I'm a single female and plan to be in Jakarta for two years. I've lived in South and Central America and Europe, but never SE Asia. I'm getting excited!

Thank you for any help!
Hell, bring US some stuff like a dozen Krispy Kremes.

Actually, you can find everything here but english books are expensive...The proper supermarkets will carry all things western but be prepared to pay $5 for something like a can of Spam (not that you eat that but it's a good benchmark).

Perhaps deodorants and stuff like that should be brought in if you are sensitive that way.

Other than that, welcome to Jakarta and see you around!
