So You Think
You’d Like to Live in Bali? by Rachel Greaves
Moving to Bali Guide
 How to Start a Business in Bali - It can be difficult enough starting a successful business in your own country, let alone in a foreign country like Indonesia. The dream of running your own guesthouse or restaurant by the beach on a tropical island like Bali, doesn't stop people wanting to give it a try.
This guide on how to start a business in Bali was written to help guide people through the ropes of setting up a company and establishing a successful business. The book goes beyond the author's experience by including interviews with successful expat entrepreneurs who have a combined experience of over 80 years in Indonesia. The advice is practical and to the point. While the guide focuses on Bali, the information could also be applied to other locations in Indonesia as well.
"How to Retire in Bali" - as the title suggests is a complete guide to retiring in Bali. The guide book covers all of the essential information you need to know before contemplating a move to Bali, such as visas, health care, insurance, buying property, finding accommodation and adapting to life in Bali. The book includes interviews with retirees who have already made the move to Bali. You can learn from their experiences and come out with a better understanding of what it is actually like to live in Bali, rather than just visiting the island for a holiday.

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 quite a while. However, a persistent expat, who can get past the front desk and speak to the "Senior Officer", will often find that in fact there are some lines available (for the persistent!). 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 - costs and service of 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!

Food - grocery stores and supermarkets

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. Prices of all rentals have gone up tremendously in the past two years so don’t expect miracles if you are on a limited budget.
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 78
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 www.BaliAdvertiser.biz
DINING 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 but the best is Queens across from Made’s Warung Seminyak , Japanese - three or four branches of Riyoshi, newly opened Sushi Tei on Sunset. For salady lunches - Sanur, Kafe Batu Jimbar and now open for dinner with live music on Thursdays; 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. Don’t forget Chris Salens’ Mozaic, the only Michelin starred restaurant in Indonesia. 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.
New in Pettitenget, both BIKU for delicious lunches, high tea and all day treats and Café Degan for Indonesian and Thai with a special dessert section that is yummy.
Kafe Batu Jimbar - Jl. Tamblingan, Sanur - homemade
dark bread and wonderful cakes, homemade apple butter.
Fast food - well, the usual: McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Kentucky, Baskins
& Robbins, Hagen Daas, Dunkin Donuts.
