    future for your chldren....

    In the United States of America there is NO racism. Everyone lives in peace together. The all help each other and color, religion or sexual preference is never even an issue to judge somebody. I wish I lived there. Maybe in my next life.

    Monorail

    Monorail

    I misread the original topic. I thought it was about a tram/train, not about a monorail. Monorail seems to be a little overdone indeed.

    Monorail

    I think its a fine idea. Its a good option to solve one of bali's biggest bad points, traffic. Although I think that when it is finished, traffic has growns already to the old levels again.

    Here's a great role model for Developers in Bali

    New to forum; will be in Bali soon

    The kerobokan-area is a favorite place for expats (together with ubud). Nice restaurants (better quality on average, except for fish, then in Jimbaran), less traffic (but still quite alot), beautifull houses (like in Jimbaran). Just check it out I would say. Its a matter of taste, but for me...
