wow what a difficult decision to make!everyone knows bali has far from recovered as yet and still is not out of the woods safe the opportunity to live and work in bali always sounds glamerous but its far from that.Many of my friends who live there permantly love and hate it.Business is difficult things donot work like here in australia there are no quarantees to anything,most of my business friends have bought other businesses here at home to keep things going and also have either moved their children back here or spend more time here now than they did before!Although things have seemed to have picked up its not a constant thing and instability economically and saftety means businesses arnt thriving in bali!Some of my friends here who do business with bali have been told by suppliers not to return as yet because of safety issues.Many of my friends businesses(once thriving) have gone under recently. Ive stated before listen to the balinese when they are talking(please others dont indate me with feeling safe issues this is my statement! safelty in bali is a personal decision that only you can make),The only thing you can do is investigate thoughly any ideas you may have listen to the forumites whos advise is wise especially those who have lived there and realise its hard work not to stay in business in bali its not always a tropical holiday! Sorry dont mean to sound a downer on you idea but trying to say as honestly as I know whatever you decide good luck hope it all works out for you.
