BG3 Characters Safest Driver Headcanons

I've been thinking about that poll from months ago way too much, so I've pulled this from my drafts. In this essay, I will explain why Boo is the best driver. Astarion: Terrible. Absolutely terrible driver. He is doing his makeup with the visor down, looking at the mirror more than the road. Suspend your disbelief, he's driving in this universe. He can use mirrors. ♥ You have to grab the steering wheel, regularly. Without warning, the man twists around to find his purse in the back seat because he wants a different eyeliner than what he grabbed. You are on aux duty. He hates everything you've picked. 2/10, he lawyered his way into that license Gale: You would think he would be safe, but then you remember that Gale didn't pay attention in boring classes. And how hard could driving really be?? The man knows how to drive perfectly textbook. He also thinks he knows how to do it better than everyone else. He does not adapt well to poor drivers. The roads are full of poor drivers. He is yeling "Zipper!" at the merging traffic. You spend five minutes in the parking lot so he can find just the right song for the trip.

6/10, you will probably not die Halsin: The man drives slow, I'm sorry. He's fuel efficient as you can get with the windows down. He pulls over and stops traffic for ducks crossing the road, no matter what the current road conditions are. He stops to show you the new tree the neighbor got. He is a Yellowstone Park tourist. He wants to show you the world, one traffic-stopping mid-road parking job at a time. There is no music, we are listening to nature today. 4/10, you will be rear-ended with him and not the way most people want Jaheira: I stand by what I said last time: Jaheira reminds me of so many older women I know. She drives like she wants someone to start shit with her. She's so conditioned by having 5 kids fighting in the backseat at all times that every time she's behind the wheel she's having Vietnam-level flashbacks. Her blood is pumping in her ears. There is no road, there is only the red of her vision. She won't start the road rage incident directly, but by god, she will end it. (You tried to ask about music, but the look she gave you when asked killed the question.) 5/10, you make it to your destination intact. But at what cost? Your pants are a different color at the end of the trip than they were at the beginning. Karlach: Karlach is talking with her hands while she drives. She's fiddling with the radio constantly. You've blown four red lights. Three of them were the same red light because she took a wrong turn. She will not use GPS, she's got the vibe of where she's going. She was trying to show you something on her phone at the same time. It cannot wait. It was so good you have to see it right now. The tunes are so loud she hasn't heard the sirens behind her. 4/10, the tunes almost make up for it Lae'zel: You are helping her check her mirror distance before you get in the car. You are buckled in before the car even starts. You are not allowed to touch the light in the car if it is dark out. She was taught that it's illegal to have on at night and she takes that shit seriously. You are on blindspot-watching duty at all times. You're not allowed to have music on the in car, it is a distraction. 7/10, we are efficient, but we are miserable Minsc: Minsc cannot drive. Minsc was meant to drive today, but Minsc got into the wrong seat. We are all relieved. Jaheira trained him wrong on purpose and will kill you if you correct him. 0/10, don't even try. He will survive the accident, you will not. Minthara: Minthara, light of my life. She is gremlin cackling and riding bumpers the whole time. People are pulling off constantly to get away from her. You are white-knuckling in the passenger seat and are too afraid to let go of the bitch-bar. You pray her airbags are up to date because your life has not stopped flashing before your eyes since you got onto the road. We are exclusively listening to The Flight of the Valkyries. 7/10, it is shockingly efficient when no one else is on the road anymore

Shadowheart: I have been in many a 'Shadowhearts' car. The car is more of a problem than she is. She drives the type of car that makes people go, "You live like this?" She drives a manual. She was not trained to drive a manual. Almost every single dash light is on, the ones that aren't had their bulbs die out years ago. We don't know how old that trash is, but it lives here now. She has one of those cassette players that has to hook into your phone to come out the speakers. Good luck finding the right adaptor in the mess. 4/10, girl get your shit together Wyll: Wyll is the best driver, hands down...when he is alone. Like all things in his life, his greatest flaw is being too polite. He turns his whole fucking head to look at you when you talk because that is the polite thing to do. The road is secondary to how important your conversation and companionship are to him. And you can't not talk him! He's asking you genuine questions about your day because he's interested. You get to listen to whatever you want and he's totally down for it even if it's not normally his thing. He'll find something he likes about it. Alone: 100/10, he somehow makes everyone better drivers by just being on the road With you: 5/10, Wyll, please, look at the road. ;_;

Boo: My eyes are closed. It's better this way. We made it there in record time. I don't know how it happened. I don't need to know how it happened. ?/10, it's best if you don't think about it

If you get this, answer w/ three random facts about yourself and send it to the last seven blogs in your notifs. anon or not, doesn’t matter, let’s get to know the person behind the blog! 💖

Thank you!

I have finally finished the incredibly stressful work role that often had me working 14 hour days and nearly cost me my sanity. I feel like I can breathe again! It really impacted my Simming routine too so I hope I can get back into a more regular posting schedule.

We have booked our trip to Vietnam and received our visas! I'm so excited. We leave in a couple of weeks. Cannot wait to go here in particular:

3. I'm really enjoying an HBO show called Somebody Somewhere at the moment. The 3rd Season will launch in October, apparently. Yay!

Would you mind sharing your views on backpacking? 👀

Take all of this with a grain of salt because I'm mostly just bothered by backpacking content on Instagram.

I think the concept is fine. I'd actually like to do some backpacking some time.

But backpacking content, as well as most overland* content, always has a really weird vibe. It almost feels like cosplaying poverty if you know what I mean??

It's almost always young people from the so called "West" and almost always they're somewhere in South or Southeast Asia. The most popular backpacking destinations I'm seeing at the moment are Bali (exclusively that part of Indonesia for some reason), Thailand, Vietnam and Sri Lanka. The algorithm has recently also started showing me content from Pakistan, India and Afghanistan.

Since flights to these destinations are usually quite expensive, and many of these people stay abroad long enough that they might need a visa and that accommodation and food would also add up, it can be safely assumed these people have a certain amount of financial stability. Some of them are full time influencers too.

And while travelling with a backpack instead of a suitcase makes sense, and while you want to have an "authentic" experience, the vibe on those videos is often sooooo weird.

They're always like "I just spent 45h standing in a cramped bus without AC because it was only $1. I'm sleeping on the floor of this abandoned building that costs me $4 a night. I only carry 2 t-shirts with me, can't find a laundromat and I'm travelling for 3 months. Yesterday I got scammed and got food poisoning."

And I'm like why are you doing this? Is it really more "authentic" just because it's a foreign country? You can find the same uncomfortable situations and people who live like that all the time in your home country, but when you're abroad it's cool and authentic and #humbling #eatpraylove. Meanwhile there's also people in that same country you're backpacking through who, like, have a comparable standard of living you're used to. Your holiday doesn't have to be luxury resorts but it also doesn't have to be absolutely god awful.

And of course there's also the factor of adrenaline and stepping out of your comfort zone but with these videos it seems like they're almost glamorising having an awful time in an "exotic" country because that's what it's supposed to be like? I guess?

Idk I feel like I should get the opinion of someone living in one of those backpacking hotspots to make sure I'm not just getting annoyed at nothing but I think the vibe is off.

*overland content as in "travelling from XY to YZ without flying - Day 420" type videos. They're often interesting and I follow some of those people and I actually have some ideas for cool overland or long distance train trips but some of the accounts also have a weird vibe. Most of the ones I saw were men and they're like hitchhiking through some desert somewhere and I'm like oh this would feel so unsafe to me as someone perceived female. And obviously they also make lots of content where you know they have lots money because they've been travelling for several months but it has that same fake low budget backpacker vibe.

I hope this makes sense. I'm not sure it does.

[vano6105]

I welcome all guests, subs and fans.

Thank you for appreciating my fan art, including my designs! 😉👍

But, you know, such interest to me could be caused by aesthetics, drawing (close on the level of Sonic universe) and my characters abroad of course, as in many countries are trying to survive as they can various crises and changes. Independent creative people are starting to flourish, presenting various original projects to all comers. - but NOT in MY HOMELAND [Russia]. When the collapsed country was unusually able to rebuild itself again, for me the effect of presence was only amplified outside of Russia.

You may have heard more than once that many countries wanted to completely isolate my country [Russia] repeatedly because of crises and war. However, these attempts failed miserably when Russia started to raise industry and take action on its own, while improving relations with some eastern countries like China, Vietnam, India, and others. So far things are going full steam ahead, but alas, against the backdrop of these situations, for some reason corrupt personalities and some dubious products so called "russian labels" have dramatically appeared. These people "deserve fame" on TV, in Russian platforms, which later will easily serve the population as the best examples. And the "labels" are like answers, killers of something/someone, which then fall apart in their hands when used.

Toxicity is REALLY off the charts!!! Although my homeland [Russia] tries to give the population opportunities to invent, create, establish something so that the population can have a good life - but I think it all feels superficial. In fact, indie projects, initiatives, developments, inventions MY COUNTRY, where I live, does NOT ALWAYS REALIZE them FULLY. "Russian labels" for many has long been an "easy" way to justify the realized projects. At worst, they turn out disgusting.

I'm really sorry if you have to hear this:

I'm a fixated Sonic fan, a SEGA fan since early childhood, really distant from the communities. I live alone, I have a completely different perspective on certain world events that happen. I may really love idols and cultures, but I don't often interact with communities AT ALL.

I'm a Russian fan artist, I've been drawing since 2017 (when FIFA 2018 championship was approaching). The real start was drawing a bunch of characters from different foreign cartoons and video games. There was a massive leap in 2020, and the drawings changed over time - got better, but in many fandoms was more like nobody, hostage and outcast, accumulated a lot of pain. Mostly did outsourcing (helping others), I have almost NOTHING of my own to show others. Local people, when they look at my creations, reject me and go to "selling" personalities (there are many of them in Russia, you understand, they want money). Because of toxicity and aggression, I get frustrated and feel bad when my fan creations are automatically thrown to the dump and forgotten for a long time. I might notice a similar thing after a while. Not much left from supporting former foreigns (until the 2020s) and after a good emotional experience (especially the trip to Moscow in 2023) . My universe (Sora the Hybrid Cat) has existed since the 2020s, old drawings are proof of that.

I'm sad whether the toxicity and aggression (Russia is no exception) will be cleaned up completely or not, anyway I'll be drawing fan art for novelties, indie projects - absolutely anything that can fall out. I'm really grateful to local fans and fan artists from different countries (many of them Japanese) for finding something atypical. I will make content at all costs to make it a new holiday for them. It's quality, not quantity, that's very important to me. In the future, I'm going to mine new technologies and I'm going to learn them, gaining experience. If possible, I will try to adapt to foreign completely, if there is someone willing to do it.

☺ Thank you all so much for your adoration and support of my activities! ☺

If you have something to say, if you are interested, please, you can in comments, you can in ask, you can in direct message (DM)! 🖍

Thank you! 🌸🌊

[terrence-silver]

Beloved asking Terry to show case his weaponry skills for them because they admire his talent. The adrenaline he experiences , the glee , she just wants to see him in action... Terry's reaction in different eras?

― Twig is skittish and flustered, reasonably speaking. Of course he is. Sharing your hobbies and passions with people isn't as always as easy as it sounds. Doubt anyone in his civilian life has ever actually asked him to showcase his skills outside of John and the people he trained with in their Korean dojang (seeing as how father was undoubtedly disapproving of Karate as a whole, telling him to leave both that and Vietnam behind and other individuals he might've mingled with might have been confused what Tang So Doo was in the first place and why it is so meaningful to him), but here beloved is, an outsider as it were, wanting to have a demonstration all for them; A young Terry could be somewhat bashful initially, due to how new this all could be, but it quickly melts away as he actually starts twirling and turning, say, some glossy blade he chooses to show off with, beloved's admiration of him making him a bit cocky in the best way possible. Twig beams like a child. It feels good, actually. To be viewed with acclaimed and applause by someone who he craves it from. Cunning and yearning for attention more and more and more each second, he might just...pretend to trip and fall mid-demonstration so beloved would get worried, rush over to him and fuss him some. Now he gets to have a caretaker that will fluff and puff him for a few days too (even though he is absolutely fine and is only acting clumsy), as well as being impressed by his skills, telling him to be more careful next time. Being loved is glorious.

― In the 80's? This is going to end up being erotic. An elaborate dance of seduction. Terry is magnificent and the picture of grace, not unlike a stalking, deadly panther, with whatever weapon he chooses. But, his goal? Titillate beloved as much as daunt them. He is fully aware how beautiful and dangerous he looks. He might choose to do this (teasing) demonstration blindfolded, just to up the stakes for himself, make it all the more challenging and because he's confident, arrogant and agile --- at his prime. At his strongest, fastest, most extravagant and most unhinged. There is a high possibility of him deliberately tearing at a clueless beloved's clothes, standing nearby and observing, with the tip of his blade, never once missing as he expertly cuts through their blouse or shirt with little effort like it is paper, sending buttons flying. Somehow, he knows exactly where they are, even when he doesn't actually have his eyes to use temporarily speaking. A man can't see, he can't fight? Rubbish. He very much can, because he's taught himself how, and once he removes his blindfold and smilingly approaches a breathless, blushing beloved clutching their partially exposed torso hit with an adrenaline rush (Of fear? Of want?) themselves, he will use that same blame to tip their chin up, have them look at him and then promptly cut away the rest of their attire too, leaving them naked for his pleasure. He preformed for beloved, now he wants a little something back too. This dance wasn't for free.

― Old man Terry gives beloved a tour of his weapon collection himself once he feels they understand him, his hobbies and interests well enough where he will be listened to intently (as he feels he is entitled to be), because we know for a fact his social circle didn't always know him well enough to be introduced into any facet of his life. But, beloved is different. He doesn't have to hide with beloved. He gives them an elaborate history of every sword, every dagger, scimitar, katana, nunchuck, knife and whip he acquired from various auctions worldwide throughout the years, costing an actual fortune to archive and amass. He lets beloved hold each. He shows them how to hold it. He holds it himself for him, twirling the fine steel in his arms, never separating his eyes from beloved, explaining that the craftsmanship is so fine, they could balance it on the tip of their fingers and it would never fall, which they do. Terry places a sword on the tip of beloved's fingers and it stays there, solid and firm. Then, on their shoulders, adjusting the hilt and the blade, being ever so close, breathing beloved in, instructing them not to move an inch. If it falls, Terry catches it before it reaches the ground, smirking as he does. Old man's fast, isn't he? Has beloved kissing the sword as 'apology' to the weapon itself playfully, but really, this is just elaborate foreplay for him before he ever actually even shows beloved a few moves. The demonstration in Terry's private gallery ends and he just takes beloved on the rich Persian carpet there and there.

UNDRGRND ARTIST: DENIZ IZADI

BY NFTJOE, ORIGINALLY POSTED OCTOBER 21, 2022 ON UNDRGRND.IO

Marta

Each week 100 NFTs are minted and randomly airdropped to UNDRGRND Membership Cardholders. To find out how you can be featured as an UNDRGRND Artist check out our Discord. 

Disney’s best-selling product isn’t a theme park, movie, or a streaming platform, it’s escapism. For decades people have flocked to Disney World to recapture their inner child and avoid the realities of a world that crushes that sense of wonderment and magic. The glamorous nostalgia of Disney will make one forget about problems, worries and issues if you simply believe that it can. Deniz Izadi plays with the paradox that this creates of reality and fantasy throughout her work.

The subversive nature of Deniz’s work mesmerizes her audience with beautiful moving colors like mosquitoes to a bug zapper, only to hit the viewer over the head with her stories of inequity and ironic juxtapositioning. “At first, I was very interested in drawing dark paintings,” Deniz says, “but gradually I realized people prefer to see colorful art.”

That’s exactly what Deniz accomplishes in all her work.

Her unknown faceless girls wearing Micky Mouse ears represent the faceless, unknown, impoverished girls in third-world countries wearing the souvenirs of a multi-billion dollar media conglomerate. “A period in my life was a backpacker,” Deniz says, “On my trip to beautiful Vietnam, a cute little girl from a poor family wore a shiny Mickey Mouse ears hat and her mother was selling flowers, The little girl was drawing shapes on the floor with her finger, She had no idea about Mickey Mouse and the glamor of the Disney World.” Add in a problematic history of Disney, and working conditions, this idea of what is presented and what lies behind it all adds another dimension to her work.

This theme of beautiful presentation vs ugly truth is hammered home in her series featuring Carnivale dancers from Rio de Janeiro. Deniz writes in the description for Viviane, “To understand the Rio samba schools, you have to understand where the schools come from — poor, marginal communities, mostly in the favelas, or shantytowns, of the city. The schools' annual displays cost millions of dollars — a combustible mix of money and poverty, says Aydano Motta, a journalist, and author who has written extensively about Rio's samba schools.

“As she puts it, the Carnival brings both joys and woes to its participants."

"The image of a woman in Carnival is very complex, not just for those on the inside but for the people on the outside as well."

“For Viviane, dancing at the Carnival helps her forget about everyday problems. ‘When I start dancing, when I hear the bateria’s rhythm, I become a completely different person. It is a character that exists there to be happy and to interact with the audience,’ she said, ‘I cannot live without samba anymore.’

“‘I’m in love with the samba school whose honor I uphold, and when I die I think they’ll put a Salgueiro crest on my coffin.’”

Even those aware cannot escape the draw to the beautiful as opposed to reality.

AVAILABLE ON OBJKT

A female of Iranian descent now living in Turkey, it’s fitting Deniz’s work, which has always showcased inequalities and celebrated the strength of women, now can be seen through a different lens against the backdrop.

Now the juxtaposition of these women pretending to be a cartoon mouse, or Disney princesses flipping us off, speaks to the frustration of an entire region towards an archaic idealogy where women are forced to dress up and cater to the will of a male-dominated regime. These images are comical compared to the dire realities in Iran where improper clothing results in murder.

Up against the realities of life and giant corporations promising a way to recapture the magic of childhood naivety, could you blame anyone who would want to turn off their brain and escape? We all strive for an easier, light and carefree life but sometimes we must first sit with harsh truths to resolve them, rather than seek avoidance, and listen to artists like Deniz Izadi.

[xin-chao-asia]

Saturday, April 1

Have had a couple of days in Phuket to think about our Vietnam experience. At our Farewell Dinner, Tuan asked us to share two trip highlights. I didn't yet feel ready.

One reason was that many highlights were moments that happened separate from the group. Swimming with Aaron in the South China Sea. Looking at the colored lanterns while walking hand- in-hand on the night streets of Hoi An. Seeing Aaron's glow as he told me about his standout dinner experience at Rue and then offering four carefully packaged take out boxes so that I might enjoy the experience too. Getting measured for a second dress at that sweet little woman's shop. Having our quiet cup of coffee on the deck before the group got up, looking at the wonders of Ha Long Bay. Sharing a drink on the roof top at The Rex after a memorable performance in Saigon. Connecting with Nancy as a special friend.

The other reason was that I needed to let it all sink in. The moments I shared that night were right, but the "why's" weren't yet clear to me.

The impact of ongoing war lives on in Vietnam. 100 years of tortuous French colonial rule led to new ideas under Ho Chi Minh. Then, as so often happens, greed prevailed and land reform was a grab that back fired. Promises broken led to civil war. The winners of that war who are tied to the Party have much privilege today. A full 90% of the population however is not party to that privilege. They work oh so hard. They toe the line. The Communist ideals continue to evolve within the modern global market economy. They worry about China. The country is clearly in transition.

So indeed, one of my most memorable moments was meeting the gentle man from the south who shared so much. And in so doing, taught so much. The idea that I'm not able to record anything he said which is still just unfathomable. It all really sunk in.

A country broken? It's hard to say. The people are unwaveringly positive and present focused.

A second most memorable moment was meeting the nun at the monastery. She exuded peace. Care. Love. Presence. Acceptance. I realize now that watching Tuan interact with each of our hosts on the trip made everything all the more impactful. He is a perfect representative of the kind of respect, honesty and kindness that is so important to the country's culture.

The spontaneous sharing of music is always special. Imagine indeed.

Someone in our group asked about recycling. There is trash littered in the waterways and streets throughout the country. Later, Tuan saw a woman on the street who was sorting through trash bags. He stopped to ask her what she collected and how she got paid, all the while treating her with the utmost of respect. After an insightful conversation, he pulled a $20 US bill out of his pocket (a fortune!) and offered it to her in thanks. Classic Tuan. She was overwrought with joy. (Another traveling insight ~ we are literally wealthy in Vietnam. To not even think about a taxi ride, the cost of a meal or a massage is so wildly freeing. And yet so jarringly difficult too. So . . . Not . . . Fair.)

The Bamboo Circus at the Opera House was a perfect culmination of our trip. The Vietnamese are flexible like bamboo. May these beautiful people find their way to ongoing peace, health and happiness. ❤️🇻🇳❤️

[formagdalene]

I am almost never late for anything in life. I hate being late. If an event is at 7am, I wake up at 5:30. If a class starts at 8, I'm sitting inside the room at 7:45am. I don't have a specific reason. Despite being a Filipino, I hate the cultural norm of being late. 

Which is why this is odd. 

I'm "late" for everything else in life. There are milestones that my peers have already checked off their lists that I am only checking off mine. From driving a car, learning how to cook, living alone, getting work, getting paid for a job, booking a flight, long drives, and now, going abroad alone. 

And yet I don't really hate it. I say "late" because there is no specific date where we are required to do all these things. Unlike the milestones for a growing child, delaying riding a plane won't result to my inability to communicate or walk at 2 years old.

I turned 26 yesterday and I felt so happy I got through the past few days safely despite all my fears and anxiety. Today, I am sitting in Lien Khuong's airport coffee shop. I am writing this as I wait for the domestic flight that will take me back to Noi Bai Airport, where my flight back home to Manila would hopefully, still be waiting for me. My poor decision making lead me to this clutch situation. Hopefully, this domestic flight won't get delayed more. 

I don't know where to start writing about this trip. I don't really feel like I owe anyone any explanation or narrative.in 

If there was one resonant idea this entire trip, it's this: a third-world country that's only a 3-hour flight away is so much more advanced than the Philippines. 

The food in Vietnam is cheaper compared to my country because their government takes Agriculture seriously. If that feels like an invented concept, you would only need to look below your airplane window and see endless expanses of farmlands after another. You would think the entire country is just that: farmlands. Even Hanoi, the capital city, a metropolis by its own standard, has some scattered farmlands here and there.  

The transport is also cheaper. I heard their government suspended oil tax. A 3km ride in Hanoi costs me P150 more or less, while it will cost me P250 in Manila. Maybe even more if it's in the peak hours. There's a perception of less traffic mostly because the roads aren't congested with cars. It's congested with motorbikes. I don't necessarily like motorbikes? Their transport system isn't as efficient as the ones I've heard of in Bangkok, Seoul or Singapore. But the grab bikes and taxis sure are more affordable than the equivalent at home.

I also noted that they value aesthetic, art and culture so much more than the Philippines. They managed to preserve the old French architecture from when they were colonized. But then, even when they build new buildings it's still the same type of architecture. It reminds me of how buildings in Manila are designed to appease the capitalists: more units, less space per unit, less windows, less expensive materials and therefore, more revenues for them. Who cares if a tall building is erected right behind a national monument, right? Who cares about the architecture?

I know Vietnam is far from perfect. As a communist government, it's not exactly the freedom of democracy the Philippines has. But when I think about it, what good has democracy done for us anyway? 

As the day passed by and I find myself here, in an airport like it's my second home,  I realized something. 

I had stopped obsessing about my future as a doctor.

In fact, if it weren't for the subtle reminders in my group chats about residency, I would have forgotten about it completely. 

The past few days, I wasn't anxious about a duty. I wasn't obsessing over the chapters of Harrison's I haven't read. I'm not thinking of duties. I'm not wearing a scrubs. I am not questioning my competence. I am not worried about the future of doctors in my dying country.

Ironically, though, I was worried about how to order the food I wanted in Vietnamese. I was worried about missing my flight. 

But the burden of worrying about these details feel so privileged. Like…I'm so lucky to be worrying about these kind of things. 

I think I finally understand why people love traveling so much, especially if it's in a different country. 

It makes you forget who you are.

In this new place, I am not a citizen. I do not speak the language. No one knows me. I am not a doctor here. You are only who you believe yourself to be. And there's beauty in anonymity. 

There's beauty and there's also loneliness. Like, when I'm lost, I find myself wishing I was lost with someone. 

But all feeling of loneliness vanishes once I get a slurp of that delicious pho. When I stand in awe in front of a beautiful sight. When I have broken English conversations with people who don't speak my language. 

I can see myself doing this again. Maybe before the year ends. Maybe in Bali. Maybe next year, on my 5-day leave. Maybe I'll go to Israel--or maybe I'll visit Japan, or Korea. I don't know. The possibilities are endless. 

I'm not late. 

I am exactly where I am supposed to be. I have reached this milestone at the perfect time in my life. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

How to prepare for wintering or relocating to Bali?

The island of Bali is an ideal place not only for spending a warm and pleasant winter but also for living. Many expatriates come to this paradise and choose to stay here. It is no wonder because Bali offers a wonderful climate, beautiful nature, relatively affordable living costs, and a fairly developed infrastructure.

What should you take care of in advance if you are flying to Indonesia for a long time?

1. Entry requirements for Indonesia

To enter the country, you will need:

A valid passport with a remaining validity of at least 6 months.

A visa, which you can obtain upon arrival at the airport or seek assistance from us to obtain.

Medical insurance is not mandatory but strongly recommended, as healthcare on the island can be expensive.

Vaccination certificates are no longer required, as they were abolished on June 9, 2023.

A return ticket, which may be requested before boarding your flight or upon arrival. If you do not have a return ticket, you may be denied boarding or entry into the country. The return date should not exceed the expiration date of your visa, before an extension. For instance, if your visa is valid for 60 days, your return ticket should be dated no later than 59 days. If you plan to extend your visa and stay in Indonesia for an extended period, you can purchase a cost-effective round-trip ticket to a third country, such as Malaysia. We do not recommend using fake tickets, as they are now closely scrutinized.

2. How to get to Bali: buying plane tickets

Bali has one international airport, located in the city of Denpasar, the island’s administrative capital, and it’s identified by the code DPS on airline websites and ticket aggregators. Various airlines operate flights to Bali, including:

Turkish Airlines

Qatar Airways

Emirates

China Eastern Airlines

Singapore Airlines

American Airlines

KLM and others. 

You can also find reasonably priced routes to Bali through Asian countries like Thailand, India, Vietnam, and others, although you might need to make multiple layovers. Low-cost carriers also offer flights from Asian countries to Indonesia.

3. How to choose the right visa without overpaying

Indonesia offers a variety of visas with different terms and conditions. The most affordable option is the Visa on Arrival, which costs only $35. You can purchase it at the airport or apply for it online in advance through an agency or the immigration office’s website. However, the immigration website and system can be somewhat unreliable, potentially causing complications. Keep in mind that this visa is suitable for short trips. Travelers planning to stay in Bali for an extended period may face significant expenses for visas, extensions, and planned trips out of the country and back to reset the visa (visa run).

To avoid overpaying, we recommend planning your trip in advance. Consider how many days you intend to spend in Indonesia, whether you will be traveling to other countries, or prefer to stay in one place. This article can help you learn about the visa conditions in Indonesia and choose the one that suits your plans.

Some travelers, especially those planning a longer stay or a relocation to Bali, may intend to work there. It’s important to note that earning income in Indonesia is only allowed with a specific work permit (KITAS). Without it, you risk deportation from the country.

If you plan to engage in commercial activities in Bali, you can establish a company with foreign investments and obtain an investor KITAS.

Feel free to reach out to us, and we’ll provide guidance on how to do this.

4. Ensure a smooth entry

After the coronavirus pandemic, Bali has experienced an unprecedented surge in tourism. The Denpasar airport is sometimes struggling to handle the influx of new arrivals. Passport control lines can be quite long, and it’s not uncommon to wait for over an hour in a stuffy environment.

We can assist you in swiftly navigating all procedures by utilizing the Fast Track service. An airport representative will meet you, escort you through the Priority Lane at passport control, assist with customs declarations, provide internet access, and even help you obtain a visa on arrival if needed. They can also assist with retrieving your luggage and delivering it to your transfer or meet-and-greet point. This service is particularly convenient if you are traveling with a substantial amount of luggage, with children, or elderly individuals.

5. Getting from the airport to your hotel or villa

Bali lacks a public transportation system, so the best options for getting to your accommodation are to either book a taxi or arrange a transfer. We don’t recommend using airport taxi services, as their prices are often inflated.

You can call for a local taxi through apps like Grab or GoJek, but this typically requires a local SIM card.

A more convenient and reliable option is to pre-book a transfer with a trusted company. They offer clean vehicles with air conditioning, punctual professional drivers who will ensure your safe and comfortable journey to your hotel or villa. You can check out their rates and make a reservation here.

6. What сurrency to bring

If you’re traveling to Bali with cash, you’ll need to exchange it for the local currency, the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR).

It’s best to bring US Dollars, Euros or Australian Dollars with you and exchange them at authorized local exchange offices or banks.

If you’re planning a long-term stay in Indonesia, you can easily set a local card up here. Unlike many other countries where a residence permit is required to open an account, tourists in Bali can do so with a tourist visa at one of the four Indonesian banks. The bonus is that these cards work seamlessly in other countries as well.

7. Do you need insurance?

Medical insurance is not a mandatory requirement for entry into Indonesia, but we strongly recommend obtaining it for your safety and peace of mind. Medical care in Bali can be quite expensive.

8. How to find accommodation in Bali

Bali offers accommodation to suit every taste and budget. The best apps for finding and booking accommodation are still Booking.com and Airbnb.

If you want to save money, it’s a good idea not to rush into booking long-term accommodation unless you are 100% sure about it. It’s best to rent a hotel or villa for one to two weeks initially and then search for your ideal home once you’re on the island. Make sure to have a written contract, especially if you are paying for your accommodation remotely.

If you encounter any payment issues, feel free to contact us, and we’ll be happy to assist you.

9. Getting around in Bali

Bali doesn’t have an extensive public transportation system, so most tourists opt to rent scooters or cars. You will need an international driver’s license (Category A for scooters and Category B for cars), so it is a good idea to obtain one in your home country before traveling.

If that’s not possible, we can guide you on how to get a local driver’s license, which is valid for five years across Southeast Asia.

Make sure to purchase a local SIM card and download ride-hailing apps like Grab and GoJek, as they offer competitive rates.

For a comfortable introduction to Indonesia, we recommend taking tours with the tourist company MyBaliTrips. On their website, you’ll find over a hundred tours across Bali and neighboring islands.

We hope your stay in Bali will be as comfortable and exciting as possible.

We stay connected with our clients and are always responsive to your inquiries, helping you navigate any issues effectively.
