Geburtstag meines Freundes und ehemaligen Kollegen(DTAG) zu feiern. Er wohnt immer über Winter auf Bali und ist natürlich an dt. Kontakte auf Bali interessiert. Ich freue mich wenn wir uns auf Bali in der Zeit treffen können und Du mir noch ein paar Tipps für Bali geben kannst. Fröhliche Grüße Ingolf Hallo Christian,

Ich freue mich wenn wir uns auf Bali in der Zeit treffen können und Du mir noch ein paar Tipps für Bali geben kannst.

Just to give an example: to rent a small 1-room flat in Europe you spend probably around 300 Euro. For that rental price you can rent a small house in Bali or other countries in Asia. And rent is probably the largest amount of living expenses you will run into. Food, clothes and transportation is easier to handle, so if you have additional income sources from other savings, it's perfectly possible to retire early in Asia, with income streams in Euro or other 'hard' currency. Oh yeah, a 1-room apartment in a smaller university town in Germany can go for as low as 50.000 Euro purchase price. So if you own 1 or 2 of those, you actually already set, as you will almost always rent them out (university towns are especially good for this) and generate stable income streams through that.

You said you have a "few streams of income like rent, dividends and interest," but then you also said you "don’t believe in the concept of owning a house for oneself." It sounds like you own rental property in Europe for profit while renting out in Indonesia for your own shelter. You come out ahead because a rent in Europe is higher than in Indonesia. Please clarify. I'm trying to understand how you support yourself financially while living abroad. Thanks! Chris, do you own rental property back in Europe?

It's really easy living, lovely nature and scenery and friendly/safe surrounding. Traffic is getting more here as well, at least in Denpasar and the touristy areas, but there is plenty of space if you look for tranquility and peaceful/calm landscapes. Although I'm slowly getting itchy feet again, in 10/2008 it will be 2 years already. Time to try out some other amazing destinations? :-/ Sin Young Yun, yes – we like it here very much.
