Actually, I was responding in defense of AjnaInWater, as the first smart-ass commend directed towards him, but hey - by all means – be my guest, keyboard warrior. Have at me and do ya woist… For a moment, let's be serious here. I mean, it's an airfare thread -- right? Fares change moment to...

Perhaps the admins should lock these threads then. Better than slagging anyone from trying to continue the conversation...

It sounds lovely - thanks for the heads up on the areas near Amed. We’ll already planned to take a day or two driving up in that area. We were looking for something more secluded and relaxed, but still within a 30-minute drive of signs of life. Yep - I expect this to be an overall problem. We...

Who says I’m listening to any of you yahoos? ;) The wife is pushing to go here. What happens, happens - but I’ve gotten the “you handum man”-treatment in Thailand and its not swayed me one bit. Fortunately, I’m cheap so I can see right through that. They’re 2 islands over and we’re not...

Fortunately I’m not so gravitationally challenged, but I’ve always been on the meaty-boy side. When I’m in SE Asia, I also always lose weight as I’m walking more and just eating twice daily. It’s the beer I need to watch out for.. :cool:

I’ve only been there for a few weeks, but it feels as if it’s set in amber. It might take something like an airport to break it up and make it improve (but we all know that’s not going to happen…). Yep, yep - I’ve been sayin the same thing, but the pull to have your own land and home is written...

Hey, go where the questions are, right?

Up to you. It’s fine when you‘re somewhat afeared because you don’t understand something. Refusing to understand it, and living in fear of it…ah well.

A "fatty" has a 36-inch waist? I'm dooooomed…

Or Skyscanner, Kayak, etc - most any of those air travel clearing houses. Also check ITA Matrix, which is great for drilling down and seeing details on existing offers. Often, if you see a deal at one of these, check the airline itself and you can sometimes find combo offers - hotel and flight -...

Hey Ken - thanks for reaching out. Yes - the wife is still legit, so getting on and actually purchasing property won't be a problem. We're still undecided which way to go, but we do know this - we want space. I've been in apartments since I left home as a child, and my wife had been living out...

It's really nothing to worry about - it's just high-powered radio waves. What basically happens is the frequency the waves are "pitched" to vibrate water molecules. The water molecules (generally on the outside of the food) rub against each other, much like the heat you produce by rubbing your...

Nothing specific as yet - we’re searching online and plan to check out the region in more detail in about 46 days (not that we’re counting…:rolleyes:). We did expect to have the Canggu virus move up our way, but we’re also not fixed to the area.

More than likely, we’re going to end up building our own place, and they’ll have everything - all the mod-cons - I just didn’t know whether the weather/temps was conducive to having an oven in the house. I guess it depends on how the airco is set-up.. ‍;) We are already old friends with...

Like most places. Ever been to Amsterdam? 30 years ago, entirely different place… We’re more country folk than city, so that never was an option. Fortunately, that’s not the life we’re looking for. Plenty of small green spaces yet to be raped by developers. We’ve found 15 ara (too big - 5...

I avoid social media (I’ve built it and know how the sausage is made) so I’ll leave that fun to the wife. ;)

Got to love a proper parisian jambon beurre - crispy baguette and smoked, thick ham with salted butter. A world away from the bland, thin, laser-sliced ham in the Nethlands. Just following this thread makes me very hungry… So - quick culinary question for home chef's here -- what kind of...

Hi Chris, Yep, we've been watching Bali for years and everything is rapidly changing. My wife lived in Bali for a few years before moving to the Netherlands, and we're both amazed by the growth and whether it's actually sustainable. On the other hand, Europe and NL is the same and it's...

Hey there, We're an Indonesian / American couple, Eghi & Jim, currently living in the The Netherlands and getting ready to retire in a couple years to Bali. I'm a UI developer and my wife is a nanny (yes, I married the nanny...). We're still 2+ years away from it, but we wanted to read a bit...
