I get heartburn/reflux and have not been able to find any of the chewable style relief... When I ask the chemist, they look at me very strangely. No one I talked to has heard of heartburn. If anyone knows anywhere that has them, would be great to know!

dry lube sticks - they look like a crayon and are great for putting on the runners in timber drawers ( ie; furnature ) to make them not stick and slide in and out with ease . I havent seen them here anywhere , but they sell them in oz

Use candle-wax - beeswax is best but petroleum wax works as well..
Just rub the contact areas with the (unlit) candle

Simple but true.... a bottle of your favorite spirits - really expensive locally, something to do with tax

Try asking for Promag. Maag can actually mean ulcer or stomach.

Things I buy every time I leave Bali. Shoes for my big feet. Largest shoe size at most stores in Bali is 43 or 44. Also, proper brown sugar. It is very hard to find even at the Gourmet markets.

Perhaps the availability of brown sugar has changed since you were here. I can find it at Bintang and Delta Dewata in Ubud and Hardy’s in Sanur. I just saw heaps of it today in Bintang.

There was a thread last year some time, asking the same questions. Maybe an idea to go and have a search for it, there were plenty of great ideas listed there. Oh, also I have heard that an e-reader is better than a kindle as it is not "locked" to amazon, who dont sent to Indonesia. Good luck and welcome to Bali :icon_biggrin:

Does anyone know if this is true. Is a kindle of no use in Indonesia?

Of course it is useful in Indonesia or any other country you can get to. It is just an ebook reader, and you can load ebooks onto it using software like Calibre calibre - E-book management. The fact that Amazon is unable to sell some ebooks to Indonesia (because of restrictions imposed by publishers) is just a minor inconvenience. You can find a huge range of books, build up your collection on a PC using Calibre, then download your current reading list to your Kindle., Nook, Sony reader, iPad, Android tablet, or whatever. Go for it.

Thanks Ron. I think that would be a good investment. I havenever used one or even downloaded a book on my pc.

I have a Kindle and love it. I haven't had any trouble buying books so far. Can anyone post a title that they couldn't buy in Indonesia so I can try? As Ron says you can copy any book to the device. It appears like a storage device when you connect it to your computer and you just copy the files across. I had a PDF of a book, converted it using the Calibre software (free) to Kindle's format (Mobi) and it worked fine.
