Indonesia - Blogabond

Cheap, cheap. Look, look.

The rest of our time in Indonesia was pretty fantastic. At first, I wasn't sure I liked the place too much, but once again I left wishing I had more time. A little more background on Kuta: almost every street I walked down, I initially have the feeling that I shouldn't be there because it...

Back from Yogya!

Quick entry to let you all know that we are back from our 1-day jaunt to Yogyakarta ('Jogja' to the locals) after 2 amazing temples, 1 great art excursion, and enough C0 emissions to make us even more worried about the world's future! Yogya was a great contrast to Bali: very few other...

Happy Birthday to Me! ;)

Holy cow, it’s been a long time since I’ve “blogged”! At last… First, Happy Birthday to me! ;) Yes, today (the 31st) I turn the big 3-0. While I found that yesterday I was not all that enthusiastic about it being my “last day as a twenty-something”, today I am fine – no more aches and pains...

Oh boy it's warm!! REALLY warm!

Always knew I preferred cold to heat...must say that I was perfectly peachy in our 40-60's temps in Australia. Here in Bali, I'm trying not to melt; turns out I need to become one with the sweatier me. Especially hard as I try and dodge them fiesty mosquitos...Good times. :) I won't write too...

Let's Dancing Till We Drop

Bali is quite an experience so far. Amazingly hot (well, not as hot as humid, but it feels pretty hot . . . especially coming from 15 degree Melbourne--that's Celcius). I have been surprised by the combination of a developing country mixed with Western influence. It is apparent that the tourism...

Insights from Bali

Tourism is definitely a buyers market in Bali. The economy is still suffering from some bombings that occurred several years before but the experience in Bali is very safe- you have more to fear from traditional risks such as crazy drivers and aggressive vendors than from terrorism. Upshot is...

Slumming it in Kuta, Bali

Two separate groups of MBA’s are crossing paths in Bali: Kevin, Nathalie, Tiphanie and Irena in one group and Vivian, Jocelyn, and Carl in the other. I am staying with the latter group in Kuta, a slightly seedy backpacker district of Bali, consisting primarily of Australian surfers. Carl...

Welcome to Bali

Bali is exactly the bustling little paradise that you might imagine when you hear the name. It’s also a place that has yet to recover from the twin crises of Indonesia’s currency devaluation and terrorist bombings. This is unfortunate because the overall tourism levels haven’t recovered...
