If you
want to work abroad, the country that comes to your mind? Well, if you want to
work in one of the Asian countries, what country would you choose?
Perhaps you immediately pictured Singapore, Tokyo, South Korea, Hong Kong or Malaysia. In some
ways these countries is attractive to foreign workers, for example, many
multinational companies have regional offices in Tokyo, Singapore or Hong Kong.
Salaries and allowances offered perhaps also quite high. However, Indonesia
will eventually become a haven for expatriates.
There are
many foreign executives or expatriates who want to extend their working lives in Indonesia.
Some things unique and interesting for foreign workers, among others:
2. Can buy
an additional car for the wife, and paying a driver.
3. Many
golf courses in Jakarta and surrounding areas, as well as in other cities, and
on weekends to play golf with a fee that is much cheaper than in South Korea,
Singapore and Hong Kong especially Japan.
4.
Indonesia has many holidays’ national holidays especially Moslems, especially
Indonesia is a diverse country with different religions. Indonesian government
has recently added a national holiday, the International Labor Day. You will
have plenty of opportunity to vacation in Bali or other cities in Indonesia
with a low cost plane, staying in hotels or luxury villas in various tourist
destinations such as Yogyakarta, Bandung, Lombok, and especially Bali.

5. Indonesia
is famous for the culinary tour with a diverse menu, and of course at a price
cheaper than cities like Singapore, Hong Kong, especially if you compare it to
lunch in Japan.
If you are holiday in Jakarta, please visit shopping malls such as
Pondok Indah Mall, Plaza Senayan, Grand Indonesia or mall in Kuta beach, Bali, and
then you will find many wives of expatriates. They come with the kids or
friends (wife of fellow expatriates) were enjoying a cappuccino, coffee luwak,
or local and international food with a happy face. After that they can choose
the clothes, handbags, famous branded perfumes and bring a cart of groceries

7. If you
do not receive benefits from the home office , especially for foreign teachers
to teach English , then you can rent a room or renting an apartment are also at
a low price, depending on the features you need.
8. If your
wife is tired of shopping and a bite to eat at a restaurant or cafe, they can
work part-time as a teacher of English, French or Japanese, so you can be the
native language courses in different places, and they also had the opportunity
to learn Indonesian free. Other activities such as joining with non-profit
organizations and social activities can even learn to cook, learn yoga, and
join a fitness club that is definitely cheaper than in the U.S. or Europe, as
well as a spa club in the country.

furniture or art objects such as hunting paintings, sculptures and so at
attractive prices and you can take it home if you have already completed the
employment contract.

are reluctant to return to your country, then you can apply in other major
companies in Indonesia for business and economic growth in this country grow
higher than in the U.S. and Europe, which is still slow.

I also
found a lot of expatriates from South Korea finally choosing to settle in
Indonesia to work in other Korean companies or they set up their own company,
for example, makes the plant such as clothing, shoes, accessories or Korean
restaurant, mini market which sells specialty foods and beverages Korea.
Indonesia
is a fascinating country to make the company in all areas and they have skilled
labor, so if you have enough savings you can set up IT companies such as online
stores, or other businesses such as travel agencies, restaurants, garment,
business consultants and so on.
If you are
young, work experience and a diploma from a college or university, you can
apply for jobs directly to a multi-national company with offices in Indonesia,
or send your cover letter and resume to the portal that offers job
opportunities, or you choose a head hunter who have a network in Indonesia. The
country is a democratic country and friendly to foreigners.
