for at least a year thus 1 pair of flip flops 1 pair of runners/sneakers/trainers for my b/f (i have 3 pairs of sandals&1 pair of runners but only ever wear 1 pair of sandals all the time!..its plenty :) dont have much clothes either its amazing how small a suitcase is when you have to pack a years worth of clothes in esp if you are trying to cover colder climates!
and PLEASE dont think im blaming the javanese- it would think me dispicable too if you thought that!!! I just repeated what the balinese guy said to us!!! coz we asked could he translate for us and he said no they dont speak balinese they're from java - god i have no opinion whatsoever on anyone no matter where they are from - everyone is equal in my eyes! it really upset me when we were talking to a fisherman who couldnt speak much english in amed- all he kept saying was dark skin no good white skin good- drives me crazy/makes me very sad that society has lead them to think this way :(
