In Reply to: Suyet's Bar posted by JMG_Perth on Friday, 7. January 2005 at 13:41 Bali Time:
Suyet's bar is still there - I was there in August and September and it was doing pretty well. Rudy was doing most of the work as Suyet had to go back to his farm in Java for a week or so while we were there. Apparently he is going back home more and more now. I had the pleasure of meeting his wife though, and Rudy's sister, who were visiting from Java at the time. They were both really nice (although neither spoke any English).
This is the first time I have heard of anyone on this forum that has been to Suyet's bar so it is quite nice to know that someone else likes to have a bintang and a chat with Rudy at sunset! I have known Suyet and Rudy since our first visit 3 years ago and spend a bit of time with Rudy whenever I'm over from the UK. His motorbike skills are pretty hairy, but he is fine apart from that!
Anyway, Rudy emails me quite frequently, and last week I had one saying that he had just returned from a trip to Java himself, but was back in Bali now, so the bar will be up and running. He did say that it is pretty rainy at the moment though so quite boring for them on the beach (not much custom from the sounds of it either, which isn't too good for them). Hopefully it will have picked up a bit by the time you go.
Anyway, would you do me a favour, and if you go to the bar then tell Suyet and Rudy I said hello? They know me as Cammy. If you could tell them I send my love and hope to see them later in the year that would be fantastic.
Have a great time in Bali... Let us know how your trip went.
