We are happy but be cautious! We are happy to have made an investment in land in Desa Kayuputih up from Lovina but I caution anybody about acting hurriedly or trusting anybody too much so. We were told horror stories about so-called realtors (really scam artists) even having storefronts in...

We were so hoping the ratrace and its problems would stay down in the Bukit.

Just returned from a 9-day real estate shopping trip that met our goals in every way thanks mostly to the kindess of the local people. Everywhere we turned we had local people providing us transport all across the island, finding us hotels, sharing meals and conversation with us, sharing their...

Bali has significant rivers, high-country lakes, subak/irrigation canal infrastructure that can be better used for water distribution. High density populations surely provide enough wastewater to recycle as is being done more and more here in the U.S. (effluent to drinking conversion). The key...

Maybe a few more natural reservoirs need to be kept clean and tapped or dams built. I'm no expert but it seems the mountains catch plenty of moisture and that it just needs better conservation management than running it all needlessly into the ocean. Curtailing the influx from Java may help too...
