One of the first things I had to take care of, after arriving back in Bali is my visa. I came in on a VOA (visa on arrival), and want to renew my Multiple Entry Business Visa. Before leaving for Europe, the staff at Arjuna Immigration Services, told me Multiple entries were not given out anymore.
Most of us would dearly adore living in the tropics and especially Bali. Getting your own house there or renting it, and generally enjoying life to the max. But, what kind of house would you choose?.
Bali has about 30 ISP’s (internet service providers). A couple of the most famous are Global Xtreme and Blueline.
Today I got a call from one of the lovely young ladies at Arjuna immigration consultants in Kerobokan. My monthly visa extension was coming around again and I needed to pay the fee, sign papers and give 2 passport photos. Being in Kuta at the time, knocking out a bunch of errands I swung by the Fuji camera shop on the left side of Jl. Legian in Kuta. The 4 photos cost me 20,000rp and took 5 minutes.
Since yesterday’s drama with my power regulator, things have picked up here in Seminyak.
Expats living in Bali have numerous broadsheets and periodicals available to them. One of my favourites is the Bali Advertiser among others but my all time favourite is Bog Bog.
Today Ika, Jevon and I rode around Tegallalang, Tampaksiring and Ubud, exploring (getting lost) and enjoying the path less traveled (dealing with meter wide potholes). There is some nice real estate in that area (I should be an agent) and my GPS recored it all for me.
Okay Baliblog worldwide audience, who wants to run their very own guest house in Bali? Bingin is one of the choice surf spots in Bali, located close to Dreamland on the Bukit peninsula. Here’s how you can get that guest house.
Moving into my first house in Bali 3 years ago happened on this day in 2003. I remember clearly living in Ronta Bungalows in Kuta with Sean, the 2 twin bed room costing something like 35,000rp per night. We were just getting set up in Bali and were lucky to have a place like Ronta that was, cheap, handy and low stress. Back then Kuta was relatively quiet and Ronta had only a couple of other guests, including a noisy Italian woman next door.
