Back from Bali

ooh alliteration. unintentionally tho... really. :)

Bali was fun. sort of. lots of time was spent sitting in the car because we ended up seeing the whole of Bali island (almost). and i had a headace for 4 out of 5 days we were there. it was so stupid. anyway... i cant think of how to make this interesting and im also kinda lazy so ill write a list

I...
-went surfing and bodyboarding. woke up the next day with every muscle in my body aching. but it was worth it. surfing is fun. i wanna go again some other time...
-saw a volcano. dormant. but it was beautiful!
-was up on one of the mountains sides and all of a sudden there was water. for a second or two i thought it was the sea. aha. but they were lakes. and it was pretty cool. we couldnt see very far since the fog was so thick. and it was cold... actually it was hardly ever warm the whole time we were in bali.
-went to a waterfall and was followed around by kids trying to sell us necklaces and stuff and ended up buying some cuz they were only 1000rupiah each which is about 20cents in spore...
-saw temples. but it rained, so didnt see much of it.
-saw silver smithing
-saw how they made their coffee and cocoa
-saw woodcarving
-went shopping and had to do lots of bargaining which i suck at.
-ate a lot: buffet breakfast everyday and nice restaurant meals...
-had an outdoor bathroom in one resort. very nice but a bit scary cuz the villa was next to a river and sorta foresty area so thers lots of insects. there was insects in the room and on our bed constantly... i was kindof glad when we checked out of there even though that was the more expensive resort...
-got a bruise from trying to get into the room cuz the door had a praying mantis on it so i sorta dashed in and i hit the door really hard.. cuz i missed (stupid...) and ta-da! bruise...
-was followed and begged by people to buy their stuff as souvenirs. they crowded around us so much it was hard to close the car door.
-got lots of mosquito bites
-saw monkeys and got a bit worried about them stealing our stuff
-got a henna tattoo on myback. i love it.. i might put a pic up... :)

thats all i can thin kof for now. but it was a lot done in 5 days...

im going to msia tmrw morning. v early.... will be back on friday or saturday. i dont really wanna go. theres nothing to do there. and i cant drive so im basically stuck at wherever i am until someone can drive me somewhere. i like spore cuz u can just take the bus/mrt anywhere.
see u guys whoever is in spore when i get back again.
