Relocating to a foreign country can be a daunting process. Not only are family and loved ones left behind, but also a familiar way of life. Therefore, it is important for the expatriate to seek out like-minded people in his new country of residence and form new friends and communities to help assimilate into the Indonesian way of life.
Below is a list of some of these communities & clubs.
