Hey all, and thanks to the admins for approving me and managing this forum.
As the title says, former expat. Lived in Cambodia for around 3 years, got married, got divorced, started one of these expat forums myself, sold my half to my partner, moved back home.
It was a wonderful wild adventure, and I'm beyond excited to be heading back to South East Asia again for a vacation. My girlfriend, and another couple, will be joining me this time (all Americans, sorry about the guy running the place). We're in Bali (Semarapura area, beach resort) for 5 nights... obviously much of that spend will just be soaking up sun and surf, but we're also interested in some nightlife (love all music, particularly house music and blues/jazz), the best places to get good grub (local dishes mostly), the best places to get a beer and relax or dance, and so on. Some good cultural experiences would be nice as well, and tour guide suggestions for enjoying them.
Also, would like advice... do's/don'ts.. etc. Example, should I rent a moto, or do I just rely on public transport/cabs/tuktuks/etc? What are the scams to watch out for.
Thanks in advance for any help/advise you can offer!
