westerners coming here and rushing into things is very high. It is a far better idea to come here and rent a place for 12 months or so first up.
Living in Indonesia is a lot different to coming here as a short time tourist.
Not everyone is friendly and standing around with open arms for a foreigner to move into their country.
In other areas the "expat" (I hate that word) crew are so self centered that they really believe themselves to be superior to the local folk.
A Google map will not tell you how close the nearest Mosque and nightclub are situated. Remember there is very little noise control here.
Roosters, dogs, motor bikes and local markets all exist as well.
