First of all, "Can I have some of what Jasmine's on?"
Jenni, as I've suggested a few times to those poor unfortunates who have either just returned or who have ages to wait, to get Bali-fied just sit in a Sauna with a diesel truck and someone smoking a Kretuk. You'll soon be whisked back to Jalan Legian or somewhere else in Bali. Just close your eyes and picture the lawns strewn with Frangipani blooms, the gaping holes in the footpaths, the omnipresent hawkers: perfume, 'silba', 'You buy watch??', "TRANSPORT!!", 'You come in my shop??... . you say you come in my shop yesterday, you come in my shop today!', Kites, aqua bottles, Bintangs, Arak!!, mangosteens, 'you want massage??', mangy dogs, trodden-on offerings, 'Tomorrow?????' etc etc. What else can I do? Are you even partly Bali-fied now? If you can wait, Jenni C, I'll give you a real dose when I get back and post my promised report. I hope it will be a good one.. . I've made enough fuss about the absence of them in the past!!
Save, save, save and you'll be back. Sell you body if you have to! You will get back. A fact of life is: When I'm back from mine.. your's will be yet to come.
Happy Travels
