Isn't it amazing

Tooth filing ceremony. Most impressive, and surely indicative of only the most serious commitment to Bali.

I won't be there to hold your hand, as you will already have a "mate" in this ceremony. As you surely already know, those who share this ceremony with you forever have a bond to you, and you to them.

Selamat! I am impressed to say the least, and I wish you well with this most important transition in your life. You will never be who you are right now after this ceremony. The Balinese consider this a "rite of passage" and indeed, that is exactly true.

Hi Roy

Most impressive, and surely indicative of only the most serious commitment to Bali

it is my commitment to Bali, my husband, my family and it is a huge honour that i will be a part of it. I couldn't even begin to put into words how i feel about Bali and it's people - although you yourself have often gotten quite close for me.

Ok pooochie, things didn't really go as I would have hoped but you and all may get a laugh. I'll get right onto it when i get home from work. :wink:

Will post some photos too.

Hi Charlie,

Welcome. You live in a beautiful area. Enjoy.

You will have a welcome ally here in Roy whose passion and knowledge about all things Bali is legend. Mind you he can talk a lot of rubbish about other things :-)

I love the no phone in the jungle line. Dr Bruce - do you think I could use that one day? (In a song?)

Jimbo - How you keep sand out of your cell-phone?

And Hi, Ni Luh. Thought you'd forgotten about me. Any single malt would be brilliant for me. (Bule beggars can't be choosers.) Failing that, a 12-year-old John Jameson would be very nice (I use it to make Irish Coffee). The cheapest Australian wine can I find down here, 2-litre flagons, cost Rp145,000. I'm paying Rp135,000 for a case of Bintang (16 large bottles). Just for the record.

I'm a bit surprised to hear that Bali Bounder is allegedly an expat living in Bali. Is he staying in Bangli (like Rumak Sakit Bangli)? Ain't no cures to be had there (by any stretch of the imagination, or chains - do they still use those?).
:roll:

Welcome Charlie

Hi Tina

Pooochie, welcome back. I loved your thread “BAR CHAT - Beware Adult Humour”.

Thanks Tina.

Hi Bapak Jimbo Sayangku

Favorite Malt is Laguvullin and very expensive it is too.

I never heard about that malt and only 19 hits in google.….Hmm

Hi Davo

I just checked Oom Bert pictures site. Lovely picture of you and your kekasih in Bali. I can’t wait for your story: was it sweet or sexy :oops: ?? Thanks for sharing it with us and we are all here for you if you need anything just ask the questions…

Hi Sanurian

Any single malt would be brilliant for me.

Well I have one bottle of Isle of Jura in Denpasar. I will ask my brother to put your name on it and lock it in the cupboard. Sanurian you mentioned “Caves” in Bali to my husband in the past. I have been wrecking my brain. Was that the Japanese Caves in Kintamani (I could be wrong here). Perhaps you can tell my husband and I over a drink when we are in Bali. Do you have the maps of the “tunnels” too?? Oops better say no more :oops: .

I'm a bit surprised to hear that Bali Bounder is allegedly an expat living in Bali. Is he staying in Bangli (like Rumak Sakit Bangli)? Ain't no cures to be had there (by any strecth of the imagination, or chains - do they still use those?).

I actually visited Bangli with my mother during her charitable works. I must admit it was very scary. It was a long time ago and if my memory serves me correctly yes they did use chains. I think Balibounder is a grifter. He tried to con another grifter in Bali and he was double conned. Can’t get over it, ending up in Bangli and somehow he got his hands on the computer.

Poochie Sayangku

Sayang bilang Sayang was a very famous indonesian love song of the late eighties. Still sends shivers down my spine. My favourite singer though is Pance. Old now but still I listen.

What about you or are you more into Western music?

I told you the whisky was expensive but I think it should be spelt Lagavullin. Only about 40quid a bottle :-)

Sanurian

Mobile phones do not work in the middle of nowhere :-)

[Roy]

Mind you he can talk a lot of rubbish about other things

And this from a man whose brain is frying in 125 degree heat in the middle of the desert in SA....and with NO cell phone? :P :P :P

I love ya Jimbo and when you finally get to Bali, I'll be sure to have a really good single malt on hand, just for you. :D

And, if you are very good, I’d love to invite you to one of our gallery photo sessions to model our vintage Indonesian batiks. We've got one "batik Belanda" with oil rigs on it. What do you think?

That reminds me. Playboy Indonesia officially launched today with 100,000 copies hitting the “newsstands” etc. I asked my mother in law how many copies she intended to stock in her warung and she just grunted.
