Living in Semarang
Semarang combines old-town colonial streets, a growing food and cafe scene, and the practical buzz of a Central Java commercial centre. Teachers can visit Lawang Sewu, Kota Lama, and nearby hills or the coast around Jepara on lighter days. It offers a comfortable city balance without Jakarta's heavyweight density, with easy train links across Java.
Weather
Warm tropical weather year-round. Expect a wetter season and a drier season, with local variation.
Expat community
New teachers can connect through local international communities, language exchanges, and city-based social groups.
Neighbourhood tips
Teachers arrange their own place to live. Start with a short stay near your centre, then compare rental options and neighbourhoods that suit your commute and routine.
