Re: RE: Crackdown on Rogue Bali Police Officers Possibly 8) What forum was it??

Um........I think that was aimed at me, Roy. Thanks for the welcome and I'd love to join you in Ubud for a Martini (preferable over Bintang any day) if I ever make it past all the corrupt police out of the ghetto that is Kuta. :wink:

Roy, Very well put. From me too.........that's it!!

Re: RE: Crackdown on Rogue Bali Police Officers Swisshawaiian, I wouldnt worry too much about it............some people cant be helped :roll:

Secretive..........Moi??? I think the name says it all (London)............and as I suspected all along you dont actually READ what other people post, or you might actually understand what is occuring here. I have said I'm in the UK!! NO SECRET!! Drink some camomille tea and calm...

Re: RE: Crackdown on Rogue Bali Police Officers Well, I dont know who's generalising the most here!!! I make a point of going to Bali evey year with NOT enough money, being the cheap backpacker that I am. Mark, my friend you have just proven to myself you're not all there. Adhajal...

Re: RE: Crackdown on Rogue Bali Police Officers What the hell are you going on about??? You might not need my kind in Bali, but I'm sure a lot of local people would disagree with you. It's people like me who spend a month or two in Bali a year who put food into the mouths of the losmen...

Mark, I really dont know where you're coming from. What is your point and how are people like me making your life a misery?? From what I can gather you are newly arrived in Bali. Over the past 10 years, I've probably spent a year in total in Bali, so I probably know a little more as to...

Well, In the UK it's not illegal to drive without your licence, you get 7 days to produce your licence at a police station. I was admitting I broke the law in Indonesia, therefore I should pay a fine...........I wasnt crying about it. So whats wrong with me paying a police officer on the...

I WISH I WAS BACK IN BALI NOW!!!!

I've just got back from a month in Bali and had a great time. I was stopped by the police while on my motorbike a few times. Normally I had my intl driving licence with me, but if I was just zipping around local to where I was staying (poppies2 or the beach or Kuta square) I didnt bring it...

RE: What Oh.......that was me by the way

If you get yourself a Lonely Planet or Rough Guide, there's hotels in all price ranges, normally with phone numbers if you want to book ahead. You should have no problem booking rooms as the European holidays end at the end of August, so things are generally quieter. Have a good trip!

9 nights in Sanur!!!! Arent you restricting yourself by booking your accomodation in advance. What if you fall in love with Lombok, but have to leave after 2 days because of bookings? Personally I would book the first couple of nights and play the rest by ear. The hotels in Bali arent...

Hi Anicca, I'm a newbie as well, so welcome to the both of us. I've been going to Bali for the past 10 years and have finally made the decision to move there within 2 years, so I suppose we're in a similar position. Personally I think your best bet is to stay in a cheap hotel until you...

Funny stuff!!! But you have to admit they know good food!! Where has Captain Haddock's, Jl Benesari dissappeared to. I'd just like to remind you on this present invasion of Iraq by the US and Brits, that before the 'war' was declared over by Bush, the Americans killed more British troops...

RE: What Cheers for the replies. I'll avoid dollar bills and bring some crispy £50 notes and my bank card. I think the money changer I mentioned is the PT Central Kuta...........just couldnt think of the name. The place I stay in is a pretty safe, familly run place, so I reckon no problems...

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum, but I've been going to Bali for the last 10 years. Normally when I come, I'd bring US dollars travellers cheques, but I noticed in the money changer I use just on the outskirts of Kuta on the main road to Denpasar by the bridge over the river/sewer, that there...
