Don't ever send your personal effects to Jakarta...unless you want to spend truckloads of money to get it back and waste your time hanging out in abandoned looking offices with gangsters and lowly types. It's a money-making racket here and a scheme to extract as much as possible from innocent types who only want their belongings. It has taken me two months to retrieve my 6 small boxes of personal effects and a truckload of money. By the time I finally get the things I will have paid more to get them from Jakarta port to my apartment then it cost me to ship them half way across the world. Genius!
