It's so hot here now - I haven't been to Bali in Nov before. We are drinking lots of bintang. Thinking of going to Ma Joly tonight. The BaliHai (where we are staying) is only 30% occupancy - so very quiet. Majority of German tourists. Went to Galleria today - not my thing. If I want a mall I can go when at home. Teenage kids didnt mind it though. And it's easier to go to Matahari there than face the one with the hawkers in Kuta Square. Did some shopping down Jalan Melasti - shopping 4 everyone else unfortunately. Don't you hate the way you get drawn in to shopping 4 others when in Bali. Tommorrow we are going to stay at the Aston in Tanjung Benoa. I plan to do nothing but sit by the pool.
Checked out Toms music store on Ngurah Rai bypass. Yamaha and Ibanez elec guitars only 1.5 mil rupiah. Seems to be about half Aussie prices. My son is in the market for his first one - upgrading from acoustic.
Learnt some new words - bahasa balinese -"sing ken ken" no worries.
