Just a few hours before I leave Bali for Malaysia on the first leg of my journey home. I then need to work my way down to Singapore to catch my flight to Frankfurt then London.
Can’t belive it is all nearly over now! The trip will have been a little over 8 months in total.
It is sad to be leaving Bali in a way but I definetly feel I have had enough time on the island. Many expats make Bali their home but it is not somewhere I could live long term (thats goes for all of SoutheastAsia).
I really hope the island continues it’s recovery as the tourist numbers are badly needed here. Encouragingly many more Asian tourists are coming here to replace the Aussies who have been put off in recent times.

Did you meet anyone else in Bali doing Internet business? I know some expats work in the hotels, but I wonder what everyone else does.

I met a couple of people in Kuta. One guys was running a ringtone internet business and the other was a profrssional online gambler.
I got the impression from where they were staying that they were making a lot more than me!
I also met some people in the export game. One lady exported art to Scotland from Ubud and another was in the jewellry business. She would spend the winter in Bali and the summer on her market stall in London. Nice life!
