We found a new playground in Renon yesterday and our kid loved it. It's one of those modern ones with a soft, rubberised floor and adequate shade.
Here's the location...

I had a strange experience yesterday while trying to go to a small Balinese waterpark. It's called Gumuh Sari Futsal & Waterpark.
Here's their Facebook page, they don't have a website (no surprise there):

Has anyone seen a drinks/bar/mini fridge for sale anywhere?
I've tried Lotte Mart, Carrefour and a couple of the local electronic stores, but no luck. It seems like the medium sized fridges are pretty cheap so that there's no market for the mini ones, but I need one to fit under a bench like...

You don't often hear of shark attacks in Bali. Here's one I just came across:

Here's an interesting one. Who's at fault?
Doesn't it mean the minibus driver simply ran him over? Even if he tooted his horn?
This goes along with my theory that if something happens 80% of the time Indonesians plan/act/think as though it always happens.
I'm not sure why, possibly Balinese...
Me and the family really like going down to the beach in Sanur but we're not too keen to walk very far.
I can always get a park here, at Jalan Duyung:

I've got a normal house with a normal PLN electricity meter using the pulsa/credit system with a power limit of 4400 watts. The only reason we need the wattage as high as 4400 is that when western guests come to stay all the air-conditioners get turned on. The rest of the time the ACs don't get...

Does anyone know where I can go and inspect and buy gravel / pebbles by the truckload. I've seen a lot of places selling bags of various sized pebbles, but I need a truckload to do my driveway. I asked a local, but he gave me a truckload of directions instead of pebbles. ;)

Here's an article I just found: http://indonesiaexpat.biz/other/info-for-expats/protect-your-home-security-for-bali-residents/
Not sure I agree with everything in the article. Why doesn't anyone take my idea of living in a concrete bunker seriously? ;)
Fighter jets over Denpasar - possible escort for Bali 9 death row inmates
Just adding this note that as of 11:30am Bali time, there are 2 fighter jets circling very low over Denpasar. I don't think this bodes well for Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran.

Hi everyone, I'm in the market for a second hand Suzuki APV if anyone is looking to offload one. I'm budgeting for a price between 80 - 90 million. I'll take any colour but it must be one of the models that can seat 8 people. I think to accommodate 8 the two back seats need to be bench style...

Hi Everyone, I'm hoping to get some advice on floor tiles.
In Bali everyone seems to be crazy for granite floor tiles and these were included in the house package we've bought. But after checking out the type of tile we'll be getting I'm not so sure. They've got a glossy finish which is...
