    Electronic drugs in Bali

    If you want good quality you need to import from overseas. We have successfully imported nicotine liquid from the states (nicvape.com) and batteries, flavourings and all the other bits and pieces from NZ (nakedvapour.com). You'll get charged a little duty when the package gets delivered, but...

    Moving to Bali with family renting against buying

    Just my 2 cents, but I think renting here beats buying every time. It's perfectly legal, so you never have to worry about anyone having you over a barrel, having to pay constant "fines" or losing your property. Renting, especially long term, is very good value here in comparison to "freehold"...

    Where to buy a treadmill?

    As it happens I haven't - an hour out to Galleria and an hour back in the traffic and FitPlus was closed - no sign indicating if/when they'll be open again :p So yes, please, send through details tonight.

    Where to buy a treadmill?

    Sorry - didn't realise you already had. For some reason I don't get emailed private messages.

    Where to buy a treadmill?

    Balibule can you PM me (or post) details and price? I'm kind of keen to get a new one with warranty, but I'd consider a second hand one if it was in good condition. Going out to buy in an hour or so though so you will have to catch me before then.

    Part-time retirement in Bali?

    It's a wee bit "stating the obvious" but looking at your priorities, you should avoid, avoid, avoid south Bali. It's much more expensive and any cultural appreciation is twice as difficult. In my experience, the best mix of getting to know the locals, seeing the real culture and still having a...

    Where to buy a treadmill?

    Thanks for all the helpful responses. Spent most of the day today checking out different places, including Tueku Umar and a few in Galleria. This is what I found: 1. Treadmills in Bali cost approximately 3-4 times as much for similarly spec'd models in Australia. i.e. a treadmill of 4...

    Where to buy a treadmill?

    It has already been very helpful. I think I found them online: Toko Alat Fitness Equipment Rumah & Komersial | Showroom Alat Fitness Equipment rumah & komersial |. I'll take a look there (hopefully tomorrow) and let you know how I go. The help is very much appreciated.

    Where to buy a treadmill?

    Thanks sakumabali. I already googled that and several similar phrases but no luck. I might check out Jl Teuku Umar though. Not looking for something cheap, just something with reasonable specs for the price.

    Where to buy a treadmill?

    Yerp, should have figured someone would give me a smart ass, unhelpful response like that.

    Where to buy a treadmill?

    I don't think I've ever been so stuck on where to buy something here. I've been looking for a good home treadmill. Ace Hardware has 2 models which are both terrible value for money. I once saw some on sale outside the Lotte Mart in Sanur - does anyone know if they are still there? Don't really...

    Extremely Shady Sounding Request

    I think it may just be a language thing. The document they sent through is nothing like a power of attorney. It's just a letter of authorisation. They assure me that signing over my sponsorship to them is necessary, and that when I have done it in the past it has been illegally. I can't...

    Extremely Shady Sounding Request

    I am sponsoring my father to visit us on a social visit visa, and the agency he went to for a visa extension - Highway Bali - just asked me to sign a power of attorney to extend his visa for him. Naturally I told them no way - but I want to make absolutely sure there is nothing in it because...

    Free Rabies Vaccination For Pets?

    Thanks Tiggy, she came home yesterday and is a LOT better, though still rather quiet and she's lost so much weight. We're so, so glad she's ok and we're busy spoiling her and giving her lots of cuddles.
