I, my husband and our doggie retreated to Bali, Indonesia, 9 months ago. We are from sunny island Singapore. While sunny island Singapore is well known for many good things, like her clean and green, well organized city landscape, efficient public transport, etc, it was getting too stressful for us. We really didn't like how our lives were just revolving around certain things, mostly material. For the sake of our mental and emotional well-being, we decide to find a tranquil place to rest. We want to take a break from all the hustle and bustle.

After searching and thinking for a while, we chose Bali, Indonesia. This place is fabulous! 

Firstly, it is still near home (just 2.5 hours flight away) so anytime we get home sick, we can go home.

Secondly, there are already many foreigners living here (majority of them are Australians, French and Italian) so it makes this place more "foreigner friendly". There are many facilities and infrastructures, like well established hospitals, international schools, huge supermarkets, etc, already in placed here. Even many locals can speak simple conversational English.

Thirdly, the local Balinese people are so warm and friendly that we feel welcomed here. 

Fourth, there are many beautiful beaches here to relax on. There is no lack of good food and shopping. When we get tired, there is always a spa or massage parlour down the street or round the corner. Yes, this place is almost a paradise!

So in my blog, I have decided to dedicate a page to this place. Every now and then, I will share my experience as a foreigner living here. I will also cover reviews on restaurants, places of interests, shopping, etc, here. So by the end of my stay here, I hope I have compiled a diary of my life here, for me to reminisce in the future. o (◡‿◡✿)
