    Robbed in Kutuh, Kajah, Ubud

    Someone tried to break in at my neighbors' place a few weeks ago, in clear daylight. He got caught and beaten half to death by a very quickly gathered crowd. After he was KO, and a few kicks to the head for dessert, he was thrown (literally) into the back of a pick-up truck and driven away. I...

    little friends

    My maid calls all insects she finds in the house "little friends", sweeping them carefully, as not to kill them, out on the patio so they can re-start the process of breaking & entering/sweeping them out all over again. Hey, it keeps her busy..

    Where do the Expats meet in Jimbaran?

    As long as it tastes good I don't ask too many questions. Working in the hotel industry you don't want to know half of whats going on in most places including the 5 star ones or you would immediately become a vegan. No, this one is right next to the round-about trying to divide uluwatu 1 & 2...

    Where do the Expats meet in Jimbaran?

    I live a 5 minute walk from JWB Pizza and to say that the beer is cold is an understatement; most of the time I get the ones that have already started to freeze :icon_mrgreen: In any case, there is not much to do around here, yet.. ;)

    Opening bank account without KITAS

    Indeed, when I just arrived and my KITAS was under processing my company set-up the BNI account for me actually, I haven't been to a branch even once so far. They told me they just told the bank that I work here, my KITAS is being processed and I had an atm card 4 weeks (don't ask..) later...
