tour around BALI

* we were thankful to pull off a short getaway before 2011 wraps up. gener, grace, my sister kathrine and i went to Bali Indonesia for 3D2N escape - a good deal we bought from deal.com.sg last 16-18 November 2011. Bali is one of many places i want to visit in my bucket list. so imagine how overwhelming it felt! it is a dream come true to me. it was so surreal, Julia Roberts was once here man! its a beautiful place. locals are very hospitable. somehow, it actually felt like home.
* we stayed at Quest Hotel Kuta Central, which i highly recommend for very clean premises and friendly and english speaking staff. not to mention our efficient tour guide Gusti. this guy had my respect, you wouldn't believe how much he is earning a month as a tourist guide. u probably just spending it for one day. it is really not surprising though, but then when we asked him why not consider going abroad to work and earn more, he just bluntly said in very simple english "no, my family is here" and we were like.. dead air. by the way, he has not been to any other place aside from Bali, not even Jakarta. im telling this not because i am too proud but rather i am amazingly loving and respecting his simplicity. i guess it is already rare to come across with someone like Gusti.
* i will definitely go back to Bali. our vacation was not enough. we were not able to kiss Bali beach's sand and see how's the night life.
* here are some photos taken by yours truely (mostly). sorry im so tamad to put captions, Lol! anyway, photos indeed speak a thousand words. and i realized this is my first blog post for 2012. Happy new year everyone!
