BALI BALI BALI!!!

5:49PM on 4 June 2004

Arrived in Bali yesterday afternoon following an uneventful 1 night layover in Bangkok. All of this following an eventful last night in Korea that lasted til 5:30AM leaving only a mere hour for sleep, meaning that I slept two and had to scramble to make it to the airport in time. But thats probably a fitting enough way to leave Korea.

Sorted out a hotel for $15, all i got for this is two beds, AC, full bath, pool front patio, and 10 foot trek to the swimming pool. So no complaints. Out for a few drinks last night with my mate from korea Wardy and his mate from Ireland. Ended up driving by the site of the terrorist bombing from Oct 02 and the memorial set up. Lots of reminders of that day from T-shirts say F@%# terrorist to pictures up in the establishments.

Went out for my first surf today. Caught some breaks --- right in the face. Managed to get up for a few quick ones, but nothing spectacular. The beach is nice enough, except ya can't go 1 minute or 10 feet without being hassled to buy something - any usually a worthless something at that.

Will be off to a remote island in a few days to find the real relaxation away from it all.
