Ray has been busy as ever, carefully cropping and uploading a range of new products to the Sourcing Bali website, as well as the Hospitality Essentials Website. Each month, the most recent products can be found on these sites by simply clicking NEW PRODUCTS - we try to keep ahead of the competiton and feature only new and interesting designs. It's a good idea to visit often - at least as often as I write this newsletter, so that you stay informed of what's new.

| April - Super Busy |
|
We were very pleased to see a burst of activity in April with lots of customer / buyer visits. At many times, all 4 of our cars were out with clients and our Account Managers were kept busy with visits to suppliers, preparing buying lists, following up on samples, drawings and quotes. May continues to look just as busy, and we thank you for your tremendous support.
If you are unable to make it to Bali for a buying trip, we can still assist with online orders. Our crew has many years of experience handling email requests and our same day / 24 hour response to requests means that you are never left waiting. If we're waiting for suppliers to get back to us, then we'll always let you know and keep following up.
Buying trips are the most efficient means of ordering, and we make sure that your time is well spent. Whether for personal or commercial needs, our Account Managers ensure that you visit quality suppliers, suitable for your needs. Making sure that everything on your list is sourced.
For details of our buying trips - please email or visit our website www.sourcing-bali.com/buying-trips

| exchange rates |
|
We have seen a lot of volatility in the Rupiah exchange rates recently, particularly with the US$. Currently the Rupiah is trading at 9100, however in recent days it's been as low as 8860 and as high as 9200.
If you have any questions about the exchange rates, please feel free to email sheny@sourcing-bali.com and she will update you on currency exchanges. Our website also features a currency converter .. it's found on the bottom left corner after you register. www.sourcing-bali.com
The Indonesian Rupiah is not commonly tradable, thus for overseas transfers, you need to make transactions in either foreight currency. In most cases US$, Euro or AUD$ is preferred.

| Staff Party - 9 years |
|
Sourcing Bali is 9 years young.. and to celebrate our special occassion, the entire crew spent a day on the Ayung River for some fun team building - white water rafting.
For most, it was their first time - so it was a little aprehensive, but the fear soon gave way to smiles and a fun day was had by all.
We say a special thanks to Bali Adventure Tours who took great care of our 'little' group of 86. The entire day went by without a hitch and we ended the day with a delicious lunch at Yani's warung in Sayan.
The crew are all asking when we can do it again...!!!
