Day 1
After months of waiting the day to Bali has finally came. Took AA flight from sg to denpasar. Got a excited as this was my 1st trip to Bali,though flight was delayed for about 45 mins..DAmn IT!!..off to Bali...wooohooo!
Upon arrival at Denpasar airport at 2000hrs, i went looking for the taxi booth...Ahh! there it is. Since I was travelling solo my eyes actively "preyed" on solo travellers,thinking of sharing taxi to kuta. I saw this man asking for transport from the transport touts and as usual they offered high price for their services. The man looks furious and agitated and half drunk too( i guess..hahah) So went to him and asked him nicely if he would like to share a taxi. To my horror went berserk and he yelled at me "I want to travel alone and want to go to kuta beach to find hotel!!!" ...Whoa!! Chill dude!I just left him alone..On hindsight he must have thought that i was a tout too cos i looked local..This is crazy! so when to take my taxi ALONE and FIND my hotel....
Lost in the Kuta Jungle
Told the taxi driver I was going to Tunjung Bali Inn off Poppies 2. Drop off in poppies 2 and ask the counter for room availability....ROOM FULL! Damn it!..I was quite cool with this 'rejection' as I had prepared a list of other places to stay and confidently tried to find those palces equipped with my map.. I was SOOOO wrong...the map only provided a general direction of the places, the gangs and roads were badly litted and that makes finding those places even more harder. I'm officially LOST! After numerous rounds of the gangs and 3 hrs later managed to find the places but all FULLY BOOKED!! DAMN IT!!! ..By this time I was panicking. I am tired and tried asking random losmens for availability. Finally found 1 at LA inn however room and toilet condition was horrendous by my basic standard. I had to sleep on a mattress without a bed frame and the room even with the light on looked gloomy. The guy who offered me this rooms even have the cheek to ask me for 150k rp for this room...I told him No will only take it for 70k furthermore its already almost 12am and I need to checkout by 10am...He agreed.
Can't wait to look for a new hotel in the morning...sigh...
That's all for today will update u guys with my remaining Bali adventures......
