Well I for one find Balipod very informative and it is my prescribed reading to start the day. The likes of Markit, Balifrog and others need to keep it alive. I for one will add my thoughts and what little knowledge I have of the life on the island as I get to it.

Does that also apply to the Spouse Kitas Markit. If it does how long must you be on the Spouse kitas before you become eligible. I tried to search the forum but had little or no success

Thanks mate. Don't need the volcano and tsunami cover. We're not near enough to either to be affected if that should occur at least it would need to be pretty catastrophic for it to affect us I think. Can you let me have a contact for Allianz please.

Can one of you guys give me whatever information you might have regarding house and content insurance. (s it an available item here on the island and if so what sort of premiums are asked for.

so I need a shower curtain that can be easily installed. In the past in another life I used an expanding rod that was held between the two walls with a rubber cup at either end. Is such a thing available in Bali and if so where from. Sorry to ask such seemingly obvious questions but I haven't...

Guys, just moved into my new house and realise that the bathroom door is getting wet from the shower. Now I saw a waterproof sealant in the form of a brush on paint type material advertised but I can't find any trace of it at either Mitre 10 or Ace. Can somebody give me a suggestion on how to...

Thanks mate I'll do that

G'day Markit and thanks for your reply. The prices I have been quoted for this drug are ridiculous. I'm well aware of the fact that as a "bule" I'm being taken advantage of but I have to grin and bear it until I can get back to Australia where i can get the medication very cheaply using my...

Thankyou Matsaleh. I have used Adi Guna in the past and found them very good. i have sent them a Whatsapp message but no reply yet.

Guys, I've just been diagnosed with CML and need to find a cheap reliable source of the medication i need. So far I've been quoted Rp6 million monthly and that will quickly break the bank. Can anyone suggest where i might go to get the medication short of flying back to Australia which is my...

Yeah thanks for the reply mate. Looks like I have a relative coming to Bali next month so problem solved.

Thanks for the reply mate

I guess this has probably been asked before but can somebody give some advice as to the best method for sending a Bank debit card from Australia to Bali. I've been thinking that maybe DHL would be the best but if anyone has a better or more secure suggestion can you let m e know please.

Give this guy a call. He has designed and built a place for me in Gianyar on 200are. The guys name is Agung Alit and his company is B2Arch 82237343588. He has supervised the work done and I have seen the quality. Not as good as western standards but then this is Indonesia.

Yep I did have a problem getting access a few days ago much the same as Matsaleh but it hasn't happened again so I thought maybe it was just one of those unexplained glitches.

We're in Jimbaran and my wife said she read on FB that there had been a quake but we didn't feel it at all.

Personally Markit I would rather the place came with a fully installed kitchen. I'm a relatively new boy here in Bali and I'm struggling with the issues around building a house right now. I'd rather the place were finished completely so I could just move in and relax.

Thanks very much for this Mark. I'm a relatively new boy on the Bali expat front. Met my wife three years ago and retired up here a bit over 12 months ago. The Indonesian bureaucracy gives me real cause for concern. What I do know for sure is that anything you do through an agent they charge...

Looking for s Some advise and guidance guys. I currently have a retirement kitas and want to change it to a spouse kitas. Contemplating doing it without using an agent. My wife seems confident she can deal with immigration. Any guidance and advise would be gratefully received.

Far more idiot bule riding motorbikes, thongs and no helmets. I sometimes think many of them have a death wish!!!
