How many Ogoh-Ogoh did you shoot' (Bali Nyepi 2012)
From Nomad4ever, 3 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
It’s this time in Bali again, the beginning of the New Year 1934 following the Hindu calendar.
This is celebrated with a parade of paper mache Ogoh-Ogoh monsters followed by a day of silence.
During Nyepi Day, noise and light pollution have to be avoided, to not make the monsters, demons and ghosts flying over the island to be alerted, so they can continue their journey towards other islands and not bring their evil to Bali’s inhabitants.
As every other year, for tourists and...

South Vietnam ? The Best, The Good, The Ugly
From Nomad4ever, 3 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
On a recent short trip to Vietnam I had the chance to explore the country anew, after having not visited for over 7 years. The Vietnam Lunar Festival T't Nguyên ?án was just in its last few days, when I touched down in Ho Chi Minh or Saigon.
Over the course of almost 2 weeks I commuted between Saigon and Vung Tau, a beach holiday destination just 125 km south of Vietnam’s largest city.
The overall experience was quite positive, it’s surprisingly easy to get around and...

Cebu and Bohol are apart from Boracay and Manila maybe the most valuable assets for the tourism industry in the Philippines.
Cebu has the second biggest international airport in the country and is a great hub for island-hopping, entertainment options or simply coming back to Civilization after having successfully toured the surrounding islands or provinces. Bohol is an interesting island which features beautiful nature, wildlife and friendly people.
So far, it was only possible to get from one...

From Nomad4ever, 9 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
24 years ago, when Kuta in Bali was a small fishing village with bamboo huts and mud tracks, only known to late Hippies and a handful of adventurous low budget tourists, something interesting happened.
Amidst the serenity of its 8km long stretch of sand and (back then) clean waters a night club opened opened in Legian/Seminyak.
It was located directly at the beach, an open concept and opened until the wee hours of the next day. From 6pm to 6am. Thus Club 66 was born.
This weekend, Bali's most...

nomad4ever.com featured in GQ China 07/2011
From Nomad4ever, 9 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
When things like this happen, it makes me feel that it's all worth to maintain a website like this over the period of now more than 6 years.
This May, GQ China interviewed half a dozen Bali and Phuket Expats for a July Special Print Issue about people who left the city life behind. It seems more and more Chinese are overwhelmed by their work and life pressure and looking for alternative lifestyles.
So in a 4-hour interview and photo session which took part in the Four Season Hotel in Jimbaran...

The modern working climate is unforgiving. In its never-ending strive for higher productivity and efficiency, employees are a mere cost factor in a firm's calculation.
A cost factor, that constantly has to be optimized, downsized and monitored for return on investment; restructured and adjusted to fit the firm's strategies and policies.
What happened to the human factor' To Work-Life-Balance'
Come on ? don't kid yourself! If you don't watch out for that, nobody else will.

Racial Profiling at Bali Airport ? Necessity or Harassment'
From Nomad4ever, 1 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
In spite of the recent Immigration Experience at Denpasar Airport by 2 female travelers from the Philippines, I was wondering, what your opinion might be about Racial Profiling at airports.
Currently a story is making waves on Blogs and Facebook, how 2 Filipina were allegedly obtained, held and questioned for 1.5 hours upon immigration without initial suspicion, or justification – obviously simply because they were traveling to Bali being Citizens of the Republic of the Philippines.

Although Jerm and me sometimes have different viewpoints and can debate endlessly and full of enthusiasm in regards of philosophy, religion and...
