Wina Hotel Kuta

... a hunched figure, carried various items of jewellery and was sporting a large pink sun hat. Appropriately I immediately named her Granny Beach Tat. This particular granny asked if I wanted any beads or bracelets or necklaces. I didn't. She didn't appreciate this answer, and started to plead with me to purchase five item, assuring me she'd give me "Bloody good price, because you look like my son." This was evidently some kind of attempt at an emotive statement, a ploy to make me ...

... of which piles of it are left out all day to dry, stank like a dead dogs bumhole. Anyway, we decided to take a long walk around the island which is like our new thing, we walk bloody everywhere, we're like the *******n Littlest Hobo. Then in the evening we chilled and grabbed some tuck. Next day we were up early to do some diving, first dive of the day was to see Manta Rays, the big buggers. We saw one big daddy and it was wicked, though the water ...

... Zustand, teilweise v**lassen, dreckig und h**unt**gekommen, mit dreckigen Kanälen und Unrat üb**all. Leid** ist das keine Ausnahme. Die Indonesi** können sich mit den Filipinos um die Asienmeist**schaft streiten, in d** Abteilung 'schlecht planen, mies bauen, schnell v**rotten lassen'. Wohnte ich hi**, würde ich sofort einen Denkmalschutzv**ein gründen, v**suchen den alten K**n dies** quirligen Stadt sinnvoll wied**zubeleben und mit einem indonesischen Orden auf d** Brust st**ben.

... the main streets and little Gangs (alleys), risking life and limb playing with the Scooters and Cars whizzing by inches away. But I found the same thing - Bintang T-Shirts (the local Beer); car bumper stickers aimed at the millions of Aussies who come here every year ("I Love to Root Fat Chicks", "Up the Bum, No Babies", "**** of the ****" etc; and lots and lots of fake stuff. None of it great, but at least there is no denying what it is ...

... Hindu gods. Sunset is supposed to be amazing here but the clouds decided we would not get to see it. We also played with the cutest (apart from tehya) puppies on the world & followed a red, a yellow & a green chicken. Culture at its best.... That night we partied *************nie, Tom & Ollie as it is there last night. Shame to see them go, but its off to Fiji with them. So tonight is our last night in Bali. Off to Bangkok tomorrow, Thailand here we come!!!

... we partied until 5am. In other words, until the DJ said, "This is the last song for tonight". Fahmi enjoyed it as much as I did. People didn't bother at all on anything. Nobody cared on what you're wearing, who is dancing with who, or even if you're making out in one corner (which happened). As we were walking back to the hotel, a hooker said, "Hey sexy boy!!" :) It was such a lousy pick-up line.. I'll give our Bali trip 4 out of 5... except for the money we spent for shopping..

... cracking each other up. It was easy to do since we were the only ones there with the exception of two dogs I think lived in the bar. Eventually a kid from France joined us and he was mad about us being Americans. Something about how the US never paid France for the Louisiana purchase? Kat took offense to being called a 200 year old deadbeat and was fueled with enough vodka and redbull to launch a rocket. After a mild ruckus everyone calmed down and ...

... football fans now. Last night I set an alarm and we woke up at 2:30 a.m., walked through the darkened hotel grounds to the "security office", which is a small room with a regular TV, one battered chair, and a few boxes. The television gets six channels, one of which was broadcasting the Champion's League semi-final between Manchester United and Barcelona. The nightime security guy, whose ...

... there arms in unison and struck incredible rhythm and syncopation with the sound 'cek'. It would take a better man than me to do justice to this spectacle with word alone. Just take our word for it, if you are ever in Ubud and get a chance to see the "cek cek cek" dancers, make sure you do.
