Hey I've just arrived in Bali and will likely be here for a few months. I'd like to meet some friendly people to do fun things with. I'm currently living in Ubud but am keen to explore and see what this island has to offer.

Let's have some fun!

Hi James, and welcome to Ubud.

As you are probably already figuring out, there is quite a diverse expat community in the Ubud area.

A couple of easy ways for you to get to meet some of them...

On every Friday night, starting at about 7:30 PM there is the famed Quiz Night at the Fly Cafe on Jalan Lungsiakan. This is most always very well attended, and you'll find great food, drinks and good company.

Around the corner from The Fly is the famous Naughty Nuri's Warung on Jalan Raya Sanggingan. While somewhat less of an expat hangout since the passing of co-owner, Brian, it is still the home base for the well known Hash House Harriers. Each Saturday afternoon the Hash sponsors a run somewhere around the Ubud area culminating in a great party. It is said of the Hash, "a wonderful drinking club with a running problem."

Cheers and enjoy your time in Ubud, Roy
