Overseas Mail

There is still much to learn about the mailing process in Indonesia, but at this point I have a few experiences to share from.  There were a couple options in how I wanted to receive mail.  One would be to have it delivered to my house and the second option I knew of was to get a P.O. Box.  Both systems appear to be similar to the U.S., although I've noticed the mailman delivers mail using a motorcycle.  With the mail I've sent and received, it seems to take about 2-3 weeks for a package and around 1 week for a letter.  The post office I use (pictured below) is about a 15 minute walk or 5 minute angkot ride from my house, but if I want to mail a package to the U.S. I must go to the main post office in downtown Bandung.
