It's more than 30 years ago - it was a 6.4 or something - see http://balipod.com/search.php?searchid=182654

To us that may not count for much - but to insurers it does.

Also do people get insurance on there homes?

My wife has asked about a horse for riding, You can pay from 7,000,000 up.
Full service on car costs less than 1,000,000 including spares.
I had full service, new t bars, fixed indicators new lenses and covers, fix window, less than 1,000,000.
You will find all car costs very reasonable.

checking out your costs......way over what you should be paying.....your oil change and ? forgot what it was...way to expensive. I HATE TO SAY IT BUT I THINK YOU ARE GETTING RIPPED OFF.

I am talking about what I payed in USA not in Bali.

Hello peoples of Bali I have been to Bali twice the second time was in August. I have have a husband that wants to move to Bali in three to four years, he is serious about it and I am very nervous about it so I guess it's a catch 22, I'm trying to do my own ground work my worries are leaving my 18 yo son (only child) leaving my beautiful friends, being able to cook without power going out, medical issues and not having my Doctor there. I guess im just sending out feelers to find out how lonely and safe it would be to live in Ubud. Kind Regards

Welcome Mimi. A few brief comments:
* your son and other friends will visit because you can get good prices for Perth-Denpasar
* cooking - the power does not go off much, and anyway you use mostly gas for cooking
* health - search the forum for BIMC, you will find positive and negative comments, but I think they are good
* keep coming back to Bali and try staying in a house with a kitchen for a longer period if possible
