Hi all

just got back from 2 weeks in Kuta

Au$ between 7200 and 7430

weather first week was great, last week was lousy with lotttttts of rain

BIG increases in booze prices since October 08, even the local gin is now expensive...180,000 in Matahari

Tried to get a Smartphone (mentioned in BTF a few weeks ago) phone shop in front of Bintang s/market did not have any and knew nothing about them, carrefour had 2 salesmen and no stock for the last 3 weeks !!!!...they were verrrrrry busy..????

Many hotels have put their prices up by up to 50%, I met some people looking for different hotels as theirs was now too expensive, many service charges have gone up from 5% to 6%

Lots of Russians around bragging about how wealthy they were, quite a few French and a few northern Europeans, not many Aussies around.

Heaps of massage sellers on Legian st ...must be the in thing at present

roads and pavements in bad repair due to rains

Beaches and seas at Kuta and Gilis very dirty

Tidak apa apa

back again in late March, i hope the weather improves
