Quit your job, move to Bali, start a new life. Sounds lovely doesn’t it? Doing all that is possible and does not require special skills, connections or a lot of money. However you must get your ‘ducks in a line’ so to speak, to make your move to Bali a success. Even before your new […]

Here’s an update on some of things happening in the internet access scene in Bali. Remember the nonsense I had to go through with XL (you don’t need a phone line, you need a phone line, you don’t need a phone line)? well I eventually managed to borrow someone’s phone bill and head on over […]

Raising kids is something that most of us aren’t trained for but have to deal with sooner or later. I actually enjoy it, partly because I know it won’t last forever and partly because it brings a refreshing reality to things.

My visit to the XL building recently was a rather frustrating affair, getting my machine & cell phone set up with their system, only to hear I needed a land line. After all the good advice from Baliblog readers I decided to pay another visit to sort this ISP issue out.
This afternoon the polite staff […]

Buying land in Bali and building your ‘dream house’ is something many people consider.

Indonesian law states that only Indonesian citizens can own land in Indonesia, but many property companies claim to […]
