UTILITIES:

Electricity in Bali fluctuates and goes out often. Be prepared. Check for generator facilities in apartment type units and explore oil/emergency lamps if not. Make sure that your computer has a UPS AND a stabilizer - it will save you lots of heartache! If your electricity seems to be acting up more than is normal even for Bali, send someone to PLN and ask them to come and check, especially around 6 PM when usage is maximal. Don’t just call.

Telephone: There are no special problems but perspective tenants should check the house to see that there is actually a working phone. There are some areas where it is difficult to get a land line and you might have to wait 2-3 years ( Sanur, some areas for example). There are now ‘flexi’ phones working off of satellites so it is not as dire an issue as in the past.

Water: many homes have city water. If so, you MUST choose bottled water - the city water leaves white deposits on the flowers! Some homes have well water. If so, it is advised to also have a water tower so you will have a supply of water even if the electricity is out and the pump is not able to function.

Hansip/Garbage - both depend on local conditions. I pay 5,000 for daily garage pick up and 10,000 for monthly hansip (Security). Some Sanur residents pay as much as 75,000 for garbage though the collector speaks English!

The Holistic Healing Center concentrates on Naturopathy or the Healing Power of Nature which is basically a holistic approach to health and disease. Naturopathy/Homeopathy attempts to create the conditions which enable a body to heal itself. One aspect is Iridology or the science of analyzing the iris to determine predispositions to certain conditions before they have become acute and difficult to manage. A strong part of the program is NAET or Dr. Nambudipad’s Allergy Elimination Techniques. Undiagnosed allergies contribute to many diseases most of us don’t even suspect and this treatment is totally non intrusive, non oral and safe for young children. Also offers hypnotherapy, iridology, herbal remedies, nutrional advice, detox programs,
and sells vitamins and supplements.

HOUSING:

Housing is available at all price levels. Many expats live in and around Seminyak and the Kerobokan area. There are also lots of rentals in the Sanur area. Ditto Renon which is not that far from Sanur but on the non-beach side of the by pass. Houses are both one and two stories, some have Balinese flavor, some have pools.

Lots of classified ads in the local paper, Bali Pos, as well as the paper no expat can do without: The Bali Advertiser. It has grown to 56 pages and comes out, free, every two weeks. Bali Advertiser: Jl. Majapahit No. 46, Kuta Tel. (62-361) 755-392 Fax 764-191 info@BaliAdvertiser.biz Web http://www.BaliAdvertiser.biz

EATING OUT - Restaurants in Bali

Really not an issue in Bali. Just choose the area you want to eat in. Kuta is full of restaurants, likewise Sanur and Ubud. Types: vegetarian (Aromas in Kuta), Chinese all over the place, Indian - mostly Kuta and Sanur, Japanese - three or four branches of Riyoshi, Kafe Batu Jimbar. For salady lunches - Sanur, Kafe Batu Jimbar, for open air dinners, La Luciola on the beach in Seminyak for Italian, Warisan is not to be missed but reservations are now necessary for dinner. Ubud has the wonderful Batan Waru and Terazo, same owners. Also Tukmak, Indus and super unusual Lamak. Warung Murni is worth it for the view of the ravine. If you really want to get OUT, try Kampung Kafe in Tegallang, north of Ubud.

Fast food - well, the usual: McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Kentucky, Baskins & Robbins, Hagen Daas, Dunkin Donuts, Krispy Kreme …

THINGS NOT TO MISS

JENGGALA: PT Jenggala Keramik on the Uluwatu II road in Jimbaran. Aside from a wonderful selection of ceramics, wood and silver chopsticks, glassware, there is a small café and a gallery with exhibits changing about every 3 months.

WATERBOM: a great complex of water activities with several food outlets. One of a kind water slides including the macaroni tube. Open daily. Jl Dewi Sartika. 755-676

NEKAa MUSEUM: Ubud. Great collection of a variety of artists and styles.

THREADS OF LIFE: a shop and an organization. The shop is in Ubud, on Jl. Kajeng near the palace. You can see different types of weaving and get an idea from books and brochures about the tremendous work Jean and William are doing to bring back old techniques of weaving and dying in several parts of eastern Indonesia. They commission work to sell in the USA to bring back funds to do more. A great idea and one that certainly needed doing - just in time before the skills die off totally.
