BALI BABY ;)

So after i came back from Cambodia, I had one week before Recess Week (locals study - exchangers travel surprise surprise!). I celebrated by birthday by dining in ODP, Open Door Policy, a well known restaurant in SG. I never knew I love watercress soup, but after that I sure did! Next up came the weekend with the Formula 1 races -suuuper cool! After an amazing weekend chilling at Marina Bay Sands infinity pool (google it) and the Singapore GP came the time for Bali! (We are still in september)

My week in paradise started with us, seven girls, getting comfortable in our villa in Seminyak - and yes, I am aware it is never a good idea to put 7 girls in on house for a week.. :D I am a pasta lover. In Singapore pasta is expensive. So the first thing I did was ate pasta ( heavennnnnn!!!). The days to come we spent chilling at the beach (again remember to bargain!), surfing and exploring Bali. Our favorite spot on the beach was in front of Anantara hotel; they had free wifi and it was convenient to use their luxury bathrooms during the day. :P

One day the owner of our villa J, took us to Rock bar, almost a must do in Bali. The former Carl Ritz, now Ayana Resort houses one of the coolest bars in Asia. It is build under a cliff, so as you sip your cocktail you'll see the waves break just in front of you. Also the sunset view in something people staying all around the island come to see. As you might guess, it is extremely expensive compared to Indonesian price level, but totally worth it if you go for a drink or two. The minus part was the customer service in my opinion - so don't expect them to know how to be too professional, they don't sometimes know how to use their own head. Of course their are some staff with a bit of brain activity too ;).

On our last night, we went to dine at Jimbaran, a long beach full of restaurants side by side actually on the beach. They serve outrageously good seafood - and the price is good too! So the last night we spent relaxing eating well and drinking balinese wine. I thought I would never say this, but balinese wine is actually GOOD! (!!!!!!)

And one last thing! Do your shopping at Kuta, for Seminyak is overpriced.
