Memorable Quote of the day
Maybe it was an accident, Maybe it fell apart on its own Ok took long enough, but for those of you interested in my trip overseas i've decided to write a sorta journal or perhaps dot points for all the exciting or odd parts.. (prolly get lazy n go for dot points)
----------------------------------
Sydney + Plane*Ok my plane flight was on the way and i was in the process of checking in however I forgot to weigh my bag and wasn't sure how much 20kg check in felt like, very nervous since my country road carry on was already full
*Talked to a lot of Aussies going to Bali who all go for surfing (large majority anyways) hearing all their stories makes me want to surf.. particularly the one where this 40yr old single man who is a wealthy contractor goes to every remotely surf-able place in the world every year.. Fiji.. America.. japan.. where there is a wave he surfs it
*Flight was Jet star, everything was sooo gay since it was cheap, even had to pay for food
*Had this asshole guy next to me, I'd say Hello and he'd mumble at me and wave his hand showing he cant be fucked, then the stewardess offers him a drink and i hear him talking very clearly and articulately. (Stole your head phones bitch)
*Looked at all the flight stewardess's and their really pretty fully floral uniforms~ Who kept on speaking to me in Indonesian cuz apparently i look like a local~
Bali*My arrival to Bali was long.. so many people there applying for visa's and myself among them.. had to of been in line for like.. 30mins or so waiting to apply for my 30 days visa (which i only used for abit over a week I paid with rupia! FTW! love fucked up economies! little money gives so much value and i was secretly loaded XD (with access to the commonwealth bank! lol GG)
*As soon as i got out and finally got all my shit into gear I went to pick up my check in luggage and i saw it there laying on the ground YAY then this indo guy in his 40's or 50's comes and grabs it and offers to help me~ i thought it was very kind of him so to be a generous individual i decided u have to be equally open to receiving~ so yay fella helped me~ But then as we got out his like.. money money? do you ahve this? *shows a aussie $5, Im like WTF? g fucking g nigger! so i decided i'd pay him with something.. cuz he was being a dick and not leaving me alone n shit.. prolly fkn take my luggage n run~ so i gave him 50k rupia~ and his like... noo not enough please give more~ then i got angry and insulted him and he realized i knew the value of the money there and left me alone, wat a fucking cock~ hope your daughters get impregnated by a group of angry monekys
*When i got out i was to find my buddys driver "Kote" I found the fella and he told me hans will come late so i would be driven to his families hotel first and hans would come after~ So we drove and I experienced bali traffic as a passenger it was fucked up.. ill tell u more in a moment
*there seemed to be no sign of speed limits.. like there was.. i faintly saw it.. but everyone just drives as fast as possible XD and bastards stop infront of u to buy drinks n shit~ like wtf u cock slapper! its a fuckign high way move yo ass! so this makes my driver drive on the opposite side of the road.. i swear since he did it afew times it seemed normal~ lol shit. sometimes the car coming in front would be like no more than 10m away when his actually turning out~ a narrow miss
*WTF is with the dogs in Bali? i see stray dogs everywhere.. its like they live there as residents or sum shit~ there aint no animal services or animal pound or anything they just roam everywhere.. even on the high ways XD i say to kote~ "Oi!! that's a dog!" and he'd look at me o.O and I'd see another dog~ and be like "Dog!" "that's a fucking dog!" kote: no shit, seems normal there XD
*motor bikes r so popular in indo cuz everyone well.. POOR, so its the cheapest and most affordable way to go for the average family there~ and i mean holy shit families on bike! i say 4 people on a bike one being a small kid sitting on the steering wheel like.. is that safe? o.o no helmet no nothing~ i saw his left mirror did not exist
*There was a man who stopped his bike by an abandoned lot and decided to take a piss with hundreds of people in transit behind him passing by~ public urination seem to have a green light there~
*finally at Hans family hotel "Casa Ganesha"~ was pretty nice had a Hindu theme cuz well Bali is a pretty Hindu place, had a medium sized pool..those i think bamboo or straw roof linings and like Asian style roofs, the whole place is very simple and even primitive in a sense.. like my lock was a padlock XD FTW! they had a really nice restaurant in there~ they kept giving me free food and when i check my bill after leaving they didn't even charge me~ i think they know I'm friend of the owners son.. a sorta family friend now~
*Hans mother was telling me how dangerous bali traffic was and how indonesia in general is a no go zone for foreigners to drive, ah hell but hei i love suicidal challenges so i got hans to rent us afew bikes! lololol she wasn't impressed XD
*My indonesia bike lesson basically consisted of his servant sticking the key in the ignition and walking away~ i took flight onto the road slowly.. almost stopping traffic.. i think everyone was raging at me.. then as i got the hang of it and started blending in with the traffic I lost hans~ he had zoomed far ahead somewhere so i waited at sum ghetto gas station.
*Hans came back and found me and we decided i need to fill my bike up with tasty gas~ so i was waiting in a line of roughly 5 people~ i don't know where the fuel input is. i looked so hard.. for the life of me i couldn't fin it.. then i saw the guy in front of me lifting his seat and there was a cap for fuel input.. so yay! same for me
*As i popped off i realized my right side mirror was missing~ when i got on the bike im absolutely positive i had a fucking right side mirror! when i look at the bike i can see it got "ripped" off so apparently wat happened is.. a van came to close and i didn't even notice XD and the bike is so flimsy that when sumthign breaks u don't even feel it fall out it just comes off clean XD im riding a suicidal peice of crap~ and loving it XD
*Oneday when we stopped our bikes at this really nice cheap desert place my bikes stopped working.. closer inspection made me think that the starter motor had died.. so it would seem like i have to do a manual kick start but i didn't know how.. and hans didn't either XD so we asked a stranger and he kick started it for me XD it was really easy. Later replaced the bike since it was so cheap~
*Had this REALLY nice duck at this huge restaurant where the view was this heaps nice rice field thing goes as far as the eye could see, very green~ we were sitting at a huge table and laying down on cushions~ felt spoiled XD
Had this really nice pork at this place i dunno where but they had chickens roaming around everywhere and they painted them colors.. lol i saw pink chicken! u don't see that shit in Sydney!
*Parking~ oh god parking with a bike is crazy so many fucking bikes and u got like.. hardly any room.. getting it out is like a gamble.. u fuck up and everyone will kill u cuz their bikes will fall like dominoes XD
*monkey forest!!!! Hans took me to the money forest and i parked my bike and bought some bana fucking nanas! theres so many monkeys in that darn place i didnt even make it half way in with the bananas they all mobbed me.. like 3 monkeys climbing up me to reach the bananas~ i few afew down and ran away~ and then later a monkey sneak attacked me and took a huge load of bananas~ i had afew left n gave it to hans~ he was gonna make one jump but then lots of monkeys came out and he got scared n threw it n ran away XD
*After the monkey forest i realized i left my bike keys in the bike~ i was like oh shit gg my bikes gonna get jacked.. but surprisingly its still there~ the guy who is sorta like security took it for me and gave it very nice man~ i gave him a nice tip~ 10k rupia or something~ thank u man! u fucking saved my life! not walking bak.. no foot path XD
*River rafting! zomg that was fun~ inflatable raft with hans, nina, 2 tourists and the instructor~ going down the midly hard rapids the instructor gave us strict advice for our safely.. stop! go! forward! backward! brace urself! etc~ but we were so busy paddling cuz we were racing hans father who had the rest of the family in the boat xD
*I was first to fall off our boat, we had crashed abit and i was leaning abit on too far on the left side cuz hans so fat i hv to push him away most of the time but the boat was falling towards me so he basically pushed me in~ i was like kinda drowning since my feet here stuck and the life vest made it hard to bend back up~
*Next nina fell off and fell off when we were in motion which was funny cuz she couldnt catch up to the boat instead stuck to follow the flow of the rapids XD luckily for her tho, a different rafting companies boat picked her up and took care of her till she got close enough to jump back on board XD
*Hans dad fell off! lol noob! no way to explain how funny that was lol~
--Theres more But im getting tired~ might ad later XD
Jakarta*Jakarta was equally as crazy traffic wise XD I see people changing lanes without indicating.. tho i wouldn't call it changing lanes because there are no lanes XD
*Found myself with a group of girls most of the time when i was going out because hans was always so busy, thanks franka, enji and nina for taking me out XD They took me shopping at this place called "Manga dua" which is like a big airconditioned paddys market in sydney XD HUGE so huge u can get lost, bought lots of stuff~ dunno if ur family forced u out or if u really wanted to~ but anyways THANKS! i had fun XD
*Hans had hooked up an appointment with me and this "Muslim" model, i was pretty fascinated and she was as i predicted.. very beautiful it really sucks that the economy and religious background of the country holds her back from being a model compared to western standards~ I seriously saw something interesting in her tho i do feel bad about getting her drunk etc etc XD apparently she had to sneak out lol
*Jessica (the muslim model) was kinda hard to communicate with cuz of her lack of english and my lack of indonesian XD so i really couldn't appreciate her personality or intellect as much as I'd like to.. so it ended up being "easy on the eyes" but not so "easy on the ears" or teh BRAIN.
*While in transit I saw a monkey riding a bicycle and wearing a hat, i found that outstanding!~ i love screwed up economies! honestly that just made my day
*Had coffee at this place called Cafe Luwak (not sure if its spelled properly) but it apparently is one of the best and most expensive places to buy coffee in Indonesia (still cheap to me, muahahahha! foreigner power!) It was really good actually, nice bitterness and a REALLY strong n relaxing aroma (Apparently the key ingredient is cat fecies)
*In this strange mall place.. cant recall wat or where, but there was this stall selling what appeared to be lighters and novelty items like wallets, old telephones and small metal sculptures etc, i was innocently feeding my curiosity towards this lighter which had a Queen of spades on the front (Im abit of a gambler) anyways I'm an ignorant foreigner and i look like a local~ the guy says something to me in Indonesian and i ignored it and when to flip the lighters switch expecting a flame, but i got a hard electric shock instead.. i was temporarily stunned lol!~ I guess what he was saying was "Careful it will shock you"
--Theres prolly more ALOT more but I'm too tired~ this is enough for now
