What no gasoline ?
While everyone is buzzing on ITE bill, gasoline (premium fuel) has becoming a hard to find commodity lately in Denpasar or even Bali maybe, but strangely its available in bottles nearby fuel station, official said that this problem is caused by a maintenance in Debarking depo in Manggis, Karang Asem which is usually used to deploy fuel oil from tanker, now the tanker has to drop its anchor in Banyuwangi and then it uses small boat(s) to transfer the fuel oil and estimated finish in three days. So happy fuel hunting!

Where’s my 3G gone?
As i wrote this article all XL 3G related users in Bali might have been experiencing speed decreasing from 3G to GPRS only, too bad indeed but in Indonesia i think all telecommunications company believe that the only constant in the world is change, so they keep change things like a wild atom, as reported in cosa’s blog that there is an alternative for affordable unlimited internet in Indonesia, cosa mentions in his blog that Ceria by PT. Sampoerna Telekom Indonesia (is this the same Sampoerna that produced ciggaretes ? yes it is 🙂 ) can provide such cheap service for only Rp.100,000 and there are also two other packages which are 30 hours package (available for Rp .30,000) and 60 hours package (available for Rp.60,000).
