Hi Gilbert. I'm sure it was a simple mistake due to the locations holding similar names....but just to clarify. Queensland is a state in Austrlaia - subtropical in the south & tropical in the north. You won't find snow there...well at least you shouldn't and if you did it sure would wake up...

Hi all, it's been a long time since my last post and I hope this finds you all well. I only wish it were a more pleasant topic but it's about BED BUGS...I've got them! I'm not sure where they came from - I guess I'm a prime candidate as I stay in a lot of hotels both in Bali/Indo & abroad...

Thanks all. Embassy has my STM but they want the criminal record report (forgotten what it is called). All efforts and indications suggest it is impossible to get legally without KITAS...so I'm going down the Stat Dec path. Hinakos - next to impossible is right! You wouldn't believe the...

Hi all...wondering if anyone has ever applied for a police report (required for a citizenship application) without a KITAS? It's my understanding that you need a Kitas to apply....well at least technically speaking anyway. I'm about to do a stat dec stating that I'm not eligible for a...

Out of habit, when wanting to express to hawkers that I am not going to buy, I use a hand gesture that is extremely common in Cambodia. It is the symbol that accompanies the Khmer word "Akmin" which loosely means - "Don't have" or "don't want". I call it....changing the light bulb. You...

Prima Medika in Denpasar, is where I'd be heading if I had to have a cyst removed. 250,000 for consultation without Kitas. No idea what the procedure would cost you. Jalan Pulau Serangan No 9X Denpasar (0361) 236225

One last suggestion. Get creative with your interior design. I was getting poop all over my computer and myself on more than one occasion...splat...scared the bejusus out of me! I didn't want to move my computer and office set-up so I suspended some cheap but pleasant fabric below the...

Uh oh....I'm heading to a cold climate on Weds and just realized I left the few winter clothes I had in Aust when visited last winter. Anyone got any suggestions on where I might be able to pick up something warm to wear in a large size? A simple black pullover thingy would be nice but at...

Hello all. A last minute opportunity has come up for a quick break - mid next week. Scanned airfares and have decided I'd like to visit a friend in Spain. Checked with my visa agent here and I still have enough time to get everything I need for a 1yr Multiple Entry Biz Visa instead of...

There was a wall at Kuta Central for a while (not indoors but the same thing). Don't know where it got to but it must have gone somewhere. I'd ask at BIS like gibbndip, suggested.

It may be worth noting that this the opinion of the Deputy Leader of the Opposition...so is hardly surprising. All I can say is PHEW!! And very silly of Kev 0'sev to put it to tender in the first place. The Seven Network had it for a while and Downer had to go grovelling back the...

Thanks Liebling. A little further research and it seems that the first big hurdle this medication will face will be getting out of Australia where it turns out posting prescription medicines is illegal. Well posting medications on the PBS is anyway (Pharmaceutical Benefit Scheme)...

Yes...nice post Tintin. I remember when I was young and working as a waitress in Canada...we all used to fight over working in the smoking section - the tips were a LOT better.

I'm trying to having some prescription medications posted or couriered over from Australia. I'll leave it up to the sender to determine the best method to despatch with regard to cost, speed, regulations etc. I'm primarily concerned about the customs declaration and was thinking it might be...

Guess it will happen eventually. I never believed it would be enforced in BKK but it is enforced and quite strictly. Even China has the laws in place now (although not enforced). If and when a smoking ban in public spaces is ever enforced. I'm curious what would be considered a tourist zone...

Thanks Mark and Tony. At this stage I've only got a few things to make. I think I'm going to try getting the artist down at the beach to do some better sketches for me...he's very talented and has great English. Pretty sure he'll be able to get a lot closer to what I'm trying to represent...

Hi all. I'm hoping to have a few sketches I've drawn made up into clothes. Has anyone had any experience with having clothes made from sketches (not samples or photos). I could really use any advice, tips, referrals as I've never had anything made from drawings before. Sketches are not...

Hi Daniel and welcome to the forum and Bali. Enjoy.

Don't wish too hard....you might get asked for all the requirements for a retirement visa. Can't have it both ways and I'll take the room for negotiation approach every time!

Great advice Soontobe. Natasha...how are your bites/rash doing? Your description of your bites also reminded me of sandflies, probably not though. Bloody nasty little shits..they are! Anyone ever experienced sandflies at any beaches in Bali?
