Hi,
I'm new to this and it's taken me all of ten minutes to figure out how to post a message.
I'm planning a trip to Bali in the near future and was hoping to find some advice from someone who lives there.
In the past I've lived in Egypt, Sri Lanka, France and Germany.
I'm from Newcastle upon Tyne.

Hi Christine and a warm welcome to the forum

I would suggest you check out the Indonesia forum on here and maybe add a thread of your own.... now you've figured out how to do it hehe.

You can follow this link below:

It's a bit of a quiet and developing forum in Indonesia but I do know that Davita on there has a place in Bali, so he may be able to help. I've got a good friend here in Penang who has just moved from Bali, so I may be able to ask her too.

Are you planning a long stay in Bali?

Hello Baked Bean! And thank you for your prompt reply. I'm planning a short visit initially, alone. If I'm perfectly honest, I'm a little worried by the plethora of negative travellers' tales about Bali that can be read on the web, so I wanted to find out from someone who lives there and knows what it's really like. It was very kind of you to take the time to respond. Thanks again.
