Angie writes....

f in a perfect world the residents in your village were all "caring people" then of course, no problem.

BINGO lady, you've got it! Bloody rue, you win the prize!

Angie! My village is about as "perfect a world" as one would ever see. :P

If you don't think so, then either get over here, or talk to some of the members on this forum that have been here.

My "issue" with you is that you assumed, some how, and out of nowhere, that the nature of this project would encourage pedophiles. And ya, that sort of un-based logic set me off a bit, especially when it comes from someone who knows nothing about Bali.

I hope you had a great Sunday with your family. For us, we played in the swimming pool all day long...and it was hot too!

I havent been to Ubud but i have hear going out at night in the dark is dodgey and dangerous. :shock: :shock:

Yes Roy i am afraid there have been warnings about Ubud for all you love about it . Frankly health warning regarding certain parts of Ubud.

Confused eh well lets just say a certain establishment called Naughty Nuris comes with a health warning about staying in there to long for risk of ending up totally without feeling in ones legs and also problems with ones Balance. I wonder just what it could be eh ? :wink: :wink: :wink:


Any ideas Roy at all :) :)

Ok folks, What's the point here?
The world is not perfect. But though I have never been in one personally. I have studied the goings on in an adat comunity INTENSELY.
I can not imagine a more wonderful atmosphere for children to grow in. And if my mother were still alive...how she would have loved to retire in her beloved Bali.
-So westerners lock up your kids. They are Far from safe here. And stick grandma in a home. That way you can get about your hurried lives without worries.
And Sparky, If I sit too long anywhere I sometimes can't feel my legs.
I assume you are refering to 'date-rape' drugs ie. GHB or the like. I go to clubs and rave parties all the time. It is foolish to leave any drink unattended. Anywhere.
If I were to have children. I would drop everything and get our asses on the Island as fast as possible.
It is NOT safe to be a child here in the USA!

I Made...matur suksuma!

Frankly, I regret the day...some months ago, when I first brought this topic up. It’s often painfully clear how many folks have no idea about Bali.

[Angie]

especially when it comes from someone who knows nothing about Bali. !

It is not like me to resort to name calling but Roy, you are a pompous a**

I am tired of you. You and I are like "night and day", here's hoping you don't "ebb with the tide" aaaaaaaaaaah :evil:

I am currently cleansing my heart, soul and home of clutter, consider yourself cleared.

Sorry, Bert . . . I would have liked to stay, but he's just not worth it

[Roy]

Sorry you feel that way Angie. I guess that's just the way the "cookie crumbles" some times.

What do you mean by "moved forward"? What are you asking about?

Sanurian,

On a more serious note, (and yes, you deserved that smack), it is not me who has determined Bali as very attractive for retirement. That was established last year by a poll conducted by the AARP...the American Association of Retired Persons. They have a membership of over 20 million people. In the poll they conducted, Bali came in 5th worldwide as the place most retirees would like to settle.

Gunung,

To more seriously answer your question...no, right now there are no retirement communities in Bali...but you can bet that soon enough it will happen. In my own village, just outside of Ubud and along the Ayung River, our community is planning such a facility to be built on at least five hectares of village owned land and right along the river’s edge with fantastic views of the Ayung River gorge. This will be a fully self-contained retirement community, but within it we will be re-building our primary and secondary schools, as well as a medical clinic specializing in geriatrics. Additionally, there will be a helo-port for emergency medivacs to the international wing of Sanglah hospital in Denpasar...about 15 minutes by helicopter.

The Ubud area, especially along the Ayung River has one of the best year round climates in all of Bali. It has moderate humidity, clean fresh air, and maintains an average daily temperature of 84 degrees Fahrenheit with little daily fluctuation.

This project is not a commercial endeavor, but rather community owned, and will be professionally operated by outside experts as needed. The benefit to the community will be that all children can receive complete education at no cost to the families right up to the collegiate level, and that all villagers will have free access to the medical clinic. Conceptually, it will be a village within our village, but totally integrated within the entire village.

The benefits for the retired foreign members of the village will be quality housing...one level only, with all services like laundry, cooking, gardening, cleaning, etc provided by the staff.

Currently, this is all still on “the drawing board” but it will happen as the vote to do this has been finalized by the village “adat” or elders. The concept is seen as a total “win win” situation where both the villagers, as well as the retirees benefit.

Since Rien has finally “come clean” and admit that he has similar plans, you can PM me for more details, which for proprietary reasons, would be careless of me to publicly share.

My friends, my wife and I are interested in this retirement village. Is it happening? Sorry I could PM you as I don't have 10 postings yet. Very happy to talk to you privately if you PM me and we can get into email communication.
