learn patience! Living here is not like back home and not like being on a holiday. If you do not learn patience you will not last. You need it for everything..driving, running a business, staff ceremonies, visas, everything....once you learn this you will be at peace and actually understand the Balinese way of living, don't try and live here like a Westerner.
Oh, and budget on more money than you think you will need. If I did it again I would have waited another year and saved more money. We live a simple Balinese life so we only spend about $600 per month, but the older I get the more I wish I had the money to live a $600 a week lifestyle.
