Thread: If you are coming, get your ass in gear - NOW!

The fact that a bule gets involved also seems to bring out the rupiah stars in the eyes of some of the landowners.

My GF and I purchased some land on the bukit for a small project we are doing at a very reasonable price per are. We bought 7are and the GF did 90% of the transaction and I came in at the last minute.
No problem with that and we decided if the farm next door may want to offload a bit of land then maybe we should look at it.

Cut a long story short, farmer got wind of the bule in the mix and the land price he wanted for bare, no facilities, nothing land was 2.5 times more than what we paid less than 3 months prior. His words were that once people see a bule here doing business they will pay his price....

Damn!

Sure I will get there in the end.

Don't worry Jimbo, there will always be land that westerners can afford in Bali.
However it may not beachside or cliff top with magnificent views , however it will be in Bali.

As far as I am concerned , that is all I need. I can always jump on the bike and go to the beach when I want the views.
