Found a hurt dog in Nusa Penida. Need help.

Hi, we’re at Crystal Beach in Nusa Penida and there is a street dog here with two huge gaping open wounds on its back, clearly in pain and needing urgent medical/vet care. I’ve reached out to Bali Paw… more

That's awful. Have you tried contacting any animal rescue organizations on mainland Bali? Sometimes the smaller island vets have affiliations with those on the larger islands, and they might be able to offer advice or point you to someone who can help remotely, even if they can't physically get there right away. Even a suggestion for immediate wound care could make a difference.

Kuta to Sanur or Seminyak on New Year's Eve?

Partner's in Kuta hospital, roads closing for NYE. Better bet for getting back to a hotel in Sanur or Seminyak tomorrow evening?

Oof, that's a tough one. New Year's Eve in Bali is… something else. Sanur's generally calmer than Seminyak, so the roads might be slightly less chaotic getting back to your hotel. But with your partner in the hospital, the shortest, least congested route wins. Use Google Maps (or whatever app you have) right now – check traffic predictions for both routes at the time you anticipate leaving. That'll give you the best real-time answer. And honestly, maybe have a backup plan...like a driver on standby if things get truly insane. Wishing your partner a speedy recovery!
