  • Kuta beach and 200 meters to the nightlife that Bali is very famous Legian area.
    Also the price is cheap and is in poppies lane 2, which is full of cheap restaurants, most of which settled there is a foreign citizen of non local, shopping. Different from most hotels in poppies that are old hotel, but otherwise Dekuta hotel with modern concepts and comfortable and clean. Not recommended for those of you who want to vacation and living at the hotel, but I highly recommend for beach lovers, surfing, partygoing and adventurers.
    This place is no elevator but it does not matter because only three floors high. No toiletries such as soap, toothbrushes and toothpaste, but the rest rooms are so comfortable, modern and you will never feel like staying in 3 star hotel in the area of poppies

    • I am indeed teaching English. It's pretty nice - the works isn't too stressful but some cultural things can get on your nerves a bit!
      What are you thinking of doing work-wise?
      Anything you'd like to know more about on the blog?
      Cheers!

      • This is Amazing! I'm glad to have found your blog! I am seriously considering moving to Bali and needed to see it from another perspective. I will follow your blog for a while until I have the wherewithal to pick up and go! Do you teach English in Bali? How does one come across such an ideal situation?

        • Hi Monx! Thanks for the positive comments! I got myself a teaching qualification a few years back and contacted the international schools. You could also try English First as they don't require much and will get you work a permit. Have you been to Bali yet?

          Regards,
