Aside from growing in Indonesia, where else did Obama live and for how long

Aside from growing in Indonesia, where else did Obama live and for how long?
I read that he resided in Indonesia for six years (am I right?) but his others residencies had not been known very much. Where did he started in joining the Trinity Church and where did he started to get involved in politics? Stuffs like these.

The family (his mother and him, and her new husband) moved to Indonesia when he was 6. His mother, Obama and his baby sister moved back to the US when he was 10. So he lived out of the United States for just under 4 years. During those four years, his mother was employed by the US Embassy in Jakarta. When his mother left her husband and they returned to Hawaii, Barack (his nickname is "Barry") was enrolled in preparatory school in Hawaii, where he, his mother and his sister lived with his maternal grandparents. He attended Punahao School from age 10 to age 17 (graduation). After graduation, he moved to Los Angeles and attended Occidental College for 2 years. He then transferred to Columbia University in New York City, where he got his BA in Political Science when he was 22. He lived and worked in New York for a further 2 years before moving to Chicago to become a community organizer. 3 years later, 1988, he enrolled in Harvard and lived in Massachussets. He graduated magna cum laude in 1991, when he returned to Chicago, where he spent the next two years doing community outreach work before joining Miner, Barnhill and Galland as an associate attorney (1993). At the same time he became a lecturer in constitutional law at Chicago University. He met his wife in 1988 and they dated for 4 years before getting married in 1992. He was "born again" sometime during this period. He confirms that his re-awakening was influenced by the people he worked with in the South Side of Chicago as a community organizer and outreach worker, many of whom sustained themselves with the hope and positive influence of the church. In 1996 he was elected to the Illinois State Senate and there he served for 8 years, having been re-elected twice, before being elected to the United States Senate in 2004. He still lives in Chicago.
