Singapore to Bali via Hong Kong....

what is Bali?
This is a top pick! Describe Bali? This is a start.... Stone carvings decorating houses, temples, street corners...everywhere. Gods, goddesses, indescribable creatures...well taken care of ...all wearing cloth sarongs and waist sashes and most with a parasol ...
Would you like an egg in your coke?
This is a top pick! ... Transport on the island is a big easy network. But we were about to go to Java, and our only option was leaving from Denpasar, so we went. We arrived in one bus station and had to make our way to another across town. The driver told ...
Giggling..
This is a top pick! ... that would enable me to get past his desk. Apparently , I still had to procure a VISA to allow any kind of entry into Indonesia. They are $25USD and enable you to stay for thirty days. 'Even though I was only staying in departures for 4 hours?!' ...
Four Seasons Indulgence
This is a top pick! We left Darwin in a bit of rush in the end, but before we knew it we had arrived in a different world: hectic Bali, with close to 4m people all squeezed on a tiny island. The contrasts between Bali and Western Australia could not have been greater: ...
Indonesia

This is a top pick! Back to cheapness again! Bali here we come, well after a troublesome entry over visas, meaning we paid for a 7 day as by the 24 hour clock, we were there for less than 7 days but by true corrupt Government style, we were there 8 days as each day counts, ...
The Flying Fish and Uluwatu
So on with our adventure, the whole gang piled into a car and headed to the famous surf spot uluwatu where there wasn't' much surf(Bali standards, not Cali) but a bunch to see. First off in order to get this spot you have to travel down a very steep hill ...

We have more pictures than we know what to with, and sometimes they don't quite fit into an entry. So here are some random ones we thought suitable for the ...
Like Art.
I'm still at a loss for words for this week, but in a different way. It's like I can't communicate quite right what is going on in my heart and in my head. It's like a metaphor alone could do it justice; like art is the only medium through which certain ...
My World 2.0 (hahah)
... in order to be here. My ordinary day-to-day has been temporarily cancelled as I adopt a new day-to-day here in Indonesia (and even a new "day," considering the 12-hour time difference). I wonder what that’s doing to me. I haven’t thought ...
Balmy Bali
Well we've both agreed it seems a long time ago we arrived here in Bali in the wee small hours of the morning on Tuesday the 12th of Sept. Got off to a real bad start, took ages to get through immigration, then big hassle with airport porters ...
Bali Beaches
Apparently Bali is a real cultural hotspot with a rich history of its own unique Hinduism in the midst of an Islamic area, heroic revolution and tragic defeat by colonial powers. I say apparently because we never quite made it that far, getting stuck at ...
Elephant rides and "Ryan's adventure tours"

Ulu watu and kecak dance
We got picked up by our guide at 2.30pm and headed off to ulu watu. The camera still isnt working but we have a small hope that its the battery that has died rather than the camera itself. So, we bought a little disposable which takes only 27 photos and ...
No Other Stream

Lombok en Bali, Indonesie
... we ons naar Denpasar om onze eerste poging in de kwestie ‘verlengen van het 30-dagen visum’. Dit bleek in Denpasar helaas 7 dagen in beslag te nemen (en niet te versnellen met geld). Die avond zijn we doorgereden naar het kustplaatsje ...
Bali-Bye

Moving Faces!
I always see people differently once I see their faces move. I can see as many photos of a person as I want, but when I see his or her face move for the first time, it's like I suddenly see the breath in the life of a uniquely created human being. This ...
