So I get to Ubud, welcomed in by Darta's family. Hostels are pretty non-existent here…the place to stay is at a HOMESTAY which means youre living within the compound of a family.  The home of a Hindu family is far from just one ...

... marked like back home. Nevertheless, I arrived in Ubud in the evening and I was lucky to find a room since almost every hostels or hotels were full. I walked to the main road and asked questions to shop owners and random people because I wanted to get ...

... higher up above sea level, with a bit more character than Kuta, being peppered with Temples almost every third building. Half of the hostels seem to be converted temples, including our one. One of the main features there is the Monkey Forest, so we headed ...

... ! Friends that have traveled through Asia have warned me about it being a bit different on meeting people due to the lack of hostels. Usually once you enter a dorm you make 4, 6, 24 friends for life (or that weekend) but in guesthouses you actually have ...

... like mold. It cost 200,000 per night (about $22) and was very comfortable. It was quite a change from living in hostels; I had my own bathroom, a queen sized bed and air conditioning. After wandering the streets of Kuta and getting hassled by every single ...

... sure we had plenty to see us through the evening/next day, not to mention various snacks, dips and crisps. Like with many hotels/hostels in Asia and Indonesia, it's cheaper to buy pre-cooked food than make your own which was fine by me! We started ...
