The Latest News From Bali & Indonesia /August 5, 2022/ PayPal Is Back & More On The Komodo Controversy

Complaints about the government blocking a variety of websites is continuing, but PayPal is back again. They have registered with the government. The controversy about the massive increase in the fee for Komodo and Padar is still a hot topic. It seems that the increase has been put off until December at least, but nothing appears to be certain at this point. Everyone wants to chime in on this issue. The governor of Bali says the airport will be built, but for now he is focused on the new west coast highway. And 5G is now in Bali.

The number of new Covid has increased since the last video, and is now back up over 6,000. However, nothing to be concerned about. The weather is fantastic. Keep on smiling. Stay safe, be kind to someone today, and thanks for viewing.
