Why Bali the Island of God?

Out of so many places, why do we choose Bali?

You will not read about how Bali was attracting us and so we chose to come here etc, in fact, it is the opposite.

Bali was not on my list first of all when I started planning for our relocation.  There were many places in the world which I was more attracted to than Bali.

Somehow, I guess you can call it fate, the doors of my dream places did not open.  But Bali's did.

We came to Bali for the first time in Oct 2012 with high expectations for the Island of God.  Nope. My first impression was disappoinment.  The traffic, cars, run down buildings and chaos were not on my high hope list at all.

"I will not live here!"  I thought.

We had to stay in Bali for a few months because of my Rolfing training. My intention was pretty much set to move on to somewhere else after that trip.

Things start changing after I had my first coconut water and many more after that.  Yes you heard it right,  I am a big fan of coconut water. The unlimited fresh coconuts that I can have at a very cheap price became one of my reasons to come and live in Bali!

And then the food, the artistic and holistic atmosphere, the very nice and humble Balinese, the expats that we met etc draw us closer and closer to Bali.

Will share more in following posts!
