travel blog: Bali


welcome to bali



 a balinese door

some big buddhas when you stroll around the city

don't be fooled by the rate. US$100 is only 900 000 Rupiah. no more no less

and don't read the news. the paper is really outdated like a month ago. unless you want to know something about history.

elephant temple

feeling lost? don't know where to go? just follow the direction wherever you want to be

wanna have some relaxing time?

or just stroll

and see some work of art

or do some shopping. doesn't she look familiar?

or go to your favorite thai resto

and order your favorite dish

just don't forget to pay the bill.. ciao

travel: KL n Bali preview

i haven't posted any pics yet from my recent trip but let me just give an overview based on my biasedopinion. so i went to KL (Malaysia) and Bali (Indonesia) and gone for 8 days.

when you visit a new place especially another country the first place you will set your foot on is the airport. KLIA is one of the best airport i've ever been to. Other good airports are in HK, Pudong and Beijing. KL-LCC is good as well and is quite better than NAIA. Now why is that? Even Denpasar Int'l Airport is way better than NAIA. I wonder. But we all know the answer. That's another story.

Traffic in KL is not as heavy as Manila. Roads are wider. The only thing i hate was the taxi drivers. taxis in KL usually do not run their meters. Instead they will ask you for a ridiculous amount. mostly but not all.

on the other hand bali is like another small province but very distinct because every structure shows a unique balinese architecture. from houses to gardens to temples. you name it they might have it. even the dancers are balinese. ha ha ha. i love bali already.
