Australian drug-smuggler Schapelle Corby looks set to receive another reduction on her prison term as part of Independence Day celebrations on August 17.
Corby, who was jailed for 20 years after trying to smuggle 4.2 kilos of marijuana into Bali in 2004, recently received presidential clemency, which saw her already reduced sentence cut by five years.
So you think that you’ve missed the boat on investing in Bali because of the speed of the increasing property prices? well yeah you kinda have! but all is not lost recent regulation changes in the Indonesian investment laws now allow for Non Indonesian citizens to invest on the Jakarta Stock and Futures Exchanges. I’m sure that you are no stranger to the markets, and as no stranger ‘diversification’ will probably have been one of the words you have heard most in the last couple of years.
Anyone who has spent some time in Bali knows that things don’t all ways work like they are supposed to! if your waiting for a delivery or a local workman, a maid or even a taxi there are literately hundreds of things that can go wrong, and any time something does go wrong it ultimately ends up as you wasting time tracking down the break and fixing it yourself. So what are the biggest time wasters in Bali?
Hi all, its been a very long time since i wrote on here, with Facebook, Google +, having a kid and the losing computers its been a long couple of years! any way i’ve found the motivation to write again, lets see how it goes…

Have a great weekend
