Efter en kort flyvetur på 4 timer, ankom vi til Melbourne omkring kl. 9 om morgenen. I Melbourne havde vi hjemmefra booket et hostel og vi skulle derfor kun finde stedet. Uden de store problemer (vi var jo ved at være trænede i lufthavne) fandt vi en bus ind til byen og den leverede os lige til hoveddøren. Vi skulle bo på Nomads tæt på centrum og det passede os meget fint. Omkring kl. 11 havde vi nået hostellet og fået vores baggage opbevaret. Nu var vi voldsomt sultne. Vi havde ikke spist noget siden morgenmaden kl. 4 om morgenen i New Zealand, så vi gik ud og spiste morgenmad på en Café. Efter morgenmad gik vi på sightseeing i Melbourne. Vi kunne først tjekke ind kl. 14 og havde derfor rigeligt med tid. Timerne slipper ... read more

So much has happen since my travel to Loas back in 2009...which i forgot to finish and post back then. For those who dont already know, ive been living and working here in Bali Indonesia for almost 2 years. As always i've had my highs and lows but in all and all i am proud to say that i have achieve another goal in my life "LIVING AND WORKING ABROAD ..immersing myself with the locals and learning the language and culture ". The other day someone asked me where is my home?.. i said "here in Bali" Here have built a life completely from scratch, from not knowing anything about the country, or anyone, the language, culture, finding working, making friends and of course exploring and continuing to push boundaries and personal fears. I have been ... read more

Wow! I Can’t believe how much I have done since I last wrote. I did eventually move out of the crazy hotel with all the “ladyboys” as the locals call them, the screaming to each other just got too much. There were another couple of placed that I was interested in but they had both suffered from the incredible downpours we had and were not taking guests. I eventually found a place called the Samui Mermaid at Big Buddha beach – with a name like that I should have gone there in the first place, and it was lovely. I had a clean and tidy little cottage with T.V. and a fridge for just a couple of dollars more than the last place. Much better value. Two swimming pools, lots of places within walking distance, which ... read more

It's one helluva year as I start my new journey. OK, nobody really care about it, but everything goes right in this year as work gives me opportunities to see around. But the big (er little) Monster in the room is another new job which is a big game changer as it gets. We live only once, so let's live life to the fullest. Life, to coin a cliché, will never be the same. And it's daaaammmmnnn great thing. Now with 2010 still looming, stay tune for more adventures. Starting from Bali and ending who knows where...... read more

Where do I begin!!! This is what Wikipedia says. If you want more information go to the web site. www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyepi Observed from 6 a.m. until 6 a.m. the next morning, Nyepi is a day reserved for self-reflection and as such, anything that might interfere with that purpose is restricted. The main restrictions are: no lighting fires (and lights must be kept low); no working; no entertainment or pleasure; no traveling; and for some, no talking or eating at all. The effect of these prohibitions is that Bali’s usually bustling streets and roads are empty, there is little or no noise from TVs and radios, and few signs of activity are seen even inside homes. The only people to be seen outdoors are the Pecalang, traditional security men who patrol the streets to ensure the prohibitions are ... read more
