Remember to leave your drugs at home, lest you end up the subject of Midnight Express 2.
Is it “tourism” if you live there for 10 years?
If their government considers it as a tourism so why not? I consider having $1k per month as enough for a great live without needness to get a job. AFAIK Bali is one of the best points for surfing and this is not an easy skill, so 10 years of learning how to board an ocean is a generous gift.
It's "tourists" or "expatriates" when rich people do it, and "immigrants" when poor people do it
