Foreigners, including Chinese, Indian, American, British, and Australian, can get a Visa-on-Arrival at the custom of TG. Pinang. (See the picture above) <\/p>\n

\"VOAFee.jpg\"\/<\/a><\/p>\n

The Visa fee is US$ 10 for 7 days and US$ 25 for 30 days.<\/p>\n

That’s much more convenient for travellers. I had to pay 70 Singapore dollars and queue twice to get a visa before I came to Indonesia one year ago.<\/p>\n

The two buildings in front are bird nest houses, houses for swallow. Local Chinese people build the houses for swallow and collect the nests. Swallow’s nest is an expensive invigorant in Chinese society.<\/p>\n

Chinese products are penestrating the Indoesian market. Though the reputation of the Chinese products are not so good there, I have seen Chinese electronic appliances, motorcycles, packaged snacks, etc. selling on in TG. Pinang.<\/p>\n

The Indonesian Gini coefficient is around 0.33, which is lower than many Chinese cities. But the wealth inequality is much more obvious than that in China. <\/p>\n

In TG Pinang, a maid’s (domesitc worker) salary ranges from 30 to 60 Singapore dollar(S$). (US$20 ~40) Much lower than that in China. A man working in a factory can bring home S$100 every month. An experienced degree holder can earn S$400 to S$1000 a month.<\/p>\n

TG Pinang sits in the south of the Bintan island. It has some beautiful beaches and a nice resort. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
