This mate is a real smart fella , he is not greedy, and he has things sorted out so far. I wish him and his family good times . I wish i could do something similar to his thing there.

Congratulations to Doug , for his generosity in showing you how he has changed his life from what would have been a catastrophe. With good luck he happened to marry a good woman, and create a new life in Jogja, great city. Thanks for your channel, exploring Jogja and revealing how to survive in Indo, don't forget Java is another good place.
