Hi all,
I am new to this website and forum and have to say its excellent source
of information for me, but I am moving to Bali for a new job and I am
very excited about it as part of the package I am getting my visa's
getting sorted for me and my 1st months accommodation in around a place
called Jimbaran.
Thing is I have some questions they are silly ones but you guys problem
get them all the time.
1st accommodation I would love to just rent a room for 3-6 months in a
flat/house-share how easy is this to find is there a website/local paper
where I could find information is it as cheap as the my immigration
office is telling that $300 a month would find a cheap apartment and
less a month for flatshares.
2nd . Where can I learn to speak the local language? Balinese or
Indonesian. is there local collages/support groups within the expat
community that could help, I lived in the south of china for a long time
and know learn to speak the lingo you will get on a lot more than the
rude tourist.
3rd Mobile phone and broadband. I need to find a mobile network the
supports blackberry ping service so I can text my family back home best
if its on pay as you go terms any tips, also mobile broadband/landline
broadband is it really as expensive as people are telling me. I use
about 15-30 GB a month in the uk.
4th bank accounts with online banking any banks offer these services in
English.
I know there is somethings on this list I could find out myself and have
done but I thought best thing to do is ask you guys and girls the
experts for a second opinion. If you want to speak with me directly you
can email me or if you have blackberry messenger feel free to add me
details are below
Kind regards
Alan
