If you are into Electronic Gadgets, you might think that a holiday destination like Bali is not the right place to buy or bargain for the latest toys. Tech hubs like Singapore, Hong Kong and Bangkok dominate this area in Asia.

In general, you are better off purchasing your new Laptop or Android Smartphone in one of those places. But thankfully, things are changing fast and the population of Bali (and its Expat Community) are getting more and more tech affine. This provides new opportunities to sell IT and gadget gear here also and suppliers make increasingly use of it.

I’m currently trying to implement the long-requested threaded comments and an easier identification option via Facebook Connect. The old Avatars and MyBlogLog Profile Pics will go, as they are outdated and too geeky.

Please bear with me, if site or comment formatting is currently distorted, as am doing open heart surgery at the site. Hoping to get it done within the next few days, but most likely you will see an interim status before the final solution.

Thanks for your patience and keep commenting meanwhile. No comments should get lost!

I was asked many times over, to update the Cost of Living spreadsheet on this page. Time is definitely ripe for an update, as prices in Bali soared over the last 3 years.

The economic crisis, a weakening Euro and an Indonesian Inflation (unofficially in the double digits) did all their part as well to change Bali from a backpacker’s paradise into a full-blown ‘Tourist Dollar Money Making Machine’.

Tourist numbers rose already to pre-crisis levels in Bali and are still climbing steadily. While most prices also went clearly up, there are still a handful of exceptions.
