After exhausting the batteries that I have to fire up my camera I've discovered that I didn't pack a charger for them. Doh! I've sussed out a Sony joint in Denpasar and they may have them in stock but there are cheaper generic ones available. Here though? It's a Sony nex7 and it doesn't run on...

I'm seeking a reliable safe English-speaking driver with car for occasional work around Ubud, including collecting me and my groceries from Delta Dewata and pickups from restaurants at night. If the price is reasonable, there could be frequent work. Any recommendations?

Does anyone have advice on what to do about accommodation if my wife & I spend six moths each year in Ubud, with the other six months back in Australia. I don't want/need to work, we have been coming for a month each year for a few years now, staying in a hotel, and know some locals. Language...

Hi Guys First of all I'm a fake. I am not an ex pat per se. However, I come here 4 times a year and might as well be one. Only a few more years and I will retire here. OK now that's off my chest. I am going home to Australia on the 11 Dec and returning to Bali two weeks later. I...

Off Bali’s beaten track, past a towering banyan tree and next to an ancient Hindu temple, the world’s largest bamboo commercial structure is slowly taking shape: a chocolate factory. The three-story, 23,000-square-foot building — made from more than 3,000 long, flexible poles — is crowned...

I recently received an email from a good friend living in Bali (who also lives in Merida, Mexico). She is very integrated in the Balinese community, and she has always some interesting and very unusual experiences in her life on the island. For your enjoyment (I hope), I am posting part of her...

Yep! Mom is coming over, first time in Bali/Indonesia, together with a friend and it's me who will do the booking. BUT I have about zero experience of holidaying in Bali. They want to stay at some nice "Balinese style" Spa Hotel in Ubud for a week. After that they'd like to stay at some nice...

Recently I have been staying in Penestanan (just west of the Campuhan Hotel in Ubud), and from time to time drive south of Penestanan on Jl Campuhan 3 to Jl Nyuh Kuning. Half way along you pass this striking new 3 floor bamboo building with banners proclaiming an Indian Restaurant - Warung Om...
