About
this is a place where to gather info and contact of all those incredible people who have been living and are living in Bali for enough time to be interviewed about the marvel of this beautiful island.

yes, IMore am writing a book about the Bali expat's experiences of Bali, it's a marvelous think to leave your love-story with Bali to all and everybody who comes next. help them understand what Bali was, and still is, beyond cementification and commercialisation

On another note, as this group is growing to un-dreamed proportions, I urge all members to a smart code of conduct: being friendly and understanding... over commercialization of whatever you are proposing will lead to getting you banned, so, please keep the flow interesting, no hijacking and no abuse!

Is it possible for US citizens to come to Bali right now? I’m a little slow with instructions but willing to pay if someone could help me get a business type visa. I’m planning to order jewelry in Bali. If someone could help me with every step in the process.

Hey expats!

Does anyone have a connection with a good vocal recording studio here in Canggu? I've been to Genesis and one in Ubud and haven't been too impressed with the quality of the mics, etc. I'm open to recording in someone's home as well if anyone has a good setup.

Thank you!

Tokopedia give free shipping for some stuff. But there's an unknown limit to how many times it can be used. Anyone know how to check your remaining weekly free shipping allowance?

I am totally hands in the air when it comes to being able to source knitted and woven material in Indonesia.

We get the same group of material suppliers in Bali that sell wholesale at obscene margins.

How will this county ever develop beyond a handful of places that have figured out sourcing.

It was actually easier 30- 40 years ago.

SecondlyMore the cloak and dagger secrecy in the garment industry sourcing and technique sucks , always has .
Instead of some individual doing ok , an entire province could do ok if information was shared a bit more.

But if somebody out there knows , or knows where to find such information

ooking for suppliers for high quality 50% modal / 50% organic cotton knitted material using 30s combed thread , white ready to print .
Also suppliers of combinations of tencel /modal and tencel /organic cotton knits also .
.....

And for woven rayon 40/2 x2 twisted thread .
66 warp - 68 weft pre finished ready to print .
Width 130-150cm ok

I have a question that Im pretty sure hasnt been asked before!!
Im sure you will be all entertained too. My question is.. how can I stop getting electrocuted through my teeth?! Im now more scared of the electric shocks than I am of the dentist. Only happens badly to me apparently. Only on my top teeth and almost every time the dentist comes nearMore them with a metal object 😁. The shocks are so strong they travel through my body and down to my feet. My dentist gets a little tingle lol.. but I get jolted and fried and my teeth feel like they are ready to jump out. To add to this I currently (🙄) have braces on my teeth which means a dentist electric shock visit every 2 weeks!
I have checked the building and there are no circuit breakers.. which does concern me 😬. 2 weeks ago I managed to black out the whole building.. this could only happen to me! Ive googled what to do to try to help, holding a key, rubber flipflops.. nothing helps. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi friends! I’m looking for a waterproof waist pack or some sort of small pouch to keep my phone and cash on my body while swimming in the ocean. Does this exist over here? If so, where can I buy one? 🙏🏻

Sadly, one of our rabbits has died and I am looking for a female rabbit for the male who is missing a friend. I would prefer not to get a baby rabbit 🐰
If there is anyone here who knows where we can get a rabbit (prefer not to go to the animal market in Denpasar) then please let me know 🙏
Thank you 😊

WORLD SPAY DAY DONATION DRIVE: STOP OVERPOPULATION, PUPPY DUMPING, AND SENSELESS CRUELTY

Every day, tiny, defenceless unwanted puppies and kittens are born all around Bali, only to be thrown away in bags,More baskets, boxes and bins, or straight onto the streets and beaches. Stray dogs and cats give birth to their babies in gutters, holes in the ground, or under abandoned buildings, and they waste away, struggling to find enough food to feed themselves and nourish their babies. Often their lives are threatened by locals who see them as a danger, simply for following their instincts to protect their young.

The small percentage of these puppies and kittens who survive to adulthood face a short… More
