We don't like being up so far though....its great when we want to get up to Jalan 66 and Bintang supermarket...but we love to eat in poppies 1 and browse Kuta square and when it's local holidays...the traffic is a nightmare.

... it is progress. For so many years, I have been disheartened by the lack of outrage and I am glad to see people finally speaking up and trying to make a change.
