Quit your job, move to Bali, start a new life. Sounds lovely doesn’t it? Doing all that is possible and does not require special skills, connections or a lot of money.

Bali has many options for home internet connection these days. The old dial up has pretty much gone out of the window, for most people with Telkom introducing DSL several months ago. Today I visited XL located on the Sunset Rd in Kuta.

Singapore the ‘go to’ hospital destination for Bali expats
Singapore is the ‘go to’ place for Bali expats, when they have a medical emergency. Locally we have a couple of good clinics, SOS International and BIMC, and Sanglah hospital in Denpasar for emergency surgery. If you need surgery and you have the choice, get on a plane to Singapore.

A stroll around the neighborhood in Seminyak Bali
A late afternoon stroll can be a good way to break he mental fatigue and experience new things. This afternoon heading out of my house, one of the first places I spotted was JP’s Warung, a restaurant, bar that has live music, 7 nights a week. On the corner of Jl. Seminyak and Jl. Dhyana Pura, traffic was moving okay, but during the day one can sit and watch traffic jams develop.
