Exploring Sanur Beach

Third Day, June 18, 2006

June 18, 2006BreakfastI had fried egg, sunny side up and fried rice, some fresh fruits , coffee and banana shake.The fried rice is good, parang yang chaw rice ng hap chan, yung banana shake lang di masyado masarap, di ko alam kung anong klaseng banana ginamit nila, gusto ko kasi matikman lahat e, ayan kahit di masarap ininum, hehehe.. after breakfast I returned to my room to take a bath and fix my things because Arta and his friend is gonna fetch me.12:00 PMArta and friend Jeephy arrived at the lobby of the hotel, Jeephy also has his own motorbike, so we put my other bag at the back of Jeephy’s bike and I rode at the back of Arta. It’s a long drive to the house which I rented but the good thing here is that the roads here are smooth, pure asphalt kaya makinis, bihira lang yung lubak. Before going to the house we stopped by at a bank to exchange some of my dollars, Arta said it is the safest place to exchange money, they even exchange Philippine peso here, mababa nga lang ang rate, after this we went to the house, after fixing everything in the house I suggested we have to eat lunch.its past 2pm already I’m starving already.Arta and Jeephy brought me to a restaurant who serves suckling pig, parang package sya pag umorder ka, may fried pork blood, intestine, 1 stick sate and vegetables, suckling pig tastes like lechon, ganung ganun, malambot sya un nga lang wala silang sarsa ni mang tomas, hehehe.. the crew here are friendly, I even had a chance to have a picture with them. After eating we went to a nearby mall to have a glimpse of it, it’s a small mall, its a Sunday so most of the people here are kids and their parents, after few minutes, Arta said that Sanur beach is just a few minutes away from where we at so I said lets go there so we can see the difference of it from Kuta beach.Here we are at the Sanur beach, it’s a simple beach but it has longer shoreline than Kuta, but most of the people here are locals, no surfers because the water is shallow. But it is windy here, some foreigners go here in the afternoon to sun bath. There are many vendors here selling different foods, I tasted the “Sate” or grilled pork, spring roll, they call it here lumpia also, fried tofu, they call it here tahu, all tastes good but its all spiced up. We also met some Balinese women here, her name is Dora and I forgot her sister’s name, what an interesting name. hahaha… anyway, they are friendly but shy.. Arta said that it is the traits of Balinese women, they are really quiet and shy specially with foreigners. After spending the cool wind of Sanur beach its time to go cause its starting to rain, we go now to Kuta to rent motorbike for me, because staring tomorrow Arta is going to his office, no one will accompany me to go around Kuta. On our way to Kuta we stopped by at a restaurant to have some picture with Balinese waitress standing in front of their restaurant, they’re nice some one even told me “I’ll wait for you here” I wonder why she said that, hehehe…after getting the motorbike , they accompanied me to my house in Sanur, I gave them samples of Beach hut lotion so they can put it on their back packs, by the way I gave Arta 1 piece of 180 ml clear spray, I told him he can use it and make some test spray with his officemates. When we got home, we rested for a while, chat for a moment, they are having fun being with me because they can practice their English, Arta said he learned English language from television shows and English books, they have English subject in high school also. They supposed to go home but they decided to sleep in my room because its raining and its already late, they slept on the floor, they used the blanket on the floor because the floor is cold. Neither one of them want to sleep on the bed. That’s all for today.. wait for my blog again tomorrow, goodnight people.
