Newcomers to Bali will often be concerned with logistical questions such as how to get around the country, via internal plane flights, boat trips to places such as Nusa Lembongan or the Gilis, currency exchange, bus tours and airline ticket confirmation. Finding a handy travel agent who can handle all of this is a good [...]

Times change and things move on. Anyone who had visited Bali in 2003 probably remembers places such as Spy Bar, Liquid and a host of other places, which are now closed. One place I checked out in July 2003 was the Secret Garden on Poppies I in Kuta. Owner Alvin Hancocks from England told me [...]

Lonely Planet has such a reputation that many small business owners in Bali feel its make or break to get included. I reckon providing a good service is more important than pleasing LP, but being recommended doesn’t hurt. I know the owner of Secret Garden, on Poppies Lane I in Kuta, and he was not [...]

Kuta restaurants: A great selection for any budget

Kuta is high density tourism. The narrow streets are packed with shops, hotels and restaurants. One of the best things about Kuta is the choice of food and its afforable price. Factors affecting price are the cost of the ingredients and the location of the restaurant. Rice, chicken and vegetables are cheap, imported beef and [...]

Sunday here in Seminyak, Ika wanted me to go shopping with her. That meant baby stuff, house stuff and browsing the department store. I was not into that so I gave her some money and she took her sister and Jevon. You can take my money, but I am not interested in a spending a [...]
