Bali bali~

just been to Bali early April. Apologies this trip review comes before i complete my Prague and Budapest's. Will make it quick since Bali's an easy place to go :-)

Fly - Airasia. Hey, who knew they had humidifier in the cabin?



Stay - Mandala Desa Resort. Service's great, staff's nice, place's serene but a fit far from Ubud Central.



See - The typical Balinese rice fields. Though i thought it was not the best season to view one.



Visit - The Uluwatu temple for it's amazing sunset. The monkeys here are fiercer than those in the Ubud Sacred Monkey Forest. According to our tour guide it's because they are fed nuts, which induces the aggressive behaviour. Myth or fact? - I'd believe the locals.



Visit - the Ubud market for a good bargain. Don't be shy; this was my maiden bargain training ground. Starting off with 30% of the originally offered price would be good.



Visit - the Sacred Monkey Forest. Why not? If you are around the area. At least you can wear your spectacles here without fear of it being snatched away by the inhabitants of this forest.



Eat - Black Canyon Coffee if you are at Kuta's Discovery Shopping Mall. Not a Balinese franchise, but it was a great find.



Eat - Seafood by the beach! Take your time to pick the location where you wanna eat.



Drink - the Balinese Bintang Beer. Nice and cooling for the weather here.



Go - Beaches (the Dreamland Beach to be exact). Jimbaran Bay and Kuta beach are not as clean - and it's much more touristy.



What can i say? Can you read the words on the tees?
