Hi everyone, i hope this doesnt put me into trouble for 'advertising' but i have found a great thread on Lonely Planet Thorn Tree Forum about SE Asia during the 1970's. Many of the posts relate to Bali. It's a great read, I'm always checking up on the new posts and hope that other people enjoy...

well i'm trying to be helpful because i recieved so much different advice from different people and what i posted is what i am doing. yes i am a novice but what i wrote is what is so far working for me so i dont think there is anything wrong in trying to help another person out...planning your...

oh and i just realised that rent like i sent doesnt work :( looks like another company that has gone down the gurgler in this economic crisis!

hey! i'm doing the same as you, a long term vacation :D visa: get a 60day tourist visa, then return and get a sosial budaya visa for the next 4months as recommended by Ron. Ron suggests singapore as a visa run, you can also do KL which can be cheaper as it takes just One day as opposed to three...

I didnt have an eye sight test when i got my international drivers license. all i did was show them my WA license, give them a passport photo and the girl stamped and signed the little book for me. thankyou so much for the advice! very helpful. this is my first ever 'big trip' away and i have...

hey johnny! cheers for that. I got my current international drivers permit through the RACWA here in Perth, I went in person to the one next to harbourtown. My current WA license expires in April so i'm getting a five year renewal tomorrow (monday). So i'm taking it that I can apply for a...

i'm arriving in indo in one month from today for possibly 1 1/2years (pending scholarship) i'll have a sos bus and then if i get this scholarship i'll have a VITAS. I got my international drivers license in aus and will have a valid aus drivers license. should this be sufficient for me the whole...

cheers for the advice ron. I think i'll change my flight to the following day then, i really dont want to spend 3nights in KL. I havent been there (yet) but will certainly become well acquainted with it by July as I keep passing through there on transit between cities. I'm just heading to...

oh and i hate to steal your topic but have you recovered from your dengue fever yet?

sounds like doing kids parties could be a good business in bali. mimpi why dont you post on some bali travel forums for someone to do some face painting? I'm sure there would be an incredibly enthusiastic face painter out there who is holidaying in bali when you have your sons party. i'm moving...

I emailed the Indo embassy in KL to confirm the same day visa processing time. I arrive in KL from Kuching at 8am, i booked my flight back to Medan in 3 days time but spending 3 days in KL doesnt interest me, its my transit zone through out my Indonesian adventure (due to air asia). I consulate...

hey! perth consulate was very strict! wanted a copy of my onward ticket and all so play it safe and get an onwards ticket. look out for cheap flights on air asia and book one with them. i got $20AU for dps-kl a few weeks back. not many good deals at the moment but if you hang in there i'm sure...

no he actually pointed it out because so many people were referencing wikipedia in their essays.

dont ever trust wikipedia. it's a completely invalid source of information. i remember in my first philosophy lecture at uni our lecturer showed us an article in wikipedia that was complete garbage.

mmm i love the smell of dupa. i've just ran out of my massive supply from last year so am now on the jasmine, sandalwood and nag champa. i cant seem to be able to find dupa anywhere in perth. i love the smell of the morning in the wet season, when you walk out on the streets the sun is coming...

Hahah Jimbo, I'm one of those people that call Bahasa Indonesia 'bahasa.' maybe its an australian thing? we do enjoy abbreviating everything! even at school all my non-indo learning friends ended up calling my teacher 'bu' whenever they saw her or spoke to her.

Is there anyone out there had any experience in the darmasiswa scholarship? i'm in the process of applying (off to the consulate tomorrow to put in my medical cert, passport photos and to have a chat so i can get a recommendation from them). I would love to hear from people that have had...

Hi, i arrive in bali in mid april for at least six months, i would love to join you guys in basketball. i havent played it since highschool! so if your games are fun, friendly and non competitive then count me in :) where is this sports club? i'll be living in seminyak.

If what you have is viral then antibiotics arent going to do anything. they only work with bacteria. You dont really want to be taking antibiotics without knowing if you've been prescribed the right one (different abs for different bacteria) and you may have a virus (abs are then completely...

oh yay another perth person moving to bali :) I'm moving in april for 6months at least, possibly 1 1/2 years, depends on various opportunities i'm applying for and exploring. my first two months i am renting in seminyak in a one bed unit with kitchen, ac, fully furnised for 1.7juta/month. i only...
