Bali House Hunting
Smokin’ out the mozzies in Seminyak Bali
Sitting in my upstairs bedroom late this afternoon, I heard a sound that had made me run in the past. Made the gardener, was outside in the parking area, with one of those ‘fogging machines’, designed to kill insects. My neighbor 2 doors down, an Aussie guy who surfs, recently got dengue fever, so fogging the area seemed a good idea. Ika came up and told me she wanted him to do the garden too, which I agreed to. We don’t get charged for this, which is nice, as the owner pays for it. As I watched Made, working unprotected in the garden, the cloud of noxious fumes climbed to my window. The fumes smell like petrol and kill adult mosquitoes. They do not kill the larvae, unfortunately, so this is a short term solution.

Expat websites for living in Indonesia
Seems to me there are more people moving to Bali / Indonesia as expats. I don’t know about other people who live here, but I seem to be always running into people, who have ‘just moved to Bali a year ago’. With that in mind, I thought it might be useful to list some websites to help the other half of humanity, who still haven’t moved here.

Mega Resort Complex: Jimbaran, Bali
Late last year I was down on the Bukit Peninsula with some Balinese friends of mine having a look around. I was eager to check out Pura Uluwatu to see if any changes had occurred as I had not been there for a while.

Stay cool in Bali: Increase the air-flow
Visiting Bali in 1993, I had the opportunity of visiting a lady who owned a house at Batubelig beach in Seminyak. The house was a lovely western style bungalow, bamboo / alang alang roof, with 3 bedrooms, living room, kitchen etc.

Tropical Houses in Indonesia
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?.

Looking back to Jan 9th 2003 in Seminyak Bali
What were you doing on this day 3 years ago? For me it easy to remember, I just look through my archives and I can see. On this day in 2003 I had been in Bali about a week and was in the process of looking for a house to rent. I remember a selection of locals would come to my guest house on Poppies II in Kuta and say “I have house for you to look at.” These guys were all hoping for a commission of course. I hooked up with Bali Land & Houses on Jl. Raya Kerobokan and they showed me many places, including the one I visiting on this day 3 years ago.
