BALI 06

BALI I had went for only 3 short days and to be honest I would not recommend you to go bali just for the weekend. Coz it is too short and you can't do much in just 3 days. Everyone who visit bali should at least be there for a week or more.

PIX: We stayed at BOUNTY HOTEL which cost about EST SGD 50+. It was alright as the rooms are clean and most of all the pool is open 24 hours :) This hotel was near Kuta beach area, so lucky for us we can just walk out of the hotel, within 5 mins and we are at the street of pubs and bars. Too bad that night was pretty quiet and the pubs there are pretty much empty so we headed back to the hotel and had an early night.

PIX: Had our breakfast in the morning and decided to sign up with the hotel to go water rafting. (est cost USD 25 per person) On our way to the place by bus, we took some snap shots of the locals living up the hill. Pretty interesting..
PIX: The guy below is our instructor and 3 of us were in one boat. He is a funny guy hehe... the water was not as strong as I thought it would be but for a beginner/ first timer like me, it was pretty exciting and fun. Especially at the last part of the river, we came down from this 4m high waterfall.
PIX: Once we reach the end of the river, all of us have to climb this long long steps of stairs up the hill to have our lunch. Hmm.. i didn't really eat the food cos it was not that yummy looking to me. But the most amazing thing which I came across was that, while rafting, there is this woman taking a shower naked by the river and our instructor just say "hi" like not even noticing that she is naked. 1st thing that came to my mind was, if this happen in a city, MY GOD! all the guys will stop and just stare at her for at least a good 5 mins. Then it makes me wonder, how i wish everyone in this world will be as innocent as these villages in bali and there will be no crime, rape or robbery....
PIX: We went to Seminyak to look for a shop which will be selling the party entrance tickets for year end party at Krabi.. but they told us that we have to wait for a week... damn wat luck! As we do not really know what is around Seminyak hence we just walk around aimlessly and checking out all the stores which are selling accessories, psychedelic artwork and etc.... We came by this so call SPA and went for a massage instead hehe.....
PIX: It was about 9pm when we finish our massage and din't know where to head. Again, without a clue or a map, both of us just wander around the dark streets trying to explore the place. It was pretty scary as most of the shops have close and there are no sight of any tourist around there. Luckily, we came across this street and saw some restaurants. The picture below is a restruant open by a japanese. the ambiance there is really good and the food are ok.

After that, for the balance 2 pictures below, that is double6. It only opens after 2pm till morning with a entry fee. (can't remember how much was it but it was affordable) this club they spins dance music, abit of a trance and house. But the crowd looks either too young in their teens or some of them are like too old about 40s. Anyway we enjoyed the night and met HOLLI who is a Malaysian working in Bali and occasionally Batam doing batik artwork. cool guy and helpful but too bad his English is not that fantastic hehe...

PIX: this is HOLLI picture which i ripped off from his facebook profile hehe..

PIX: last day.. HOLLY met up with us and we went to walk around Kuta, did abit of shopping, tried to look for A&W but CLOSED DOWN! Due to the limited time that we have, we couldn't go to the beach and suntan but did take a few pics of the beach at Kuta.

PIX: Had dinner at BOUNTY HOTEL and took a cab to the airport.

LESSON LEARN in this trip: Be careful of the zeros you see on the dollar note cos we gave an extra big fat ZERO to the taxi driver.. Luckily for us, we had the exact money left for the tax at the airport or we will be in deep trouble.
