Living in Bali - what do you do ?

Posted by KSevy on Tuesday, 23. February 2010 at 04:42 Bali Time:

I just returned home from Bali a week ago. It was my 9th trip there but hadn't been there since 2000. I was happy to see not a lot had changed. Although I stayed in Seminyak this time and LOVED it. I hadn't really been there much before.
I did notice an abundance of expats cruising around the place on their scooters and talking indonesian to shop keepers.
My question is .... if you live in Bali - what do you do there for work and how did it come to be.
What a dream to live in Bali ...just for a little while and experience Bali from a different perspective !
