My current trip here is very different from when I was last here a few years ago. I’m still working from 1pm-5pm, so I miss most of the sun during the day. I’m still lucky enough that I can travel here and still work, so no complaints, but as I get older, I look back on how I used to travel with fond memories, but it’s no longer viable for me to take 6 weeks off and have every day be open.

I’ll be heading over to Kuta (about 30 minutes away) on Sunday because it’s closer to the airport and a bit more lively. Food here is great, and even though 1 USD is equal to around 15,000 IDR, and bills can be confusing when they are 6 figures, Bali is always a good time.
