Namaste to all Indians in Jakarta! Would you like to meet fellow Indian expats in Jakarta? Would you like to get insider suggestions from other Indians, e.g. where in Jakarta your hometown team’s next match is shown on TV or where to get bhakri?

We would like to invite you to become a member of InterNations Jakarta. As a member of InterNations, you will have access to an active group of Indian expats, hailing from New Delhi, Chennai, Mumbai and all regions of India.

I was amazed how many other members in Jakarta share the same interests as me. And some of them come from Norway, too !
