Sorry cant answer your questions. Its been 32 years since I been to bali mandira . 3 young guys 18 years old never left aust before never even flown before landed in Denpasar june 1983 . Shared a room for 7 days at bali mandira. I pulled the old photo album out tonight to see the photos taken on a 35 mm FUJI slr what a blast . First night steak dinners some were on legian road with 3 beers each and banana pancakes less than $5 ea then we found a pub called golden pub (still got the photos )with a live band got drunk as 10 monkeys and still laugh at the indo accent on stair way to heaven :-)when we get together .I remember they sold emu export cans in the pool bar at mandira never seen emu export in bali since that first trip .690 rp to a aust dollar . draft bintang at Peanuts .frozen beer at" the pub "singlets that worked out at about $1.20 aussie . cheap dope at pink panther .magic mushrooms at yani,s. Apologies this post has no relevance to your question what so ever its just every time I hear bali mandira I think of that first trip. Done more than 30 since then after a while they all just seem to blend into one but that first trip is still clear in my mind
