My friend and I would like to live in Bali for about six months. He wants to work on designing a motorcycle and I am a painter and writer. We would like to find an inexpensive place to live, a place where I would have room to paint and a place to use my laptop. He'd like find a motorcycle/moped shop where he could use the equipment in return for doing repairs. If anyone knows of a good place or good contacts could they please let me know? I understand Ubud is great for any artistic endeavors, it would be nice to meet other artists for support and inspiration. Are art supplies easily accessed, canvas, paint, brushes and the like? How expensive is it as we would be on a very limited budget. I hope someone can help us. Thanks, Dutchie
