From what I experience - no! But like JohnnyCool mentioned you'd know for sure if you called the consulate. The reasoning here in Germany was that they wanted to know for sure if my brother in law really wanted me to visit..... :icon_rolleyes:

Well maybe it is the remoteness of where we are..... the only bule in the village and none in the neighboring village..... So no one has had a pet poisoned, a banana tree stolen (not that we don't have enough), water main turned off (problem remedied), electricity main switched off (still...

ah ok.... I speak it but other than rij jij of rij ik, can't write anything else really.

Is this part of the forum only for Dutch speaking Dutch? Or for anyone Dutch? Although my passport states my citizenship as Dutch I've never lived there. My forefathers were Dutch born and raised in Indonesia, me born and raised in Asia..... So I can read and speak a little Dutch but not write...

I think this is a common failing in many schools - even here in Germany! I'm amazed at how many kids don't question the things they are told! I home schooled my daughter for two years - for one because of the fees and two because I did not want to live down south. Now she is back in a regular...

It is keeping that water from crashing down the hillsides that seems to be a problem in Indonesia. Many times I've experienced the road going out of Candidasa in direction Amlapura turning into a river during heavy rains. If the run out in Kuta...... heaven help us in the East - they'll all...

I'm interested in anything DIY in re. to water heating. I've also heard of using compost piles to heat water...... That and water purification are my projects for this summer. So any information is more than welcome!

And when he's done with that can you send him over to build me a solar heater from scratch? I have a DIY booklet but don't understand the half of it!:icon_rolleyes:

Well as a woman and a foreign one at that I can not sit down and talk to the people in the village...... And I would actually have to know who it was before I could talk to them. I have an idea most times but that does not help if I have no real proof of who it is. It is the same all over...

Thanks!! Ronb..... I guess my thought pipeline was blocked because I know this word!

by 2013 ? Wow !

I'm sure there is a word for this but basically it is stick a pipe/hose in the body of water, suck and let flow....... We live very very remotely and although we have a gate we have no fences completely surrounding our area. So when someone feels we have done something wrong they don't...

Someone translate this into Balinese so that I can hang a sign out in front of our place to let people know that everytime they empty our pool or water tower they are not only being real pains in the ass but also harming themselves in the long run!

wha ha ha ha!! :icon_mrgreen: I got caught with gum last year....... totally forgot about that one! But when ever someone says "productivity" I get this song that was rampant in the 80's running through my head:icon_rolleyes:

Me too but not to live permanently..... if you move from Jakarta early 70's to Singapore 80's it is serious culture shock!

Enjoy!! I remember thinking I was Robinson Crusoe (female version)...... White sand beaches, fresh tuna, crystal clear water...... But then anything was nicer than Singapore for me back then. Singapore ruined my naive look on life:icon_biggrin:

Tioman..... haven't been back since the early 80's. Back then it was wonderful. Staid at a cheap place directly on the beach and had the whole place to ourselves. 10 of us teenagers with only stupid ideas! We went by bus then and that stopped at every hole in the foliage to let people on or off!

My bad Markit! You did mention something somewhere about covered beton! But don't underestimate the termites! And the damp weather so look for good quality wood. And as I mentioned your builder guy (going back to check now if that is what you said) - yes builder you said - should know how to...

at markit - router? They'll use a screw driver and hammer to achieve the same results.... Anyways most Balinese know how to build things or they know someone who knows..... Or go visit people and secretly sketch the construction of their bale2...??? HEY and don't forget the termites that just...

They all want money..... hey even in Amlapura. This kid was watching me load my "galon" bottles into the car and started begging. Since I happened to have a whole stalk of bananas in the car to bring to my sisters I thought. Hmmmm a nice banana or two would be ok. But he didn't want the...
