Retirement in Australia is also something else thats under attack from our Government. Every apsect of our lives Down Under is being pushed to the brink of hardship, and even if you do have a lot a money in retirement, they are damn well hellbent on trying to take it from you. My wife and I have been to Bali many many times and now we are in our mid 50's, this is under consideration for the futrue, which is not too far away. I loved this video!
Thank you so much 🙏 yes Aus is getting more difficult for everyone . That’s why people are leaving and going to so many other county live . Hope it all works out for you 🤞
Thank you for sharing and being so open and honest about things. So glad you have found great friends as that certainly helps in every way. Good luck with everything!
Good to see things coming together and you are enjoying your retirement. Buy a bike you will love it, riding is easy because you just go slow, start of with a honda vario good little work horse, will carry all your shopping and more.
I think downsizing is the key. And you guys have made the right decision. There are pros and cons in everything and everywhere. I think if you save your money for good private health facilities in Sanur, I think that would be the most important factor. The quicker you learn the language, the easier life would be there. Have you tried asking around the locals who do weekly meal packages? As in they cook at home and deliver in containers or come to yours and cook meals for the whole week? In regards to your drinking water, I think if you buy a "Life Straw", you can pretty much drink water from any source. I believe they have high volume products. Once you have your basic needs sorted, everything else will fall into place. I hope we can catchup one day in Sanur Richard. Miss ya mate. 😊
Really loved this one, so glad everything is working our for you. Now it's time for a bike each, and of course a licence. I am a motorcycle rider here in Australia and still totally understand your hesitance to ride in Bali. I have only ridden on Lembongan, but from what I see on TH-cam it seems that your local area is quite safe to ride. As a driving instructor and I am sure Richard would agree, getting started is often the biggest hurdle. Keep it up guys, I love watching!
Good and honest advice. I'm glad you've settled in so well and are enjoying life. Just a question. How noisy is your flat? Are you disturbed by your neighbours or street noise? We found that the worst thing coming from a house with surrounding garden to very close living with other people.
@@Balibliss123 sorry to hear that, hope you get used to it soon. I guess everything has it's advantages and disadvantages, it's a matter of balance and what is important in one's life. Cheers.
I first visited Bali in 1986. It was quite nice then. Revisited it in 2013, and found it polluted, overpriced (for what you get), and fairly dangerous, the police are mostly corrupt. Best of luck, but not for me.

Do you know if there are any art studios or art workshops near Griya Sangrian? I am coming over in June. Thank you.
Sorry not sure . I know they have art classes in Ubud
I will see why people love Bali so much in 6 weeks. Right now, my heart is with Fiji. ❤ From Victoria, Australia.
👍
We will be in Bali in 8 weeks and hearing you about Fiji..... though I think my wallet will be thanking me.
Why did you leave beautiful Cairns to retain Bali as most people come to Cairns to retire.
We find Australia’s living cost are started to get out of control
Yes Cairns is lovely 👍
Thanks for the update - will you stay in the apartment & area after your 12months ?
Thanks for watching . It’s a decision we will need to make soon
Great video, Karen if you are not confidant to ride, why not just Richard get a scooter and you go on the back ?
Yes that’s happening soon 👍
Have you managed to get your SKKT from the Catatan Sipil yet? That is what the Surat Domisili is for.
That’s one of the next things to get
Privacy number 1, how is the noise from upstairs people walking around?
Hi, you do hear them
Being a single person I wonder how different it might be for me networking etc.
We have single friends here and they are networking with everyone as we are with them. It comes down to outgoing you are. Hope this helps

@@stephencollicoat1226 yes it is noisy compared to living in a house. Lots of bars and street noise

Fair enough , everyone is different . Thanks for your thoughts 👍
@@darrylknight2675 so many people living in small areas with little infrastructure
Get a scooter. Not hard.
Thanks ,yes we will be soon
