Any Bali insiders on here?
I was there in 1995 and 2005. I had a blast. The hotels are like palaces. The folks are all Hindu but the law is Muslim. I liked this because there weren't a lot of hookers for an Asian party City.
People are telling me this is changing. Just talked to a guy that says Bali's turned whore-heavy. Can anybody confirm this?
Plus, someone told me, and I read that the governments not letting too many foreigners in these days. Has this caused a slump in tourist party girls? I love them.
Aloha!

I went 2 years ago for spring break. It's not as whore heavy as say, Bangkok, but you'll hear taxi drivers holler "Balinese girl for you" as you walk every 5 feet. They're definetly not restricting foreigners, as Bali's economy is completely dependent on them. The majority of the tourist party girls come from Italy and Australia. The girls want sex and if you run game you won't have a problem.

Make sure you take the ferry over to Lombok too.
I picked up two local girls there in two days in Sengigi (they were friends too, lol). Happy days.

I spent alot of time in KL and also Jakarta, took a couple weekends in Bali. I would recommend Kuta beach for the nightlife and also the waves. Im not sure what kind of crowd to expect now as most of the aussies travel there in the may-September range.
That being said, much better nightlife then a Phuket or any Malay beach i went to.

Bump. I'm considering going here for a month before my year in Singapore to do a quick and dirty joint venture with a friend for passive income.
Can anyone comment on:
-Populations of Euro/Scandinavian women
-Cost of living
-Ease of transportation
-Muay Thai?
Thanks

Can you comment on what Dutch chicks are like? I'm not sure if there's been a lot of talk about the DUtch on this forum. I remeber the ones I saw in Paris being tall and brunette for the most part. Not very feminine but fairly good looking.
I'm not sure how DTF they are. If they're like French or Scandies, esp in regards to Asian men, then that bodes well for me.

RE: white chicks: 70% AMER/AUS 30% EURO/SCAN
You don't want a car. You'll need a motorbike.
Good party budget is 1500-2000 bucks a month. You can get by on less if you want.
Local indo/balinese girls are great. Lots of party girls, lots of fun good girls.
Paid for girls are common in 3-4 main clubs in Kuta. Higher end escourty type girls frequent higher end places in Seminyak.
Some martial arts training at Hammerhead gym in legian, not sure on Thai stuff.
Waves are great in Bali, in particular in the south of the island 30 minute drive from central party area.

Thanks Danski,
I keep hearing about surfing in Indonesia.
Can anyone comment on surfing as a means of staying fit?
Also, any clue where these Scandies are hanging out in Bali?

I spent some good time in Bali in '06. Did a boat trip all around Indonesia too.
With regards to girls and nightlife, it's more fun in Thailand though IMO

-Populations of Euro/Scandinavian women
They're there. Not in vast numbers though. Aussie tourists out-number every other kind 10 to 1 probably.
-Cost of living
Cheap. Not as cheap as Thailand. But comparable.
-Ease of transportation
Same. Although in Bali a lot of drivers will scam the fuck out of you. ALWAYS use the meter.
-Muay Thai?
Didn't see or hear of any there. Surfing is a great cardio and upper-body workout, but it has a steep learning curve. So prepare to put in a ton of effort with little reward the first week or two you do it. Then it slowly gets easier and more fun after that.

I told you this privately already. In my opinion Bali doesn't offer anything that Phuket or Phi Phi don't do better except slightly better tourist parties and surfing. There's less nightlife, but it's bar girl free. There are a lot of young Aussie girls there, a few Euros and a few Americans. Lots of dudes, but they're young (18-22) so they have no game. The scene gets old fast as there's really only 3-4 venues to go to (Sky Garden being the main one), and a handful outside of Kuta, so after a few days you begin to see the same people over and over again. I'd happily go back for 3-4 days. But I made the mistake of spending three weeks there, and by the third week I wanted to hang myself. What kills the place for me is the locals are not friendly at all. You get ripped off left and right, sold bogus tours, given fake bills, rides to places you didn't want to go, I even had a bartender try to charge me for two drinks when I ordered one. Just dealing with it day-in and day-out really eats away at you. I'm in India right now, and I feel more respected and less hassled than I did in Bali.
If you want your Indonesian flag, it shouldn't take you more than a couple nights to get it. The local girls you run into in the bars there are very DTF.

Dan Andrews over at http://www.tropicalmba.com mentions in his blog that here seem to be more western expat chicks in Bali than others. You guys might like this post:
http://www.tropicalmba.com/thailand-vs-b...ilippines/
However, I split "Western Expat Chicks" into two very different categories:
-Scandinavians, French, and Eastern Europeans who I go nuts for
-American/Canadian/Aussie which I strongly dislike - and Aussie seems to be the largest demographic by far
I don't have an Indonesian flag yet so if I go I'm obviously going to be gunning for that. Swedish/Norwegian is high on my list, I'd be looking out exclusively for Scandies.
My potential JV partner has been kind enough to let me live in his 3 BR crib, so my housing costs are not part of my cost of living.
Not sure if you like Dutch chicks, but there are a lot of Dutch girls in Bali as Indonesia use to be a Dutch colony.
Where have you seen all those Dutch chicks in Bali ? It all Aussie over there. Indonesia used to be Dutch colony for 350 years but that ended in the 1950"s after a bloody breakup and afterwards most Dutch people left Indonesia. Your statement is total nonsense.
I'm Dutch and have been in Kuta 3 weeks last year.

Ugh, last thing I need right now is another wave of Aussie tourists.
I'll probably make my trip no longer than 1-2 weeks, in that event.
