  • Bali is amazing, but Canggu isn’t really that great — actually there are SO MANY better places, like Uluwatu, Gili Islands or even Ubud that I can’t understand the hype. As almost everyone said below, beaches are crappy, roads are terrible, sidewalks are non-existent and having a motorbike is a must. On the other side, food is great and cafes are pretty reasonable with all those incredible bowls. Anyway I wouldn’t recommend it for more than a week.

  • Honestly, this is an awesome place to be if you’re actually trying to get work done. It’s a bit of an older vibe than Canggu, and there’s certainly a big chunk of yogi’s kicking around — but I liked it much better than Canggu and found it less pretentious. Plus, you can drive down there in 45mins whenever you want some beach or party vibes.
    As others mentioned, there’s some great coworking spaces, cheap warungs, some really nice spots to stay cheaply if you go just outside of the mad tourist

  • As Canggu is filling up, people are moving Northwest-wards passing through Pererenan and Babadan and ending up in Munggu where it’s still calm, with not much development.

  • “Don’t go to Jakarta” is what people from Jakarta tell you.
    But you do. It can’t be that bad, right? Then you arrive. Although “arriving” is a big word for getting stuck in traffic first for hours. When you do finally arrive in your apartment, you open the windows and wonder why you can’t see further than 10 meters. It must be a foggy day? No, it’s not fog, it’s smog, and it’s an every day occurrence in Jakarta, a city that is now competing with Beijing for worst air quality in the world.

  • Uluwatu is an amazing place, in my opinion way better than Canggu and even Ubud. Why? There’s not much traffic, beaches are amazing, there’s a significant Brazilian/Portuguese community around which reflects in ethnic restaurants pretty good and affordable. Surf culture is present, so the laid back lifestyle. Maybe it’s hard to find an actual “home”, I always prefer to stay in cheap guesthouses such as 3D Homestay, with a nice swimming pool. Enjoy the morning in the beach and catch the

  • Gili Air is a wonderful tropical island with good enough internet, amazing beaches and affordable accommodation and food. The locals are super friendly and it’s super safe.
    There is a party and live music every night for those that feel like socialising(with the exception of Thursday nights). There’s a well equipped gym, Salsa dancing Night every Monday at the schick-kitsch mexican restaurant, stand up paddle, lots of wonderful yoga shalas, kite surfing, snorkelling, diving and lots of food opti

  • I’ve been living in Semarang for about 6 months at this point. Living at the “Candiland Apartment” which is reasonably priced 2.5 million – 3.5 million rupiah per month. Great view of the city. It’s hot here. Usually like 35+ degrees. The beach is all industrial. Usually a lot of traffic. In the southern part of the city there are some small hills which are cool but to go anywhere with nice air, cool temperatures and big mountains it’s at least an hour south. Sometimes the locals will give you a

  • Lombok definitely has the most amazing virgin beaches , waterfall, and marine life! Senggigi is just one of its many long white sand beaches and a lot of them are still waiting to be discovered. Not much of a party going on here, but if you are itching for one, just hope to a speed boat for 15 minutes and you will arrive in the wild gili trawangan. I was only staying for 4 days, then I fell in love . Been here for 6 months and counting.

And that Works! Point to the food in the picture on the wall, have small cash in you pocket (and bigger cash stored away out of sight) You buy food in the picture and only get half of what you saw!

  • Jogja is good for me, all the air quality and religious stuff is true. It is also very ‘dirty’ and chaotic, which most westerners probably wouldn’t like.

  • Way too touristy and a bit more expensive than other parts of Bali. Dont really want to come here again. The only thing I liked was the coworking space I used during that time. Everything else was a bit boring.
