Why shouldn't I dare to comment on he thread, do you think you have the sole right to deliver an opinion ?
Ofcourse I read the Aussie newspaper story.
I'm aware that there has been incidents down Kuta Lombok where tourists has been robbed in broad daylight. There are some villages down south where it's a bit like in "the wild west". Can't see that it should stop people from coming to Lombok. In Bali it's also an almost daily thing happening...
Having lived a long time in Lombok both on Gili Trawangan and mainland Lombok I simply don't understand what justinbali is talking about. Not ones in all the years I lived there did I hear about or see blond women being harrased sexually or otherwise, told to cover up etc etc.

Hinakos,
I'll soon be going to Vietnam for a 3 weeks stay. Really looking forward to it, will be my first visit to Vietnam. Feel free to recommend some "must" see attractions in the HCMC area. There for 4 days and then of to Phu Quoc for 10 days. No set plans for the last week but has been...
I have lived a long time on Gili T. Sold my land (20are) and house last yr. First of all you have to be EXTREMELY careful when buying land on Gili T. Most of the land is NOT free hold and can't be sold, owned by the government. You must see the land certificate before going in to any kind of...
My friend Gloria living in a small village outside of Lovina has had thiefs in her house twice in a very short while. A terrible experience for her and her daughter. After the first time they went to Ubud and bought a Rottweiler puppy. When it's fully grown it will be a good thing to have in the...
This is exactly the answer I would expect from you Markit.
Great if it's difficult to adopt. Difficult doesn't equal with impossible. Do it the right way and not by buying a child. It's always the childs safety that comes first and not a persons wish to have a child at all costs. My original...
Good luck in selling your property. It shouldn't be difficult. I sold my house and 20 are land on Gili Trawangan in June -12 and got very well paid. It was actually my post here on Balipod that was seen by the buyer.
I know what you'r talking about Gilbert and I find it revulting that corruption is showing it's ugly face even when it comes to adopting a child. No wonder that the Yayasan you'r talking about is wealthy. This is nothing less then buying a child and not what I would call adoption.
Who is...
The local church can't do a thing when it comes to adopting in Indonesia. Read the links I added to my first answer and you'll find that the requirements are very specific and only a few orphanages appointed by the Indonesian Government are involved in the process.
First of all singles can not...

during my yrs in Lombok I keept a small apartment in Sweden for my yearly visits. I had it insured with a Swedish insurancecompany and through that company I was able to get an additional insurance for health- and dental care abroad. Included evacuation if needed with SOS International...

You'r right in saying that it's cheaper in Lombok but not by a big extent. We could have rented a much fancier house but for what reason? How many rooms does 2 people need? Shopping at Heros or at the western delicatessens would have doubled our costs. I didn't include my health insurance...
I find it hard to belive that anyone should have to count on spending 30 mill a month living in Indonesia. I have lived 12 yrs in Lombok (not any more) . We had a really good living standard but spend a fraction of 30 mill. Had our own house on Gili Trawangan but rented another on main land...
