My Irish partner and I (orig. UK) currently live in Australia and his work is reassigning him for a 1 - 2 year assignment based out of the Centennial Tower, Lantai 29, Unit D-F, Jl. Gatot Subroto No.Kav. 24-25, Jakarta, Daerah Khusus Ibukota Jakarta 12930, Indonesia. I am wanting to do some research prior to moving, so have a couple of questions:
1. We would prefer to find a fully furnished apartment within a 20 minute walk of the Centennial Tower - what online websites would you suggest I look at, to get an idea of the kind of accommodation options that are available in this area?
2. I need to take nerve pain medication called Lyrica/Pregabalin. Am I able to get this in Jakarta? Is it an over the counter product or will I need to find a doctor? If I need a doctor, any suggestions for a local one?
3. Is online supermarket shopping available? If so can you suggest some sites that I can look at? What are the names of good supermarkets locally? I wont need the posh European or Expat kinds - but I do want to stay as Covid safe as possible.
4. How do people cope with maintaining their overseas Sim/SMS number and also having an Indonesian phone number? I have an iphone X, will I need to purchase an Indonesian phone or can I use dual Sim n my Australian phone? The phone is not locked into any particular provider.
5. How do people cope with the water? Do you simply buy bottled water or is there some kind of filter system that you can invest in?
Thank you in advance for all your help xx
