Nyepi – the Balinese Hindu New Year, and a public holiday for all Indonesians – coincides with the new moon of the spring equinox. In 2016 this will be a very special new moon, because it will produce one of the most spectacular things in nature: a total solar eclipse. On Nyepi Day...

Seeing as there isn't a forum for earth tremors, earthquakes, acts of nature, storms, etc, I am posting into here. I felt a very, very small tremor this morning at 8:47. Over the past few years I have felt them, mostly in the mornings before 10:00am. I wonder if the time of day (Earth...

On the bypass, just past Splash Bakery. They have their own pig ranch (?) and produce really good quality charcuterie. The butcher, Willi is a 3rd generation butcher and his business partner, Pete is a displaced Zimbabwean farmer. It is well worth a try!

I keep getting spam about satellite internet but, as soon as I open, it says not available in your area. Does anyone know about satellite internet...is it available anywhere and, if so, is it any good? I know that some cities have internet coverage, using antennas, but if the world was covered...

We have been using Speedy for a few years now and pretty happy with their service. During rainy season however, it just stops working for no reason and sometimes during big storms the outages become more frequent. Anyone else have this problem?
