 houses, the houshold is well equipped. They eat best food every day. They have a car and a motor bike. Simply means, with more than 12 millions you would live like a king.

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.
3 :
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.

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!
