Your fish? Well, boy have you got him hooked! BTW, yesterday night I got my driving license! Only mistake on it is that they put my height at 168cm (when I'm actually 184.5cm)!

I'm out of the stupid hospital. Whoa Lews, it's been AGES man! What happened? Why were you in the hospital? (I know I'd also call it a stupid hospital if I was stuck there ) @ Gal: You're just too late, the minibar has been raided multiple times. ;D Welcome back!

Btw, I was wondering: what sort of cars do people drive in Indonesia mostly? Are there any Indonesian brands (probably not know troughout the world then) out there? Are there any specific brands you mostly drive. In Europe we drive mostly, well, European cars ofcourse. In America people drive almost only American cars and Japanese cars (because the Japanese build cars that the Americans like).
And what is generally driven as a gearbox? Manual or automatic?

WB HEF, Sonar and Lews - glad to have you here I'm back as well after being a bit absent even though I have read the forum. I'm on vacation for this and the two following weeks. It might sound a bit empty since I'm unemployed but there's always something administrative stuff to worry about and rules to follow. Not these weeks though and I've taken full advantage of it and been hanging out with friends a whole lot

Are there any specific brands you mostly drive. In Europe we drive mostly, well, European cars ofcourse. In America people drive almost only American cars and Japanese cars (because the Japanese build cars that the Americans like). And what is generally driven as a gearbox? Manual or automatic? There is no local brand of car (although sometime way back in the 80's Suharto tried to create one), so until fairly recently, Toyota had a majority on Generally used cars. Now however, there's quite a few Honda Jazz's coming in (I think ATM it's the fastest growing brand of car here), but Toyota's still on top (there's some other Japanese cars). There are quite a few Mercedes' (especially the more expensive type, it's what the really rich generally drive), which account for about 60% of European cars. There's some of the rest (Peugot, Citroen, Renault, etc.) Plus quite a few Fords, Chevrolet, etc. And of course, there's always a Ferrari or Lambourgini (however you spell it) here and there in some ultra-rich guy's house. I'll try to break it down: Japanese: 70% European: 20% American: 9% The rest (That includes some Malaysian Protons, Jang): 1% Of the Japanese: 75% Toyota (70% of which are Minivans, Kijang brand, which is my Dad's car) Of the European: 60% Mercedes Of the American: Maybe 60% Chevrolet, 40% Ford I'd say it's about 50% Minivan, 50% other cars (I'm not counting Trucks in this survey, which are almost all Mitsubishi). Of the Minivans, 90% would be Toyota Kijang, which is probably the most used model of car in all of Indonesia. It's just so practical! Can hold a lot of people, a few tons of baggage, and it's great for rough roads (Aside from Jakarta, most of Indonesia has very bad road maintenance). Definitely my choice of car (since I'm a volunteer social worker), and apparently much of the people's choice of car. I'd say gearboxes are about 70-85% Manual, although of course it isn't hard to find automatic cars. Of course, this can't be 100% accurate, but it should give you an idea. @ La Fille: Ah, you bring back several-hundred-year-old memories. @ Peter: Ha, and you're the moderator of this board? ;D Don't worry, just POST, POST, POST!
