24-OCT - Thu - Immersion

Some visitors only just scratch the surface of Bali, if at all... As they hide in mega hotels, cruise the main roads of Kuta or cocoon themselves into a resort in Nusa Dua. Those who venture into Seminyak, Kerobokan and Canggu and its side streets, or up to Ubud, will find a different world at each corner! We love this place, the scenery and its people. We are immersing ourselves deeper into the island's network, by scooting to paint shops, furniture makers, curtain material shops, finding our way on the busy main roads, negotiating and dealing for the best price! What an amazing experience, having to organise our new business venture, in a foreign country, whilst staying alert and smart (nothing against Westerners, but if you can sell something at a much higher price to an unsavvy Westerner... Why wouldn't you!?). It is lots of fun, something that we will remember fondly and tell our nephew till he has heard it 10,000 times and just says "yes uncle, I know, you told me that story already!" But alas, we will tell it again :)
