The rice fields started just north of Legian. No restaurants open at night, no shops, had to catch a bemo down to Kuta to eat. The place was deserted at night, quiet walks along the middle of jalan Legian back to Legian after 10pm.
There was a nice grass track from our losmen down through the palm fields to the beach. Everything was so quiet and bucolic, we could never imagine why anyone stayed down in the concrete jungle of Kuta.
We ended up staying in Bali for 8 months.
