Pitfalls of retiring to Bali to live

Should the Australian taxpayers' fund the hundreds of thousands of dollars it will cost to bring an injured man back to Australia for treatment after being assaulted in Bali.??

He would need to be brought back on a specially fitted plane.

This man has been living in Bali for 10 years and has no travel insurance.  I feel very sorry for him but where does it end.  If this man is helped out others will want the same treatment if they have no travel insurance and get into trouble anywhere in the world.

People need to think long and hard before they decide to live in other parts of the world.  You definitely need to think of what would happen if you needed urgent medical treatment that is for sure.

Maybe crowd funding is the way to go.   Seems to be the answer to everything these days.

Simple - stuff him!  Go tell someone who cares!  Sick of all these leech's in society!         :-)

Why would anyone go to live in Bali?

It's full of Australian bogans!

 

....... surprised you not there then if that's the case?   

from all your put downs of EVERBODY on this site BARAK,  I WONDER why you are still here,     you seem to class everyone who doesnt agree with you as , some kind of lesser being,     if we are all so  boring and beneath you,   why dont YOU go home,  

Foxy's response was a lot cleverer than that.

Hahahahaa - nice one Barak!

i wasnt trying to be clever barak,    just saying how i feel,  

What? That you don't approve of me me saying how I feel?

The man who was assaulted has died in Bali!

... there was a story in todays Herald Sun - there are hundreds of Aussie's  that die in really "weird' ways in Bali every year!  Scary! 

 

Was watching an old episode of that show Embassy today and I often wonder if people (especially the younger ones) have any idea that they are NOT covered buy their travel insurance if they do something stupid and injure themselves.

One very stupid young (drunk)  man was on holiday with his fiancee, got back to their hotel room and decided he would surprise his friends in an adjoining room by going from his balcony to theirs.

He woke up in hospital in intensive care.  His room was on the 10th floor and he fell 5 floors into a garden bed.  Very fortunate he did not go the whole ten floors as he would have been dead.

How he survived I dont know but he did and after injuring his back and having an operation on his vertebrae he amazingly walked out.

The cost of his hospital stay was $60,000 and he had to pay the lot himself.

 

.... wanker!    lol lol lol    .....I will look up that article in the paper and give you the stats. tomorrow ....it was amazing!!!
