Bali II then back to BK

Sanur beach:
Not as nice a beach as Kuta, but a quite tranquil place of you wanna hang out and not get pounded by surf. There is a reef off shore that breaks the waves and a restaurant right on the beach... a mere 20 min of death defying scooter ride from Kuta beach:

Griller snapper - while not bad, Bali food sucks compared to Thai food. This is why I think mainly Aussies go here the rest of Asia hates the food...

You may have heard about the "redshirt" protest in Bangkok..you can hear them chanting in the afternoon from the hotel pool.


Back in TO in 3 days....!!

Bali.....

Ok getting to the end of my trip now..I am actually in Bangkok writing this update, in 4 days I will be back in Toronto...hard to imagine. Bali is a pretty big island. I was there 9 days, I saw a bit of it...it was fun, it was cheap, the food sucks compared to Thailand... you can live nicely in Bali for about $700/month... but then again I just ate dinner in BK (a light dinner...3 skewers of grilled chicken and some dessert..) for about $1.20....lol

This is volcano in Bali (didn't know there was one... but there you go..) :)


Last pic shows the lava fields...they actually turn that into sand and use it in construction....


Terraced rice fields:



Ok enough scenery :


this is how the night started:



then came the Red Bull Vodkas...:


BTW these are some people I met at the hotel....


Then to Sky Garden.. close to the Bali bombing... and some pretty insane clubs...:

A fire show in a club.. I remember thinking this was not a good idea... and I was drunk!!:



Get out of my way you stupid tourist!!!:


I suspect this lady was more then a dancer:



These girls gave us free blow jobs.. .(shooters) lol:

enough for now I am tired and the upload speed is slow.


Ok a few more pix of the club:



Now on to some non club shots of Bali - next post...:

More scenes from Perth...

Finish up the Perth thingy.. could not get the GPS tagging to work in perth so no GPS tagged pix...bummer.

Snorkelling of the beach in Perth...was a bit wavy, but still pretty good. On a calm day it would be pretty nice:



Dinner at Lisas house:



Motown concert in wine country:

Ok I got hammered...there was a nasty smell emanating from the surroundings so I had no choice but to drink.....












The next day I was hung over but want jet skiiing on the Swan river with James ,Tracy and Taryn...



Last pic of an Australian sunset before I headed to Bali...unfortunately through a window, but it was still al lovely sunset:

Perth... some relative pix here.

Aunty Ellie and Stewart


Mullaloo Beach

This beach is about 15 minutes from Lisas house. Beaches in Perth are beautiful, water was awesome it was HOT!! (about 37-41 degrees). There is a shark patrol helicopter that passes over every hour or so...very reassuring.



Evening out with Tracy and James can you believe my cousin Trace is 46!!! Amazing!! She looks awesome.
Will add more under Perth II later...

nostalgic landmarks from our past:

94 Upper East Coast effin ROAD!!! Still the same building..!!!




This is the side of the building where Grandy used to park his car. The garage is gone, but I think the mango tree in the background (not the one in front) is the very same one U. Rod use to climb to get mangos while being eaten alive by red ants!!!

The end of the street towards Singhas house:



This is the road near "Mary's hill" and the old reclaimed land:

you can see what used to be the reclaimed land in the background:

This is where we used to fly kites and slide down the hill on cardboard:

#22 Jalan Limau effin MANIS!!
