    How much should I pay

    Interesting article Balilife. All to true. Shares or Property, the only losers are short term buyer and sellers. The long term position is always up! Too many people follow the flock.

    Moving To Bali - Our Storey

    Hi Ronb, Thanks for the info. Interesting point you raise about the school year. They girls will be going to the Australian International School which follows the Victorian curriculum. So just figured their school is same as ours. But as you say. Won't really matter if that is not the case.
