Canggu Bali: The fast developing new expat area
Canggu is a place that most surfers will know about, with its larger than Kuta swells, sandy beach and not much else. Canggu however is becoming better known in tourist and expat circles and living in Seminyak I can feel the way things are moving. Located 20 minutes north of Seminyak along the coast Canggu has rice fields that come right down to the beach. One of the special sights I like watching the water trickle down from the last paddy wall onto the beach, completing its long journey from the mountains to the sea. It's quite unique. A friend of mine from the US who has lived in Bali for 14 years moved out to Canggu 5 years ago and told me back then there were not many villas. As the amount of villas increased he told me, "I knew I was no longer the only one out there, but at least I could look over the wall of my bathroom and see just sawah (rice fields). It would seem like I was the only one there. Then one day someone built a villa right in the middle."

The Bottle Shop: Expat hangout in Seminyak
The Bottle Shop in Seminyak is something of a legend among expats. Located just down from Bale Bali on Jl. Kunti the Bottle Shop is the home bar of the Bali Geckos Aussie Rules team. Thank God they were not there when I visited.
