Ham Diaries Day1 SHR (Still Here Report)
# "Tommy", the airport taxi driver said his name was old Balinese for Tour Guide. Fuuny guy.
# Wandered for an hour through gangs between Pop1 and Pop2 looking for a room. All popular losmens full. Don't remember seeing this many people here before.
# Bargained hard for 8 week stay. After much eyebrow raising and feigned gasps of exasperation settled on fair deal. Both felt we had had a bit of a win. Way it should be.
# Neighbour is stunning sexy woman. Had quick chat. Plan? Impress her with shyness and or awkwardness. Foolproof!!
# Oh the joy. How something so simple can be sooo good. I want to be buried with a plate of mei goreng,no, I want to be buried IN a plate of mei goreng.
# Lazy evening wandering round streets occasionally dropping in for a beer and live music with a local or two who is still about from the last trip.
# Back to room for a read. Reading Hunter S Thompson Bio. Fell asleep to the mating calls of my resident gecko. I've named him Alvin
Thoughts: The memory of an experience is sometimes more rewarding than the experience itself. Must find new experiences in Kuta. Look for odd, interesting locals who are a bit eccentric.
Thought I would occasionally give an account of my daily expenes so anyone considering low budget travel to Kuta/Bali can have access to up to date numbers
