Retiring in Indonesia

Merry Christmas and a fair 2017 to all Silverhairs

As am conversant with Bahasa Indonesia having worked a short stint and On,Off a continual visitor since

19Seventy Eight plus having an Indon family now for nearly two years residing in Palembang after moving from Bandar Lampung(southernmost Sumatra), I am retiring abroad in 2019/20. But am seriously considering other subaurban locality as being aware of assertive awakening of Race & Religion beginning to increasingly appear in urban areas.

Like all Sporean spouses maintaining Asean wives, we are very fortunate that due to the continually strengthening of the Spore Dollar against other Asean currencies since 1999/2000, we do not need more than One Thousand Spore dollars for monthly upkeeping. Yours truly alternate monthly remittance of Six,Seven million Rupiah beginning this year from initial year Two Thousand of One million,one and a half million Rupiah, comparably with exchange in October’2000 @$213.00 per One million Rupiah to two weeks ago @$108.70 per One million Rupiah. In mid-November last year, the Rupiah dropped to its lowest @$102.60 per One million rupiah.
