@bigpearlI often wonder if you (Fred) have as much fun on the Indonesian °µÍø½ûÇø sites.It's slightly more enthralling than watching paint dry. Occasionally our British °µÍø½ûÇø friend Wyngrove pops up to echo Freds hallowed opinions. Bless. Read More

The US wants in on QRIS by Fred
QRIS is an extremely popular, safe, and easy way to pay for pretty much anything in Indonesia.It's so popular, a lot of shops and restaurants hardly use anything else. You still see the odd card payment, but most are QRIS.Many places have gone ...

@FredYes I have both Grab & Gojek but as you say I seem to recall I could not top up the Gopay account. Am I missing something or are all non Indonesian citizens caught in this cash only farce? Read More
