the bali escapade

the first trip we took together as husband and wife was great! NOPE! awesome!! we went, we saw, we've been touched, we thought of not going home, and we planned to come again! alahhh.. let the pic tell the story mory lah...

here are some of the things i learnt from the trip; and also want to share with u guys;

1. for newlyweds, go to uluwatu to watch sunset, in each other arms. if u plan to go macho with your brand new sunglass, DON'T! the monkeys there loves to snatch it from u, unsurprisingly...
2. have candle lite dinner by the beach at jinbaran beach. a bit costly, but the romanticness of the place will make u forget the rupiahs you are about to lose... tip the singing quartet to sing any number of ur request. but no harm by being stingy, just let the other tables tip them and u just enjoy it for free!
3. bring a sweater to kintamani! it's freaking cold up there! u can see the bathur mountain; which is an active volcano, bathur lake, and also plantations from the restaurant.. awesome!
4. no harm in visiting the temples, just go, and learn the culture. and yeahh.. take good pictures too!
5. we go ga-ga over nasi padang in bali! sate minang is much tastier and half the price compared to kg baru kl's! buy at one shop at legian, kuta called Mak Eri's or sumthing...
6. put aside around RM45 - RM70 for massage session!! ubut has lots of good spas!
7. balinese surfers are crazy!!!
8. when u are approached by the ppl there to sell stuffs, just keep quiet. by saying "no, thank you" will only make it worse. though we did feel like superstars being suurounded by them.. hehehhe..
9. sukawati is the best place to shop, for everything! when you bargain, always ask for half or less than the price they offered. and when u guys don't want to pay anymore higher than what u wanted, say "PASS"; which meant the price will not go higher or lower. err.. try to say pass first before they say it.. hehehhe..
10. bring video cam or digital cam, WITH a really big memory size memory stick/card. it's good view in each way u look.
11. buy a pen and a map. tagged the places u've went, and plan for the next trip!

guys, really. just go and it'll be one that u won't forget for a long time...!
