Coming out Swinging

Feb 21st, 2009, in Asides, by

The week of IM in review, love and romance, aliens, shady business dealings, and coming out swinging slugfests.

Stuff

An American Muslim businessman visits Jakarta and has an affair with a woman, and wonders whether she is a prostitute. He goes into a little gynaecological detail in Help A Clueless Bule.

Farah and somebody else check out the eligible bachelors on dating sites aimed at Indonesian/Asian women, in Online Date.

The pages of IndonesiaMatters.com are no longer slower than a wet week to load, relief and joy is felt across the nation. However Patung vows to start shaking his money maker, if he can pull his finger out of it. (and in that spirit, improve your English, meet Indonesian girls, book a hotel in Jakarta.)

The debate over whether alien technology has helped Java in centuries past roars back to life, as all good discussions do.

Who or what is Satrio Piningit and is he too much competition for Republican royal Sultan Hamengkubuwono’s naked ambition?

Is Jusuf Kalla’s opposition to nuclear power plants in Indonesia a result of his business interests? Achmad has his say, while Cukurungan is tight lipped but makes some sense for a change.

Expat men and Indonesian men at oil and gas firms, what’s it like for young Indonesian women working with them? Farah spills the beans.

A discussion on Papua inexplicably turns into an anti-Chinese/pro-Chinese slugfest, to the shock and bewilderment of many. Diego goes into the pre-moderation sin bin.
