DVDs

Bali is also a Paradise for movie lovers as DVDs are very cheap: Rp.15,000 each (that's less than AUS$2 !!!), and if you buy five, you get a sixth one for free! I bought:

THE READER
ROMULUS, MY FATHER
EINSTEIN AND EDDINGTON
THE LIVES OF OTHERS (Das Leben der Anderen)
TEN CANOES
WE WERE SOLDIERS
THE PAINTED VEIL
TURTLES CAN FLY
THE VALLEY OF LIGHT

THE JANE AUSTEN BOOK CLUB
THE PIANIST
AUSTRALIA
VALKYRIE
HOTEL RWANDA
LOST IN TRANSLATION
THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND
LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA
MY BOY JACK
BORAT!

By contrast, some other things are expensive: discovered on a restaurant menu a bottle of very ordinary Jacob's Creek Chardonay for Rp.450,000. That's a cool AUS$60 for what in Australia costs less than AUS$10. Not that I was interested as I was already into my second glass of local rice wine!!!
