Expats In Jakarta Hati-Hati


Expatriates In Jakarta - Beware Of This Woman!!
Back in April this year I was the victim of a huge scam. The women you see if the picture is responsible for stealing over 70 million rupiah from me. (That's about $10,000 Australian dollars.) I want the world to know what an evil, calculating, immoral low life she is. She purported herself to be connected to the Australian Embassy and Indonesian immigration and I engaged her to help me procure a legitimate passport for my son - who is Indonesian. All she did was lie and take the money. Beware anyone who has dealings with her. She is a thief and liar. I believe in karma and although I feel great hatred towards her for taking away a dream and stealing my money, I know that she will not gain anything positive from it. Alerting anyone else she may prey on and thinking how my money will bring her bad luck for the rest of her life, is all the retribution I need.

Welcome To My World!


Living near the jungle in the middle of nowhere gives you lots of time to think. I don't even have a telephone at my house apart from an unreliable cell phone network. This will be my venue for ranting about everything. Photography is a passion. So is painting when the mood strikes me. This is an infra-red image of the view from my back balcony on the island of Sumbawa, Indonesia - where I have lived for seven years.
