Hi Guys
Well the time has come. Doing my last bit of packing, then catching my plane to Tokoyo then to Singapore and arriving in Bali 21:30 on Wednesday after almost 23 hours in the air. I know it seems the long route but I have just finished a contract in Moscow, I spent Christmas and New Year in the UK. So as I’m out of work I want to save money and have millions of Air miles, so although I would use them. I had to buy a ticket from Singapore to Denpasar but it’s an Eticket so I’m a little worried having read on this forum about emigration sometimes needing to see a return ticket as I arriving on a tourist visa. I’m staying in Lovina in a nice little resort with just 2 bungalows and costing less than third the price it would cost to stay in England. I know from previous experience that daily living there will be a lot cheaper than UK so I’m hoping to stretch my money as far as it will go. I can check the work situation via the internet (I hope) and usually my interview are by phone, Bali seems to be as good a place as any to be out of work. Although I will be arriving in the middle of the rainy season I am sure the weather will still be better than either Moscow (Usually -25 in January) or UK. I am looking forward to meeting some of you, I’ve been lurking on this site for over six months and feel as if I know some of you already. I am expecting you guys to be my lifeline as I am sure I will be asking many questions over the next few months I’m under no illusion that living in Bali will be nothing like my previous holidays so I think I will need something to occupy me so I am hoping to get involved with a fellow expats business venture in starting up an elite diving experience, if nothing else it will occupy the lonely days.
I hope to see you soon for a beer or 3.
