Some real farkwits getting around. Alcohol and fireworks just don’t mix. A couple from , I’m assuming Norway, as they were both draped in that flag, pissed as , obnoxious, rude to staff , dangerous. Eventually got in a fight after letting off fireworks into a crowd of people . I saw young women getting their instagram shots hanging onto 8 shot roman candles , oblivious to the fact that these can be faulty and explode in the chamber and blow your fingers off . Most people out trying to enjoy themselves but some real ‘ special ‘ one’s amongst them . First time I’ve made midnight in about 15 years , completely sober, haven’t had a beer in 2 months, ticker started playing up so knocked it on the head .

This is on Lembongan and he seems sober , you can imagine the dickheads fully pissed with this in their hands .

That’s a good effort, especially over there in the heat. It’s so easy to grab a cold beer.
Hope you’re getting some waves supa.

Engineering on these road building projects aren’t always the best and they want to build a tunnel from airport to Canggu.

Some more footage of the collapse on the road to pandawa.

^ so hectic..
(jeez, people make odd music choices.. that drone clip, I was expecting a voiceover "dare to be different... choose the road less travelled... tackle challenges that others won't... live for today, but.. reach for the future..")

I know it's indo, but that sort of cutting without any battering or benching of the walls just wouldn't happen elsewhere in the world. That just screams engulfment.

First time I drove through there I was thinking WTF , who designed this ? Cheapest way of doing things always comes at a price eventually .

There is no way I would go through there, especially now I've seen those photos above.

So sad but no surprise at all. Same type of "engineering" going on out at Ulu's.....

We stayed nearby last year and the other main road in (JL Pantai Pandawa) is similar but the cliffs above are lined with unfinished construction. A couple of huge hotels just sitting there, multiple stories of concrete slab and steelwork. Were supposed to be completed pre COVID but is now just sitting there waiting for the cutting to collapse. Weird vibe off the place. Didn't help getting a bad dose of the belly there

I haven’t been out that way since 2017 , some italian’s had claimed the left out there as their own . Farking funny shit .

I’ve got the local BMKG weather app, it alerts to the latest earthquake with size location & tsunami warning . 4.9s seems fairly regular around indo , one the other day 50 ks of East Java with a depth of 10 klms . ….. edit …… here’s today’s report

Any day Now- Uluwatu - from Ayodhya across to Bluepoint to Singlefin
That whole Area will Slide down into the Ocean...Domino Effect
Nil Engineering Done especially Ulu steps Shops ETC
Can Streetview Walkthru that Area... New 2025 footage ... Shocking vision .... Faark Me what a Joke

Was in Jogya not long after their earthquake.
Amazing how on one side of Jl Prawirotaman 2 was levelled (north i think) and the other side as left in tact like nothing had happened...
Have been in a couple of shakes, make you feel very small indeed...

the real crazy thing about all of the above is, it has become one of the most popular Instagram locations for domestic tourists. not sure if they designed it that way, or it was just the cheapest and nastiest way to create beach access, but that's what it has become...

without a word of exaggeration, those walls are often lined with 50 - 100 people, tripods, harley davidsons, sports cars, convertibles, models, bikinis, photog umbrellas, family portraits, the whole she-bang...

often from sun up to sun down

so much so, they even had to make a traffic plan to deal with it

it's a miracle no one has been hurt, I guess mainly because it was heavy rain days that would have caused it

can't really see them changing it, because it's indo... but because of the attraction it's become also...

open now, after 3 or 4 days of that one part of road being shut, ...sweep it up and start again...

it is an impressive sight to ride your humble little bike through though...

spectacular

@andy-mac , it’s another reason investment in Indonesia is risky as you know . Earthquake’s , tsunami’s , bombings , volcano eruptions , pandemics . It’s not a matter of if , it’s a matter of when . Tourist related investments can and do break people . The Indonesian people survive but many investors walk away bankrupt. The amount of empty buildings, half finished or abandoned due to running out of money or disputes waiting to be settled in court. Then you have all the new investors starting the whole process up again . Keeps locals employed though.

Beaches are spectacular also compared to other parts of Bali. Nice swimming in those lagoons. Imagine the carnage if the Kuta to Seminyak Aussie 7 day holiday package crew knew there was blue water in Bali.

Definitely @supa
I have lost some coin there, but overall on top.
Kind of like the old gambling saying of don't bet more than u can afford to lose.
Edit. Was there through both bombs, 9/11 which had huge impact and was probably as bad as covid for locals.....

Apparently a young lady died this last week with her falling off the cliff at ulu temple area taking a selfie of all things. Sad.

the multi story hotel unfinished concrete frames blackers is referring to are massive. the crazy thing is the clifftop has a heap of abandoned projects too, with new guys having a go right next door...

the new ones seem to have a better finishing, and potential finishing outlook though, such is the climate at the moment... and it appears a few russos and euros have got their routine down now...

it blows me away the amount of money invested and wasted just driving from jl. uluwatu down to dreamland beach. even the few that are finished and operating are run down and look like ghost towns. you'd think the overheads would've sent them broke by now... some big names around there too...

it's probably largely Jakarta money, the taste, look, and 'eksklusif' nature looks very china / Jakarta big money...

it just beggars belief no one has go at finishing them whilst so much demand is currently there

the market has changed though I guess... all about villas now...

but then again... what a loose term that has become!

it's all just bizarre to watch, you never see a half finished project last for years like that in oz... they always go up or down eventually..

watching half the island live in poverty amidst all that big money is pretty confronting - not for indo's though - they simply don't do equality...

Yep it's pretty crazy, but same thing was happening in Seminyak in 00's. From memory late 90's they changed laws so foreigners could long term lease land.
Jakarta after Krismon was nuts, half finished sky scrappers all over CBD....

on another note, strange things afoot in party central too...

aussie footballers losing their high end 'massage' parlours... ukranian twins drug dealers going down... russos found with a meth lab and mull crop in villa complex basement... an aussie couple just got done for swingers party's unauthorised video distribution...

ubud sex cults, tantric workshops, russo porn vids...

the place is loose

and it appears someone does not like it like that...

Jakarta pressure?

the falling and failing enterprises have been plentiful the last 12 months

facebook groups are full of reading pleasure...

it's like watching days of our lives... with internet porn and prostitution, tinder, grinder, afrcan exoticism, crypto bros, russian mafia, extortion rackets, melrose place style housing complex ponzi schemes... all set in an Indonesian ricefield...

the movie one could make!

(half the filming is already done... and its all available on onlyfans...)

Haha reminds me of the golden daze of 66!!

In Jakarta, just don't mention Stadium.. ha
No phone cameras back then

I heard a rumour that the hidden city in ubud had slowed down , something about correct permits not in place . They will be getting squeezed for more $ probably . Many projects go ahead without all the boxes being ticked, then pay their way out of it . This has got to be one of the more ugly style of accommodation architecture I’ve seen . 3 hectares of rain forest bulldozed .

Really suits the vibe and surroundings of Ubud. :(

She must have borrowed that suit from David Byrne

Beach cleanup, indo style . Out of sight out of mind .

Lembongan Surf Team do a far better job of looking after their beaches. Instead of burying it in the sand , it’s taken to the local dump . Even out of the wet season , they do monthly beach & mangrove cleanups . A never ending job but the guys are proud of their island .

Is she speaking Russian? if so is this a Russian backed project.

Read a few comments here about the influx of Russians into Bali and I recently saw an article about how the new president of Indonesia has invited the Russian navy to carry out joint naval exercises in the region, in addition to the ones with the Australian Navy, that's gonna be awkward, as well a new (one of a few) agreement being signed for the construction of a Russian nuclear power station. So it seems that there is a real political influence happening as well just tourists

@fliplid , here’s an old article on the project from the ABC . The new ICON shopping centre in Sanur I believe was Russian backed , all the name brands in there and dearer than OZ . https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-02-10/ubud-bali-russian-development-hi…

Russian built nuclear power plant in a country with a lot of seismic activity , what could possibly go wrong ?

Supa can u confirm a large section of all the old beachfront restaurants in Sanur have been knocked down for a mega project...sad if true loved that section.

I haven’t seen anything but will ask my driver tomorrow . Wouldn’t surprise me , sleepy sanur is full steam ahead with shopping centres, accommodation well above the coconut trees, huge cosmetic hospitals . The main road through the guts of sanur is gridlocked on Sunday’s now . Old buildings that were derelict and overgrown are rapidly being transformed . There’s still some classic old warungs about . The legendary naughty nuri’s warung in ubud , famous for its pork ribs , has a huge restaurant in sanur now as well as Seminyak.

@ Supafreak "Russian built nuclear power plant in a country with a lot of seismic activity , what could possibly go wrong ?"

That was might first thought as well, not to mention a penchant for dodgy building regulations. Re that ABC article, it's sad to see what's been done in Ubud

andy-mac, sometimes I get the impression that we have as well considering how reliant we are on China. Could be fun and games up north during the naval exercises though

Supa can u confirm a large section of all the old beachfront restaurants in Sanur have been knocked down for a mega project...sad if true loved that section.

I haven’t seen anything but will ask my driver tomorrow . Wouldn’t surprise me , sleepy sanur is full steam ahead with shopping centres, accommodation well above the coconut trees, huge cosmetic hospitals . The main road through the guts of sanur is gridlocked on Sunday’s now . Old buildings that were derelict and overgrown are rapidly being transformed . There’s still some classic old warungs about . The legendary naughty nuri’s warung in ubud , famous for its pork ribs , has a huge restaurant in sanur now as well as Seminyak.

just had confirmation "Where the middle Nest Spa was. Taken out about 6 shops and outdoor restaurants. In between the bend and Maya."

I'm not very familiar with Sanur, but it sounds like the area in question.

Sad, really like staying in Sanur, last kind of 'old' Bali near beach without influencer crowd, always was referred to as Snore, and I liked it like that. Old Euros mainly
Was there in sept and big new shopping centre really has changed vibe, also alot more aussie families that would normally stay in legian....
Bali is a changing......

Big block of land behind those restaurants used to be able to park there.Been fenced off for a while now.As old mate says the owner is VERY high up in Indonesian elite.Very good mail a while back suggested big development was on the cards.Yes ,Sanur is changing

Only good bit about Icon is a new shortcut to the beachfront.
