I have visited Indonesia several times. I love the country, culture and people of Indonesia and am proud to have a sister-in-law and stepmom who are native Indonesians. Wish I could live and work there. I’m David’s sister, Pam, and I accidentally found this site when researching where he’s working. I have visited Indonesia several times.

I spent about 3 years working in the Persian Gulf (land and offshore), and we had a group of Indonesians come to help in Saudi. The rude, arrogant guys wouldn't get a lick of work out of the Indonesian guys. But respectful, polite guys (a group I'd like to think I belong to) would get a fabulous job done by the Indos. It was a pleasure working with them, and to see just how innovative and clever those guys are, especially in the middle of the desert.

Typical response from an ignorant western oilfield hand. I live in Bali and work for a drilling contractor soon to move our rig to work for Conoco offshore Natuna. Southeast Asian in general put on the act of slow and worthless to people that act and believe themselves to be superior. Think yourself superior and they will show you how little help you will get from them. These people are capable and will work circles around any crew of fellow country men from the USA that I had the displeasure of working with a couple of years ago back in the US. All I do is treat the Indos with a little respect and work them using thier own cultural hiarchy as a supervisory standard and they perform beautifully. These people are clever, crafty and industrius. If the only positive experience you got out of your trip was sexual tourism Justin, you missed out big time. Jakarta is the armpit of Indonesia and only offers a minute portion of what Indonesia has to offer as a whole. Thanks for your review Jackson and identifying Matak as yet another Indonesian jewel. Try Bali if you get a chance. Many foriegners that do figure out ways to return to Bali more or even move there for good as I did. I couldn’t disagree with Justin more.

I have recently spent time in Matak and Jakarta and I have never seen an Indonesian get in a hurry to do a damn thing except eat. They are the slowest and most worthless people I have ever met. I only have respect for massage "therapist" who helped me forget about the rest of the retarded country.
