What they don't say is that there is a constant expat turnover. On a general basis, only a few stay more than 5 years. Why ? Because it is simply unbearable. From the magic first weeks, they enter the normal everyday life. What do they find then? A place that sucks your energy every day a little more. Why ? Already because the heat and very high humidity is hard to hold over time. This is not something you notice during your vacation. Rather after a few months. The houses are often uncomfortable for an everyday life, the only room where you will feel comfortable is your bedroom. It is cool under air conditioning, without insects, it is the only place where you can really rest, which completely changes from an European house. You should also know that it is an extremely noisy place. It’s non-stop 24 hours a day, barking dog, crowing cock, motorcycle or scooter, horn, construction of all kinds and especially the bass of the music clubs day and night. Very hard to bear. Add to that a record polution with a central beach covered with tons of plastic and waste of all kinds from November to April when the winds turn. You will also have to face unimaginable traffic jams in the southern part of the island where 90% of the population is concentrated and where you have the greatest chance of spending most of your time. Millions of tourists who arrive every day without worrying about codes or customs bring even more this feeling of widespread chaos. Even the Balinese are exhausted, that is to say for a population so kind and welcoming. Expatriates as well as tourists from Eastern Europe are often aggressive and alcoholic without limit. Hygiene problems are also problematic, mainly from the cleanliness of water in general. Whether it is sea water like tap water, it is easy to catch an infection. After a few years the expats are mostly flushed and ask only one thing, to be able to go home. Strange when they think back to the feelings of freedom and paradise of the first weeks.
