bali - day 2

We had been woken up by the fresh smell of the sea. We had breakfast at 9 and planning to walk on the street of Legian and Kuta for the day. The weather seems to have its own way of showing welcome, it was as hot as we expected.

The first thing we’ve noticed about Bali was that their tourism was not as bad as what people said in the News. Though, not as much as before the incident on Paddi’s bar two years ago. It was said that Bali was nearly empty for a couple of months, and people who works in the city had to go back to their village, back to do some farms work.

We had lunch at Kuta’s famous place called Warung Made’s. As we had our lunch, we were discussing about a women who was sitting near us, at the same table with a couple of Australian tourist. This woman was wearing kinda traditional and old fashion clothing, she has Indonesian face, but when she spoke, she sounds like she was American. After half an hour, 2 of her friends came by, another Indonesian woman with an old white man. As they were chatting and making a small talk, I can’t keep myself smiling when I heard her saying that the white man had a face of an Indonesian. How can a white man look like an Indonesian? Then I thought, maybe she was trying to make that man happy, cause from the minute he arrived, he was trying very hard to speak Indonesian.

Anywho..after a long lunch and a couple glass of ice cold lemon tea. We continue our walking for another hour and then hit back to the hotel.

When we were just playing lazy in our room, my love was watching lord of the ring on tv and i was reading a girly novel (4 blondes), we were shocked by the sound of wall cracking. First we thought there was some renovation going on next door, but when another crack came, i looked down on the floor, there was a line of cracked from the balcony to the tv stand. Not long after my dear called for an engineer to check up our room, we were transfered to another room which is closer to the pool and was upgraded to suite room (after i said i don't want to move when they offered to move us to the same grade room but with twin bed..DooOHH!)
