Hi Ben, a working holiday in Bali is not really a possibility. For an Indonesian business to employ you they must pay for your working visa (kitas) which costs around 1 million rupiah a month. There is not much reason for them to do that with so much local unemployment. Unless you are highly skilled in a particular area and that skill is in high demand,getting a job in Bali is very difficult on a permanent basis let alone a casual one. Most ex-pats that work in Bali provide their own employment by starting their own businesses or exporting. If you know someone, who knows someone, you might get lucky. If all else fails, save your pennies at home and then go and volunteer at the hundreds of orphanages in Bali. Good luck
