Sorry! I hope this is not too late... If you go to the Kinky Raggae bar and ask for Tuncas he will take you out for 2 dives a day for $50. Everyone in Padang Bay knows him.
Diving Could you email me the contact information for the dive guide you used in Bali? I'll be heading there tomorrow for a week and would like to dive with someone cheap and willing to do 1-3 person/dive. Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Jesse
Survived? A whale shark could Gum you to death at best as they are plankton eaters... It could however have given me a nasty bump as it was 8 meters long and very friendly.
I know... I saw ot all ready. The company teaches and condones the behaivoir unless you get caught of course...then they hang you out to dry! I only hope CNN digs further and does some more investigating...
Hey Steve and Cindy
Can't believe you guys are still on holiday. Steve, just for fun, you need to go to CNN dot com, search Clayton Snow. Tell me what you think? LOL
Have a good time

once more I think I have done something wrong - it is not so easy with all these electronic things!!!
Just to correct: I want to be grandma but my kids are too young (27+29). But here in Padangbai I am Grandma for the 3-years-old son of a friend and for the young people I am Mama. It is nice. So thanks for the flowers Stephen and Sindy!
Diving around Padangbai is really nice. The mentioned Dive Guide TANKAS (correct spelling) is really excellent. My husband and me are going with him all the time.
If you are coming to Bali visit this little village in the east (ferries to Lombok are leaving here). The locals are friendly and nice. They have a close connection to their culture and religion, you will find ceremonies here and feel a spirit.
Love Hella (not grandma but mama)
oh, oh thanks for the flowers. I want to be grandma but my kids are too young for it (27 + 29). So I have adopted some little children here in Padangbai and I am Grandma for them (Arik, 3-years old son of a friend). For the young people here I am Mama! It is nice and I really can recommend this little village Padangbai in the east of Bali. The locals are friendly and very strong connected to her culture and religion. Just some minutes ago Komang Rasta has explained some strange things about spirits to me.
Come and see all the people!
Love Hella (not grandma but mama)
name of dive guide If somebody is coming to Padangbai, the correct spelling of the dive guide is TANKAS. He is really an excellent guide! My husband and me are always going diving with him.
Plans? Hello,
did you get my email? I am still waiting for answer and Kleiner is asking every day if you have answered or not.
Have a lot of fun in Malaysia!
Best regards from Padangbai

Ha Very cool ... Have fun learning to Dive and forget about the diving movie where they were forgotten by the guy on the boat, never really happens, really almost never.
LOL
Computer Cafe? So how are you making all these posts?
I assume your not carrying around a laptop are you just using internet cafes?
Very cool, sorry to hear about the lack of garbage control that is one of those easy ones to get right.
Reply to: Dog food Biz The store is going great Jojo and our dogs are usually there meeting and greeting other Pet lovers. It has been open almost 2 months now and is just starting to cover all of its own costs. Thats better than we could have hoped for.
http://www.growlies.ca is the URL if you want to see the logo. This page is just the start I will get something better up soon.
Keep posting comments and pics on your trip. We spent all our trip money on the store.

Just left Debbie's Barry,
I wish we had got this earlier. We just left Debbie's about two minutes ago.....and we are leaving tomorrow morning early for Lipe island. However we will return and did meet many good people. If your back this way we suggest going for awesome Thai food go to Cenang Resthouse and ask for Michael (server/hustler/niceguy) he will know Steve and Sindy from Canada. He is a good man but wanted to come home in our suitcase. Stay in touch we thank you again for turning us onto this place, our anniversary was great!
Steve and Sindy
Mike U, told me about this blog r u still in Langkawi? Hi Guys. Looks like you're having great time on my Island eh?
If you are still up there and happen to go to these places say hello to a few friends of ours from myself and my Wife Syakiella.
Beach Garden resort - Wolfgang(Germ)
Irish Pub - Debbie (MY), Oasis beach side pub - Jackie(MY) and any of the staff, Offshore pub - Peter (UK), you should try and stop by Tammy's place (laternite pub) she is from Calgary, just down and around the corner from aseania beside a short strip of restaurants...
Other places to go....for a beer of course...the Raggae bar (good band), Aseania resort just down and across fm Aquariam...go in back to the pool bar..have a beer or two and jump in..they also have a water slide.
Nice meeting you in KL and hope you enjoy your trip on Langkawi....
Barry (Canadian xpat...la)
DOH! x2 It sounds like we were in the same places at the same time! We did both! Liked little India but we found Santosa way too touristy.....think you prob did to. Nice beach there but stupid prices. I found Singapore lacked a little for culture but the food was great. You have to get to Malaysia if you get the chance, the people and beaches and culture here are fantastic. We are off to Vietnam (Hanoi/Ha long) first then work our way down to Ho chi mihn and phucok island. Do you have anything to recommend?
Singapore Hey Steve and Sind, We were in Singapore all day Feb 14th and all day 15th.
You should have let me know and we could have met up in little India or Santosa...oh well.
Maybe next time.
My wife Sindy and I are going traveling for about 4 months starting in Hong Kong for Chinese New Year. We have only booked the flight and hotel in Hong Kong so far and plan to book the rest as we go. The plan as it is now will take us from Hong Kong to Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, India (Goa), Turkey. From there we want to go to Egypt and may go through Greece or Syria, Jordan and Israel. We are also considering carrying on to Tunisia and Morocco but will be checking the travel advisor first. If we still have time and money Spain and Portugal would be nice. Wish us l... full info
