I have been married to a (Chinese) Indinesian for nearly 30 years. First time I went to Jakarta was 21 years ago. It was supposed to be permanent, but I lasted only 5 months. Finding out I was pregnant with our 3rd child only two weeks after arriving didn't help. Not to go into too much detail...

We are (still) thinking of a move to Bali. My husband is Indonesian, so we would be looking to buy a house freehold in his name. But can anyone tell me what would happen to the ownership if anything should happen to him? Not something I like to think of, but something that needs to be considered.

I have bred dogs (Bullmastiffs and Dogue de Bordeaux) for 12 years, and I hate to think about the money we have spent at the vets in that time. But when you have a pet you have the responsibility of taking care of it, no matter what the cost. What would Roy do with a sick dog, put a gun to it's...

Good God, does it really cost over £2000 to bring a lab to Bali from Europe? We were thinking of bringing our Bordeaux (Turner & Hooch) with us, which is a bit bigger than a Lab, but will have to re-think now. I take it that cost includes greasing the palms of the local immigration authorities?

I am so sorry to hear about this. We went to Bali for the first time this year, and loved it. We met some very nice Balinese, and I hope they are all safe and well, and also all of you living there.

When I said the south is having problems coping with the number of tourists, I meant its infrastructure, not room occupancy. My fault for not being clear enough. And thanks, Grastaman, for your concern over my marriage, but we have been married nearly 30 years, so I think divorce is failry...

Well, we have no intention of buying leasehold, and as my husband is Indonesian, we have no problem with ownership. If I had the choice, I would go for the traditional Balinese look with open living everytime, my idea of heaven. From what I have seen on the net, many of the new villas are...

Hi this is my first post, so here goes. We are thinking of moving to Bali, but were shocked by the cost of property and land in the south . Our original idea was to buy 2 or 3 properties, with a view to renting 2 and living on the income, but it looks like the only place we could afford to do...
