One day we went white water rafting, When we 1st arrived at the place they fitted our safety vests and one of the balinese says to my hubby too much Bintang jovially as he pointed to his tummy and then he turns to my cous and says ooh baby?. only the balinese can get away with this hummer.
My cousin tried to ask did they sell rafting tshirts but said "do you have tshirts"? well it was so funny the guy took the tshirt off his back and gave it to him, he wasnt trying to be funny he was serious, probably a bit confused as to why he would want his shirt.
The cousin is very unfit and carrying quiet a bit of weight, but was really looking forward to the white water rafting trip I had told him about (and after all my hubby had done it on a previous trip he too is king kong size and unfit) and when he began to get worried about the mention of a couple of hundred steps,I laughed it off and said youll be right.
well at the end came the steps and I felt so bad, the cousin was huffing and puffing slowly up the steps and even the boat guy was worried about him and stayed with him the whole time stopping when he stopped, he was so good. I must admit it was foolish he could have had a heart attack.
Over lunch they decided it was time to get fit for next time.
we had a great time with lots of laughs down the river,water fights and a few nudey sightings as well.
They put my hubby and cous in one boat and my 2 boys and I in the other, well the boat guy we had was so hot and when we stopped for a break and had to get out of the boats, I lost my stepping and couldnt get up, my hubby just stood there and laughed at me getting dragged by the current, but my hot boaty came to my rescue and reached out for me well I thought this is good and grabbed hold of him back and then hubby realises its abit more of a concern than he thought and went to help, but I said no no I'm right, really.
During our trip my 15yr old son gets lots of stares from the balinese girls, patting their hearts as he walked past and even proposals from their grandmothers.
One women proposed one day on her daughters behalf and my son having always being one of those trying childs, I laughed to myself and I said yes that is all right with us, but that they would have to live here, she said yes that would be alright and then I said and you have to take him now as we are flying out tonight. we all laughed.
I had my foils done at Happys salon, they are so nice there and cheap too. I also thought I would go the whole hog and have full leg waxes until they pulled out the thick yellow wax and cloth strips and the after one pull of the cloth, I quickly changed my mind to half legs. while I was in there behind the curtain my cousin was getting a massage, so I'm laying there grasping with the pain when I hear the lady say to him "you strong", well the ears pricked up. and then we had a good laugh when outside we swapped notes and he said he was confused as well till a couple seconds later he realised she was asking do you like the massage strong, how funny.
One night the guys were watching footy and so I decided to go to the melasti next door to the bar to have a back massage, the boys came along and I was going to shout them one but when they could only do 2 the 15yr old said he would forgo and so the 13yr and I went into the same room anyway we were laying there getting our massages very relaxed with the tranquil music etc when though the door bursts 15yr old with a loud grrrr ( I told you he was one of those kids, out of the box) well the 2 girls nearly jumped though the roof and I nearly crawled into a invisable ball.
After the massage the hubby asked the 13yr old how the massage was and his reply was " well I'm not really one for massages but that was fantastic". and it was. I always promise myself more massages and reflexologys but never seem to have the time.
hope I'm not boring you will try and remember some more later.
