... much of a mom she was for us. Her tears moved me and only proved to me even more how much of a classy lady she is. She definitely will not be forgotten in my mind.

So that's how this Balinese story ends. A climb up a mountain and a few moments being homeless. But that's how life is and how Bali was for us all around. Inspiration mixed in with adversity. Bali in the end could be compared with life in general and I am very grateful for having the opportunity to experience ...

... me that I enjoyed it for that sake and marveled at its sight. We finally got back home and it felt wonderful to feel back. It always feels great to come back home after a busy weekend, even if I was only gone for a couple days. The best thing that day was that I got a phone call from Julia! She was being hilarious on the phone and we just loved talking to one another again! We were talking about everything and anything and the most exciting ...

... be staying in a very dirty orphanage, definitely not more clean that our house that was cleaned three times a week. And then, another hilarious thing happened... One of the Klungkung girls called us later when they found out that Ellen was transferring to stay with them, and all they said was how ****** they were for her coming to stay with them because they too could not stand her! The other girls even called the program coordinator why Ellen was going to stay ...

... Mary and I, in our 20s (I can claim this for another year or so at least!), did not find it as thrilling. There were some rather smallish public gardens in the airport (do not visit the bamboo forest, it is totally overhyped), but there was free internet and free foot massages. We saw this surfer (who had spent the night in the airport to avoid the expensive Singapore hostels) with his feet in an electric foot massager and had to try it out for ourselves ...

... nice sculptures and paintings on the wall - and was thinking that this has got to be a first, in a hotel: an art gallery? ...then I hear a toilet flush, sorry TMI, but yes, thats how nice the toilets are here. Wouldn't mind spending an afternoon there. Not sure how Ravneet would feel about that though. Rest all is well. Nice beach here, the usual: sun, fun, water and T&A. (In no specific order). This is the best ...

Day by day: April 1st, Tuesday - around Sanur, meeting the people April 2nd, Wednesday - Our little posse took a day trip to Bangli (saw a large Hindu temple) then on to Lake Batur for lunch. After lunch we went to Celuk, the gold and silver village. Later I found out I was a poor bargainer. I didn't have my facts (like the price of silver) so I was doomed to failure. I found out I did indeed pay too much. Oh, well, lesson learned and gifts ...

... to do a day trip instead). I mentioned to Ray that I really wanted to get one of the $5 foot massages at the convience store (don't ask me why). Ray wasn't too keen on the idea as he did not want to sit and wait for me as the grocery store smelled of Durian (for those who don't know what this fruit is, the smell is absolutely foul and is banned in many hotels in Asia). So Ray suggested we get massages again tonight at the same ...

... of communication for deaf and hearing people. Somehow, deaf people in Desa Kolok do not face the stigma that deaf people face elsewhere in Bali, and they have become equal members of the community. On Friday evening, after eating with Connie, about fifteen deaf people came, and it was really interesting to watch them communicate using Kata Kolok. I was not able to communicate with them very successfully, as Kata Kolok is not based ...

... pour Yogyakarta, ville culturelle par excellence de l'Indonésie. Là, j'ai visité l'imposant temple de Borobudur, ai gravi l'un des volcans les plus actifs du pays, ai manqué le temple de Prembanan et ai assisté à une partie du fabuleux "Ramayana Ballet". Cette énumération nécessite des précisions... Je suis d'abord arrivé "en ville" après une nuit pratiquement sans sommeil en train (plus de 8h) vers 6h, me suis trouvé une chambre et grosso modo me repose le reste de la ...
