Within his first couple weeks on the job, Bali’s new police chief is taking action to show tackling the island’s traffic problem is top priority. Even if you’re already familiar with Kuta’s streets, you’re going to have to pay close attention in the coming days, as test changes to one-way...

Hello everyone. Finally secured some land at Balian Beach. We are now trying to find a good builder who understands good quality work and charges a fair rate. Not an exorbitant rate. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Regards Gary

I'm looking for a quality memory king-size mattress-topper but cannot find. Almost brought from Costco in Vancouver but really heavy to tranship. Any outlets in Bali or Jakarta as I'd like to feel the quality first.

This is the latest in a long line of things that make me wonder if the Japanese are really from this planet: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2016/11/28/a-japanese-theme-park-thought-it-was-a-good-idea-to-freeze-5000-dead-fish-in-a-skating-rink/?wpisrc=nl_most-draw8&wpmm=1

For those that live elsewhere and/or haven't been following it this is an interesting synopsis of general life issues here. I don't know how much or how little these events will impact on Bali but I'm sure there has been some "filter down" in the shape of alcohol bans and a general reluctance to...

The latest travel advisory from the Australian Government: A major protest is planned for central Jakarta on Friday 4 November (related protests may take place in other cities). Reports indicate that extremists may seek to use protests on 4 November to conduct acts of violence. We strongly...

You can see her in the photo (top right): Two Malaysians arrested for allegedly smuggling drugs to Bali - National - The Jakarta Post I don't think too many people can handle what she has been doing, but quite amazingly she copes so well. I know I am biased but I know of no one who would I...

I use to buy things in Lotte Mart two or three times per a year and until now it has been good, but I haven't been there for almost six months and I went last week. My personal experience it was really bad and I got a little bit stress, many things didn't have price or the shelves were emthy, or...

Does anyone know where there is a phone that I can use to make an international reverse charge call (bloody banks and their security codes) Denpasar/Kuta area hopefully? Post offices had them once or do they still? Thanks in advance

It has become quite common for the government to destroy foreign owned boats/ships that have been caught fishing illegally in Indonesian waters by blowing them into thousands of pieces as a public display of how the government exercise their authority,the latest display being on Independence...

This is the first time I'll be returning to Indonesia with a spouse sponsored kitas. My kitas is valid for 1 year, do I need to show a ticket out of the country before that date or is there no need for that with a kitas?

Australia moves north by as much as 7cm per year,so recently they have made changes to its exact location for gps purposes, Seems the earths plates are to blame for the movement,the last changes made were back in the early 80`s meaning it has moved as much as 1.5 mtrs since then, Seems the...

Must be a first for the Jakarta Post to apologise to its readers for reporting ALL 14 convicts were executed in Nusakambangan...then retracted to only 4. "The Jakarta Post made a serious error of judgment on Thursday night when it decided to run on its front page a headline story for the...

We've had Telkom cable TV for about four years and it's been just OK. The picture went blank yesterday and no-one answers the phone. My wife will go to the office tomorrow but meanwhile I'd ask members for opinion on a better service (I live in Kerobokan). We get CBN fiber TV (Dens TV) included...

Have noticed a downward trend here and hope that it is only summer doldrums? Or are the ever more intrusive adds here pissing other users off too?

I just watched this movie and thought it might be of interest: River (2015) - IMDb It is set in Laos, which is one reason I liked it as it brought back memories of travelling there. It was also a good reminder how a situation fuelled by alcohol can easily get out of control, and SE Asia is not...

Just for your info, I have just achieved this milestone. It consists of a letter from Immigration with the heading Permanent Stay Permit Extension, and down in the letter it says "for an indefinite period". With it comes a KITAP card that says "Date to Report" is 5 years from now. Likewise...
