1 week in Bali ain't enough says I. Bali was fantastic!
It was fun and sunny,
mystical and quiet,
it was rowdy and boisterous,
it was beautiful and breathtaking.
Bali is Bali and could never be anything but Bali.
The food was plentiful, cheap and really good with the exceptions of how dry some of it was. ~laughs~
The sunsets were magnificent and the skies blue all day.
The streetside, beachside vendors are sometimes too much to take. If anything would Bali me out it would be them... Massage? Mushrooms?Sex?
Lady: Buy from me la..
Me: No thanks (politely)
L: Buy la, bagi laris
M: no thanks, I already bought one!
L: But you haven't bought from me yet... buy la...
M: *puts on my ipod and lights a cigarette*
L: you want to buy mushroom???? *raises eyebrows*
M: magic mushroom??!?!?!?!?! *takes off ipod*
L: *pulls out little hand knitted mushrooms in the rastafarian colours*
M: but these aren't magic!
L: jangan ngomong magic nanti polisi datang! (don't say magic otherwise the police will come)
M: aahahahahahahahah...
After about 10 minutes of laughhter and haggling the price, I bought those hand knitted mushrooms for the entertainment value of it!
The sunsets were amazing and the local people were friendly and warm. The nightclub scene is really fun too! Had a great time going out and dancing with the locals especially the cute ones with the willing smiles!
The long walks on the beach at 3am from Seminyak back to Kuta were the things I would remember the most. Stars shining out, doggies barking their welcomes, flood-lights gleaming on the ever breaking surf and the soft sandy beaches.. This was the highlight of my Bali trip.
But I haven't been to Dreamland yet, I haven't had babi guling yet, I haven't had a tattoo of a frangipani flower yet, I haven't surfed enough yet, I haven't done the arts scene at Ubud and gone to Nusa Dua yet. So many things to do.
Bali I will be back!
