Saturday night our driver turned left off Jl Legian up near Ketaput somewhere to try to avoid the traffic jam. He took us down a series of small streets that amazed me. I didn't know this area existed but it consisted of homes, small shops for locals and there were people sitting around in groups chatting, kids playing on the streets, teenagers just wandering along. It was like the Kuta I remember from my first visit in 1981 and that I thought didn't exist anymore. Looked pretty real to me
