The cost and the hassle of bringing gear into Bali is not worth it. New fridges, T.V's, lounges, stereos ,beds and similar items are all very cheap and readily available here.
For $200, you can buy a new T.V, a D,V.D player, a jaffle maker and a crate of beer.
There is only a limited range of gear that you can not get hold of. As an example, I have only looked at bringing in an electic wok, an electric frypan and decent barbecue tools.
You can buy quality meat, cheaper than in Australia. Two litres of Italian wine will cost around $15. Decent internet connection is readily available. With the latest satellite technology you do not even need a phone line to be connected to the internet.
Just throw your favourite underwear and your old teddy bear into a suitcase and get here. It is a brilliant place to live.
Cheers Ron.
