Thread: Teaching English Job in Bali (ESL)

Some people don't like the idea of the quarantine and work things out to get their pets through quarantine in a few days. Our dogs went through the two weeks in quarantine while we lived in a hotel and hurriedly looked for a place to live that would allow 2 large dogs and a cat. I have been told by a few sources that the animals are treated weil in quarantine and our dogs, except for being very smelly, seemed happy and well treated. The cat lost weight but that was probably because she was traumatized by the air travel and being away from us rather than the treatment she received. She was calm when she arrived and didn't seem as though she had been ill-treated.
They were brought in by Groovy Pets from Jakarta to Bali and they liked the Groovy handler and he seemed to like them. The best way to learn costs for transport from Jakarta to Bali may be to contact Teresia at Groovy Pets. You also will have veterinary expense in your home country in order to satisfy the Indonesian requirements and you will have pet transport expense. We moved to Bali from Australia and used DogTainers. They were excellent. All this was expensive but for us it was not a choice. We weren't going to leave them behind. Had they not been able to come we wouldn't have either. Groovy checked on our pets while they were in quarantine and were very good about keeping in communication with us.
We moved to Bali in June so we are new-comers.

How do you like your new life? I think that the most challenging is to not be able to see your friends and family, and meet new friends. It seems to me, though, that the expat community is pretty supportive of each other in Bali.

It's been my life-long dream to return to Bali, to live; &, I was hoping to do so, by teaching English, (as a second language) commencing next year, (2013) ...... my Family
resided, in Indonesia, (many years ago) through my Father's employment. I was wondering if you achieved your desired result ...... are you teaching English, in Bali ...... if so,
I was hoping that you would share your experience.
