I use my local time. I'm too lazy to do the conversion. If someone has a
problem with that, I'll remedy it. PLEASE don't have a problem with it...

Well, "Indonesia" is actually a series of nearly 3700 islands (3000
are inhabited), including, Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Timor, &
Irian Jaya. So, it depends upon which one(!) your talking about.

All together, the country spans *three* timezones:
GMT+7:00 (Bangkok/Hanoi-time),
GMT+8:00 (Beijing/Singapore-time), &
GMT+9:00 (Tokyo/Seoul-time).

Time to drag out the Rand-Macnally atlas, chummer. (Or if you have
Win95, double-click on the taskbar's clock & play with the time-zone
gadget.)

Hope this helps,

This is the one where Jakarta is, since I assume this is what Jaimie was
looking for.
