    Advice re bringing kids for short 'educational' stay?

    Hi there - have been flirting with the idea of bringing the kids (4 and 9 yrs) with me to Bali for up to a few months, maybe in Sept or Oct. I know that even just a long 'holiday' in Bali would be an 'educational' experience for them, but I want a bit more for them, I want them to be able to...
