Balisandy Cottages Kuta

... I always stay at Poppies Lane 2 if i go to Bali. You can find a lot of budget hotel here. And you can find all backpacker here from so many countries, as usual most of them is Australian. This place is very strategic, between Kuta Beach and Legian Street. If you wanna know about Bali, you can ask me..

We only had to teach two classes today: one at 7:30 and one at 9:30. Since there were four of us, we could split up the classes: two teachers for each one would be plenty. Since Miryam and Ed took the later class the day before, we switched today. Allowing Suzanne and me to sleep in a bit. But to tell the truth, I was up early enough for the first and would have preferred that one also. Running as late as 7:30 is cutting it close to not being able to go at all: the sun is ...

Let's skip the (mostly) unpleasant memories of Gili T. and move straight on to Kuta. Kuta is in the southwestern part of Bali. It is the Mallorca for Australiens. The Southeast Asian version of Ballermann.
Hundreds of pubs, clubs and shops line the narrow streets. You can get Gucci, Versage, Quicksilver, name it, they got it. All fake of course. One Billabong shop on every street corner, while inbetween hundreds of smaller shops sell sunglasses, Bintang (the local beer) shirts and ...

We had passes to a free-flow happy hour (my favorite kind) at Ocean Beach Club. It has a great outdoor venue which features nightly dancers/performers, good DJ music and too top it off dance floor in the middle of their ...

... a sanctuary right on the edge of town where you can go hang out with the macaque monkeys. They accost you before you even get into the sanctuary...I guess they don't realize there are boundaries around their territory...and Lisa has to give up her ice cream cone to a demanding monkey who is not about to be shaken off without some treat. Have you ever tried to shake a monkey off of you? With those four limbs and a tail...and a very ...

... most wonderful thing about this restaurant for two travelers weary of soggy fish and chips for $12 a plate was the prices! We had to check the prices a few times to make sure that we were not deceived that mains at this fancy restaurant were $3 and beers $1.30 (the combination of reverse sticker shock and the Indonesian Rupia being 10000 to the dollar was a dubbly whammy in currency conversion confusion). This level of value was to delight us for the entire time we were in ...
