Hi looking to retire to Indonesia by DeleBelly
Once covid is manageable. Any tips for a newbie? I'll be taking my dog. Greetings to you all.

Cost of living in Indonesia - 2017 by Priscilla
Hello, Before moving to Indonesia, it is important to investigate the cost of living in the country. As we did in 2015, we give you the opportunity to share your experience and tell us more about products and services average recorded prices ...
No there are not houses as nice as yours for 30 jt. I just think real estate is way out of line in Bali. Artificially inflated. Still what you got for 90 jt is a much better deal than other people I know have found. Read More

I mostly drivevin Balu but what happens here is most likely the standard in other parts of Indonesia. Drivers in Bali are about as discourtrous and uptight as a driver can be. Honking the horn before the light turns green....cutting you off....grid ... Read More
