    travel tips for short stay in bali

    What veggies? My fiance might be able to help since I already talked to him about it and he said he knows where to get the seeds. But the conversation was never continued and my veggie garden is still full.

    travel tips for short stay in bali

    Thanks.... but I'll stay on my mountain top and do my daily rice field walk. The idea of visiting all these temples and all these beaches only to return to Kuta every night makes me stressed out already. But to each his own right? Have to admit that I do go to Begugul every three months...... if...

    wha ha ha..... Vacation for 3 days? That is more like and extended weekend! If you like zero relaxation then a 7 day holiday. But you don't need to come to Bali for that. Total waste because that is not what Bali is about! Don't know about others but vacation for me is relaxation with a...

    Homeschooling..

    I used the Laurel Springs curriculum for two years. Within those years my daughter learned to read and write English. She was in a German school (and is now again) before that and could not read at all (neither English nor German). I was very happy with this school as they did not enforce just...

    Beautiful Bali, Bloated

    Yes..... we should all do something and remember Rome was not built in one day!!! I sit on the beach with my Balinese Fiance amongst the trash. When we leave we take our garbage with us. He asked me why I only take mine.... I said I brought it here and can bring it back home. I just do it...

    Beautiful Bali, Bloated

    “Bali used to be able to achieve self-sufficiency in agriculture. But nowadays, more and more land has been converted into hotels and villas.” And then there are those ruins that are left to rot away ...... And down the road the rice field is turned into a villa complex that could house a...

    blacklisting an employee that stealing and went missing

    Difficult....... But when I notice something missing I ask directly and then the next day the stolen item is on my front steps. I don't know for sure who it is - have my suspicions though. But it works all the time. Money - well that I leave on my bank or give it to my most trustworthy...

    tioman island

    Girl Friday.... ha ha ha.... To be honest I can't really remember much of Robinson Crusoe... So maybe I'm more like the castaway with Wilson, but I don't think Wilson was with us on Tioman!!! I never liked living in Singapore. I had great friends, but living there was not a dream come true. I...

    Onward Ticket with VOA?

    Actually it depends on the airline you fly with whether they ask or not.....ie KLM/Airfrance has never asked for a return ticket. Korean Air is a big stickler for the return ticket though. They check and recheck dates! But as for the immigration where you get your VOA I've never been asked.
