I hope this hasn't already been answered but I searched and couldn't find the answer to my question. On a KITAP (retirement) is it a requirement that one cannot work or than one cannot earn money? In other words, is it legal to invest in a business and earn money from that investment as long as...

Any ukulele players in Ubud that would like to meet up to strum and sing? A friend of mine is putting together a group who want to play for fun and have a good time.
I used to think we didn't have as much choice in deli products around Ubud as people in the south but in reading this thread I realize how lucky we are to have the Ubud Deli between Mas and Ubud. They have great variety, quality, really helpful staff, and they deliver around Ubud. They also make...
I've mentioned our attack and robbery previously on Balipod but you can read about it here. I agree with all SHoggard says about community relations, not only for reasons of safety but because it makes us more connected to our Bali life. Wayne, my hat's off to you for all the work you did to get...
I agree with RonB. I can't speak highly enough of Bali Kennel in Sanur. The owner and staff all genuinely care about the pets in their care. Mine go down to Sanur once a month for grooming and they are always happy to be there. It is like a play date for them. The dogs who are boarding or there...
We would all applaud journalism that exposes airport safety issues the airport would rather we remain unaware of but irresponsible journalism for sensationalism is irritating."Remarkably, no-one died," said the article. Perhaps "thankfully" would have been a better adverb if one were needed. The...
People in Australia become rude or cross when someone living in Australia cannot communicate well in English. The same is often true in America. The comment often made is, "If they want to live in an English speaking country, they should bloody well learn to speak the language." But I have been...
I like the little landslide graphic you attached. In Bali we can probably find most, if not all, of these types of landslides. Just half a km from us the road is falling down the cliff from rock mining and the subsequent erosion. Very dangerous because non-locals driving through don't realize...
Shipping door-to-door might help with the hassle but it won't necessarily help with the expense. Our movers contacted us when our stuff reached Surabaya and said we owed 20% more for customs duty. It seemed excessive at the time but our only option would have been to go to Surabaya to check out...
"ITs dog eat dog, family counts for nothing."
This isn't even close to my experience with the Balinese. The ones I know are closely intertwined with their family and family counts for almost everything.
"Theres not too many Javanese government officials serving in Bali. They're all Balinese."...
You could think more laterally about who you hire. We have a man, Dewa, who comes three days a week. He cleans the house and does it well but I do most of the kitchen stuff except for the cleaning. He does the daily garden maintenance but we have a "real" gardener come a couple of days a month...
