Doing what? Jay ho dancing with Sharukh Khan? Or eat and drink Roti Canai and Teh Tarik? Nah…will get to that dancing move one day, and definitely am looking forward to see and taste the real indians doing the pour in-pour out Teh Tarik beverage. The tickets were booked about a month ago, after having spotted an economy promo air fare on this low fare airline website, but not until yesterday, ie. 2 days before the travel date I found a backpacker hostel on the internet (browsing, surfing, swimming on the world wide web could really get us lost!) that looks cozy, friendly, intimate and fun in mind, most importantly : CLEAN and SAFE, and even if I’m going to sleep on a 5 bed dorm (with Bart and a friend, we managed to get the room as a private room just for us), doesn’t mean I’m not going to enjoy my stay in Singapore..oups! Did I just mention the country I’ll be in? Oh well, there it goes my Bali Blogger in disguise mission.

Hostelling means staying in value-for-money accommodation where you can interact and have fun with other travellers in a convivial atmosphere. Why spending hundreds dollar in a fancy room when you’ll going to be there only for sleeping in the night? And I’m going to stay just for 3 days. I better save the money for sightseeing (and shopping too!). I’m welcoming any great places to see, to taste recommendation. A tout à l’heure !

Can you be peaceful and have a Me Time in a touristy (or semi-touristy) beach? YES, YOU CAN! said Obama :p . I Love Bali, I love living in Jimbaran, and Nusa Dua – the rich and famous neighbour – is just 5-10 minutes away from my house.  Just heading towards Nusa Dua, on the intersection at HARDY’S Supermarket, turn right to Siligita road, follow the road, you will see a small statue on an intersection and notice the  sign board to Geger and Sawangan Beach direction where it will lead you to the main road on which Bali Golf Resort Nusa Dua is located, and you’ll pass one of the newest hotel in Bali : St Regis as well. Then you’ll arrive at Geger Beach. Easy breezy..
