Hi Rere, welcome to the forum. Unfortunately we are still stuck in -40C Canada! We still dream of moving back to Bali but we are still a ways out. I have a good job now which will let us save some money, however, its going to be at least 5+ years before we can try to make a permanent move to...

Thank you, Dr Bruce, I needed a quick Bali fix and this was just perfect! All the best to you and your family. Peace be upon you... Sergio

I agree with Roy, To challenge one's belief is fine, its even good to challenge your own beliefs. But why ask questions, tintin, that you don't want to waste your time finding the answer for? It seems your questions are loaded only to ridicule, and not to understand. My intentions were not...

SG, your idea of religion being about love and peace is a very noble one, unfortunately that is not always the case. "Islam is peace" is a classic misconception made by even many Muslims themselves. Hinduism and Christianity are no different. The truth is that there is a time for everything and...

Obviously the question was supposed to outline that Balinese do not sacrifice dogs for kicks and jollies, they do it purely for their religious beliefs. I don't know how the Hindu teachings were recorded and these sacrifices came about in Hindu beliefs, which is why I used the Old Testament as...

I always find it interesting where people draw the lines on which animals are "ok" to KILL and which ones are not. Whether it be to feast on their flesh or cloth ourself with their beautiful skins. Is it cuteness or personality? Clubbing a seal is wrong but very few care if we kill a fish. So...

Thanks for the welcome back, Jimbo and mimpimanis. Its nice to see you two are still here. :) We're doing ok, reading my last post back it seems more depressing than it really is. Frustrating is more the word I was thinking of. :wink: Cheers!

Hello to all that were here when I used to frequent more often and to all new members to the Bali Expat Forum. My Balinese wife and I have been dreaming of moving back to Bali with our two Canadian born children, Arjuna (5) and Sadewa (3). While we live normal life here in Canada, it has been...

Re: RE: Marriage protestant/ catholic Congratulations Theo and significant other! May you two live a blissful, health and happy life! I'm surprised to hear this, BaliLife, I would have thought that Catholic priests were not at liberty to marry a mixed couple. Could it have been maybe that the...

Noooo, don't do it Jimbo! Stay in Bali with Maria, your kids are I'd imagine quite independent at the college and university level and I'm sure they would love to come visit you two in Bali as much as they possibly could... I'm speaking for myself of course, I don't know what your situation is...

Re: RE: Jimbo and Family in Lovina My feelings exactly! Beautiful family Jimbo!

Welcome to the forum, SunFlower, and a belated congratulations on the birth of your son and on moving back to Bali next year! Both excellent reasons to celebrate! :D I'm glad the caesarean went smootly for you. Our youngest son was also born in December (27, 2004) but in Canada. We also plan...

Isn't it funny how the place of birth means so much when really it doesn't matter at all (other than medical reasons and nationality which from what the places you've listed is not the main deciding factor). But I totally understand, I was upset that my second son was born in Ottawa because I...

Congratulations brighty! Where every you decide on having your baby, may your baby be healthy and well and may your labour go as well as can be as well.

Thank you Roy, your post is very appropriate after the last terrorist alert thread. People who write these misleading headlines have no idea how much damage they do to the people in Bali who make a living of tourism. I believe there should definitely be a law against (if there isn't already)...

Great news frozzty, thanks for the update!

Happy belated Birthday and welcome to the forum Brad. For researching moving to Bali you've definitely joined the right community. I'm sure you will find the members here very useful in helping you with any questions you may have. Welcome to the forum. :)

I hate all the attention these misguided terrorist get as well, by the very definition of the word "terrorist" they have already succeeded in causing terror in many. Because we cannot ignore such threats they will always succeed whether they attack or not... I pray of course that they do not...

Bert, that blog link you posted... blatant and brutal! Those who wish to check it out, please do so by opening a new window and not coming from this great site here. Good luck Bert!

And I didn't even watch the video... I just know it already!
