I prefer by far the laneway between TJ's & Jl Pantai to the Un's lane, which is noisy & has a constant stream of motorcycles. There isn't much doggy doo now that there are fewer doggies around - more noticeable are rubber detritus from humans. I just step over nasties - no biggie.
Besides, the scent of the frangipani blossoms falling into the lane from the Balinese compounds which line the gang compensates, as does the lack of traffic.
I take the TJ's lane route any & every time I need to go in that direction & that's often. I like the quiet punctuated by sounds from the Balinese homes behind the walls lining the gang. It's amazing that in the middle of Kuta, behind the hassling & shops, Balinese live in their compounds & I often stop to listen to children playing, Mums chastising them &, in general, normal life happening.
