How much?
IDK yet. Her brother, who lives close to the house, has told us it's probably worth $250K USD now. A lot for Jakarta, but it's a big house in a nice area. We are going early next year to make some repairs, then put it for sale. Her maid is living in it right now and maintaining it, but it needs some work because my wife has not lived there for 20 years

I'm hoping I don't have a kid I've never met.

That’s disgustingly crowded.
Posted on 12/1/25 at 4:07 pm to RollTide1987
Didn't that used to be spelled Djakarta?
Posted on 12/1/25 at 4:08 pm to RollTide1987
I bet that place smells absolutely terrible.

Sabbatical is a really good travel vlogger. It's a toss up between him and Bald and Bankrupt as to my favorite.
Not gonna lie, Jakarta was much nicer than I expected.

They have no spatial awareness and build cities like momos.
