Thanks for your honest feedback, I really appreciate it. I was looking at Bali as well as Thailand and the Philippines, and so far I am probably leaning towards Thailand. I am watching lots of channels such as your good selves and appreciate your content.

[@Ken-nn7bh]

Great video, one extra point about the phones though. You can't use a SIM card on a phone purchased outside of Indonesia without getting the IMEI registered first. You only get 3 months activation as a tourist, and with telkomsel a reactivation for another 3 months (150k IDR each time). If you want to register your IMEI permanently you have to go to the airport and pay 40% of whatever they deem the original purchase price of the phone is. Phones that connected to the network back before roughly 2017 or purchased in the country are already registered.

[@MobBjj1]

That’s like most places tho

[@GL-GildedLining]

I love seeing the whole picture of living in a place, and that includes the lowlights as well as the highlights. Thank you for this video; it was very comprehensive. The smog, mold, lack of walking or bicycling paths, and bugs all over the place are important things to be aware of.

[@jayrohal]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@LewisJJC]

Nice genuine account of living in Bali. I’ve only been here 1 week but already traffic and lack of walking spaces come to mind! Budget was accurate but i’m in Seminyak and found a decent gym for 400k / 25$ so guess it depends where you are. See you around!

[@jayrohal]

Enjoy Bali! 🙂

[@jamilbehnan4998]

Good to see you again haven't seen you for a while I miss your shows

[@sergioianni5349]

I'd like to add this your best video. Ppl don't seem to understand that not all that glitters is gold. Hope to meet you in Bali for a beer

[@jayrohal]

Thanks a lot Sergio!

[@thegr8stm8]

Gr8 info… outside Jakarta was fantastic. Wonderful happy people considering they don’t have all the luxuries in life. And… you guys need to go to Bundung, Borobudur, Surabaya, Tretes, Medan, Lake Toba and shoot your Vlogs… and Punjak region

[@fruitpunch2879]

7:07 How long have you lived in Indonesia? Fyi Indonesia is not a Muslim country, Indonesia is a country where the majority is Muslim, but that doesn't mean Indonesia is a Muslim country.

[@jayrohal]

About 88% of Indonesia's population of 270 million are Muslim.

[@fruitpunch2879]

@@jayrohal If u read more and find more article about indonesia, indonesia is not muslim country u need to know the difference between muslim country and muslim is majority religion in indonesia. Indonesia recognizes six religions - Hinduism, Islam, Catholicism, Protestantism, Confucianism, and Buddhism. Anyway have a great day...

[@cryoweb7656]

Thanks guys - another enjoyable, and interesting video with genuinely practical tips and advice. Appreciate your candor and honesty: authentic as always. Every country has its plus and minus as you say. Looking forward to getting over there to try myself. Thanks again, enjoyed it!👍👍👍

[@jayrohal]

Thanks a lot! We are glad you enjoyed!

[@This_da_life]

You two are so genuine , very respectful of each other , good information, thanks .

[@jayrohal]

Its all just smoke and lights, in reality, we are way more cool!

[@paitown9673]

You talked about the bugs being a problem in the outdoor kitchen. Are they attracted to the kitchen specifically or are they just a nuisance in general when being outdoors in the rainy season?

[@jayrohal]

Both.

[@andrekooify]

Great video. Well done. May I ask where are good places to find room or guest house rentals for single.

[@jayrohal]

We have made two videos on this topic

[@garthmccarthy4572]

Exactly correct, I agree with all you said guys. Plastic and pollution an issue sadly.

[@Awarebynature]

the architecture is glorious

[@costasworldofmusicmemories5792]

Thank You Jay and Alina for your wonderful tips about Bali. We hope to come soon. We love you guys 😍😍 Thank You again. Sending you lots of love.💖💖 Jim and Harriet. Richmond, Va.

Walking in Sanur is very nice

Hello you two. Jay, video is better when the camera is static (not moving) and not hand held. I always enjoy your clear descriptions of all things Bali. I will be there in May, flight booked already. Just getting Peduli Lingdungi App etc. Be well....JM

Funny you mentioned traffic, after 12 years in Berawa , l moved to Lovina to build another house. No traffic up here😃

[@momeong9917]

Senang lihat kalian bisa tinggal lama di Indonesia - Bali .... Sukses selalu

[@pawool]

This is great, I’m a bit lost at the start when you say prices for accomodation as I’m not sure if it is a week, month or year 🤔😊

[@jayrohal]

Its monthly.

[@allanjoseph1315]

Jay you need to go and spend a few nights sanar and do the same vlog about walks and cost of living and eating in sanur compared to where you are at the moment

[@michaelselwyn2142]

[@uwegrauert7680]

Very interesting, but the rent in Euro is a little expensive. How you made it, to pay? But we make you tube but we don't make money with this. Do you have some tips for this or we remember Bali in Germany 😜

[@harrylately1]

So the bug scenario you describe sound like a combination of California ( militant ants & flys) & Florida (demon flying insects) in my country

[@jayrohal]

Could be :)

[@untitleds856]

Thank you

[@jayrohal]

You're welcome

[@dimitriperdikis2837]

Hey guys you mention you can’t trade ? Do you mean forex or crypto trading there as they block those sites? I do understand about the VPN solution.

[@jayrohal]

Some trading platforms we use are not accessible without VPN

[@nicoz4122]

Thanks for the honest review ! I like it a lot ! I can't wait to pack and fly to Bali :D

Do you use Airbnb for housing always are there other ways to get housing🏡 there? Thanks love this video☺️🤍🤍

[@jayrohal]

In Bali we suggest FB groups or FB Marketplace. We have dedicated video on how to find an accommodation in Bali/Canggu

[@kikisiobhan6880]

How about bicycle for transportation?

[@jayrohal]

Not a good idea.

[@pathkris2984]

I heard that you are still sharing something in the Villa where you stay? Is the kitchen or toilets shared? Can you clarify. Also does the rent include utilities, mainly air conditioning? Thanks.

[@jayrohal]

They only sharing space is kitchen. All included.

[@pathkris2984]

@@jayrohal Thank you for the clarification.

[@christineviking1578]

Even Canggu beach is not nice. Ubud has lovely accessible walking trails and Sanur has the very long beach promenade.

[@alejandrorecinosanderson3302]

what broker do you use to trade?

[@catllionare]

What about visa? How long can you guys stay there?

[@jayrohal]

Depending on the Visa you have. For example B211 allows to stay up to 6 months with extensions, Tourist visa up to 30 days etc.

Do you know if the vaccine is required to come to Indonesia? Or if a PCR test is enough?

So if I'm booking a flight from Bali to Singapore, should I change my VPN location to Singapore???

You can try, even other countries.

@@jayrohal what country would you suggest?

[@sherrymiles5028]

Have you visited Sanur it seems extremely laid back and walkable ?

Sanur is walkable. It has sidewalks on the main road and footpath along the beach.

[@craciunlabs]

man Bali sounds like a horrible place. why would someone go and spend money there. everyone else "sold" me the fake bali i guess

[@jonikukuh5619]

About mosquito....you can use mosquito repellent lotion (don't use it when your skin a little bit sensitive) About the traffic......Bali is no.4 about traffic in Indonesia.....it's paint in the *** About MSG....you can ordered without MSG in local warung if you not in a hurry But trust me it's more more more dangerous eat imported fruits from your country (apple, kiwi, orange, etc...)cause how much wax contained in it.....and the fast food like KFC and McDonald's it's contained more dangerous materials than MSG in it

[@maducis8664]

Have you guys eat dog meat in Indonesia

[@nanna427]

I wonder why you always talk about dollars and pounds but not €. Why you haven't talk about the rules now for enter and news about that. Anyone that has insurance at your own country, ask because many times is useful when travelling

[@jayrohal]

Because we lived in the UK for many, many years and £ is a currency we are used to, not €

[@ludmilarusinkova9913]

👌👌💞💞😍

[@catllionare]

Could you please also include the us dollar when talking prices? You didn't mention $ when you talked about accommodation

[@nanna427]

Alina, talk to the camera and to us, we listen you! It seems like you ask to him if you can talk. You look at him all time with a smile and he doesn't look to you when you talk, he cut you. He is in front of you, you are behind...I don't like that
