19.May.2006, Jakarta

The tax rule was more of a slight change in the way witholding tax is calculated. At the end of the day, you still need to pay the same amount of tax.

After the meeting, we ate Nasi Goreng Kambing in the sidewalk nearby.

Finally, I was able to eat pork for lunch here in Indonesia (since Sep.05). And I also had something else, Kwetiau siram. We ate in this mall, Lippo Cikarang, which is only a few kilometers from where I work. Took us 15 minutes to reach but the travel back to office took 1 hour due to traffic, sigh. I remember the manila traffic jam...

This weekend, I'm staying here in Jakarta City...
