Syarat yang di perlukan ada di atas,
mengenai berapa biaya, tentu nya tiap konsulat berbeda dan tentunya tergantung berapa yang di wajibkan bayar oleh konsulat tersebut.
mengenai dimana di selenggarahkan .. sebenarnya itu kan tergantung kepada mbak dan calon sendiri ? apakah akan di adakan di jatim terlebih dahulu atau di taiwan terlebih dahulu ?
terima kasih

Menurut sepengetahuan saya, dokumen - dokumen tersebut memang harus di siapkan saat mau menikah sipil. Tidak terkecuali di negara mana pun, tetap saja harus di lengkapi seluruhnya sebagai informasi ke negara suami dan negara asal kita. Terima kasih Dear Kartika ..

Terimakasih Amanda. Dear Amanda,

He self funded the establishment of the venture.Pretty niaive of him, but you can't hang a man for having a belief and a passion.Seems to me that he wanted a Peace Park for all and that the differences may have occurred because others had personal agendas that they wanted addressed. How about we all stop the futile dialogue and get on board to create a Peace Park away from that poisoned piece of land. Perhaps all those who can envisage a beautiful park for reflection and peace regardless of spiritual beliefs ( away from Kuta) could contact Dallas and get things rolling. A Yayasan in Bali needs to be formed to give the movement a legal identity in Indonesia.Lets make this a transparent and accountable foundation that achieves positive outcomes. Dallas I will help you if I can find where you are now. Jenny I think Dallas’s interview is pretty self explanatory.

They didn’t even have the respect to tell me to my face of my expulsion they sent me a text message the night before I flew to Bali, that was when I found out the night club was about to be built and through my contacts was able to have the building stopped, this also lead to a meeting between the Australian Consulate and the Governor. I am still in contact with various stakeholders and Government officials and am will be organising to meet with them in the near future to look at other options.

Isn't there a memorial site already dedicated to the bomb victims? what did you spend the $100k on for funding when nothing moved forward for the park?

]]> Comment on Japanese tourist found dead on Kuta beach by Charles Martel http://blog.baliexpat.com/japanese-tourist-found-dead-on-kuta-beach/comment-page-1/#comment-1176 Charles Martel Wed, 25 Aug 2010 13:04:36 +0000 http://blog.baliexpat.com/?p=565#comment-1176 Mii, your post is the best out of the lot by far. Such a sensible comment. It is a tragedy no doubt, but this women should have had her wits about her and should have not trusted these men. Also a woman has to be clear about what her intentions are if she invites a man, or men back to her hotel. She has to know what the guy's/guys' intentions are also. If common sense and intelligence had prevailed, then this victim would still be alive today. Women need to stop giving mixed/unclear signals otherwise they invite crocodiles to do evil things to them. I have lived in Indo before and like the country. My favourite place is Bali, although Java is nice too. I think Indo people are very friendly. However I will say this: I am angry at how the Javanese and other Indonesians are wrecking the island of Bali and a lot of them are leeches and opportunists coming to the island to exploit it as it is obviously a tourist mecca and a goldmine for them. If they had preserved their own cultures like the Balinese rather than turning to and following a puritan, strict, hardcore and joyless religion like Islam, then they could have had their own tourist meccas too. They want to have their cake and eat it too. They should leave the Balinese alone and respect the island's culture and not use it as one uses a whore. Make your own paradise and stop exploiting the fruits of a paradise you did nothing to cultivate and develop. Mii,
