Bali Trip

the bali bomb site which killed nearly 200 ppl is right opp the above momument.
There are indeed alot of white people at bali.
Balinese are rumored to be the richest people in Indonesia. i think it;s true to a certain extend. bali have all sorts of americans/aust/canada brands.. Roots, krispy kreme! billabong, adidas, designer brands etc.. some are imitations tho. most of the stuffs are in US $. things are pretty expensive but nice tho.INdeed sucking the blood out of the tourist there.

i lo0ve this picture.Captured the Sun rays, sea and waves
Taking a short break .A chance to take photos. Our camera was out in a water proof bag attached to the raft. the total distance covered is 11km . took 2hrs.It a great experience. too bad it was low tide else will be more exiciting. At least it did not rain. sunny weather.I would wana go white water rafting again!
Getting ready for white water rafting
Flying fish. It's considered a new watersports. two person lie on the float which is attached to the motor boat . the 'fish" will then rise and stay in the air.
I;m descending
Parasailing. The feeling of ascending was thrilling. the guys were buff and strong
The hotel that we stayed in, I thought it was cool.. cos the back door leads you straight to the pool.

The plane that i took to Bali.

My last vacation in 2006.
2006 coul dbe considered my most memorable year. The 1st and last time i have travelled to so many places in the shortest period of time. My last destination was Bali.
The beaches not that fantactic.. the sands arent that smooth and soft .. the water kinda dirty.. CUBA beach is still the best beach i ve ever visited...
the only thing that marks my trip was the watersports.
tried white water rafting, parasailing and flying fish for the 1st time. check out the phtos below.

ANd what was scary was that rigth after i was back from indo. there was news of an Adam airline flight that crashed into a mountain. it was the same airline that i took to bali.. MAn.. i was go glad i came bk sound and safe.i even took a photo with the plane that i took. luckily it;s not the same plane.. *phew*
