I actually wanted to write about my whole experience in Bali before posting this up but I just wanted to release the picture first, doing the talking later if people would actually want to come back to visit this blog.
Bali was a different experience.
It was my first time.
First, I didn’t expect it to be so humid and really scorching hot. Secondly, there were so many mini marts you just won’t miss them. Thirdly, it felt more like an Australian country, the amount of Australians that were there took me by surprise.
Let me tell you what I liked about Bali.
1. Food is easy to find despite rumours stating otherwise, cheap and delish (Food is a priority for me… in case you haven’t seen my physique). I really love the Nasi Padang + Teh Botol combination.
2. There are mini marts everywhere, that means there’s always a place to search for water to hydrate myself. That’s a good thing.
3. I love fine art. It has always been a passion to be able to try and create fine art pieces. Bali is a fine art heaven. If you love architecture (traditional ones that is), temples, and fine art in general… this is the place to be.
4. Their hotels/inns look amazing. Even the 2 stars ones. They excel in their deco that it’s unbelievable. Every carving on the wall seems like a story, out of this world.
5. The vibe. The moment I touched down, I felt at ease. I didn’t bring that much money, but I certainly felt so free like money was at the back of my mind. No problems, no worries.
What I disliked?
1. The weather. I was expecting clear blue skies at all times of the day but then again, most of the time I was there it was cloudy, muddy and mundane. Maybe it was the season. I’ll have to find out… I’ll go there again at another time/season.
2. The unclear non-swimmable beach at Kuta. It was dirtier than the one at Langkawi… can you guys do a beach cleanup? Nonetheless, the other beaches at Uluwatu was divine.
3. The low quality gifts. Even the keychains were horrendous. I felt ashamed to give it to my friends man. Tingkatkan quality anda ok?
I think that summarizes my first ever visit to Bali and Indonesia. Planning a trip to Bandung by the end of the year hopefully.
I’m actually sitting and reminiscing sipping Teh Botol, by the beach. Next time i’ll bring back the bottles… by hook or by crook. Here’s to more travelling, learning and new experiences in the year 2012. I got a feeling everything will take off after the end of the month. This means I will be lifeless… creating so-called creative contents for people to see. I just hope you people who read and see photos on my blog come and visit once in a while.
I’m not asking for much.
A simple ‘hi’ with (or without) a smiley ‘:)’ would make my day, anyday.
