great Bali video

[shazam]

Hope it's ok to share a short video about Bali which sums up why the island is so special.

Background music just seemed odd to me... However did get a good laugh @ 3:16

Brilliant film, loved it. If I didn't live here already I'd drop everything and get on a boat, plane, rickshaw, mule or a bike and come.

My 3 year old granddaughter, that is half Balinese and lives in Kansas, loves watching this video. We visited Bali last January and I think this helps keep her limited memories of Bali alive. Makes me want to visit again soon, especially when Kansas is currently so COLD!

Wow! can't imagine anyone trading Kansas for Bali! Shock, Horror... :O)

Thing I liked about Kansas is that you can see on Sunday who's coming for lunch on Tuesday. (Flat!)

I live near Lovina with my wife and son. We would be happy to meet up. I would be very happy to have a drink with you and give you the benefit of any knowledge I have. Are you looking to rent or buy? I have a spare car or could find you car and a driver. Could even pick you up from the airport if you don't have any other plans. [I don't work so no big deal].

Hey Mat since when do you do free airport pickups?

I got some people coming in in a week or so and my brother needs a lift on Thursday?

Could you manage to get here about 5ish in the morning, he's on the 7am flight. You could also pick up some breakfast for us all - don't like to get the staff up that early - sure you understand.

Let me know what your schedule's like.

Yes, I understand, staff can be a little grumpy if they don't get a good nights sleep. I would love to help your brother but unfortunately we will be flying out to a friends birthday party on Thursday and we won't be back for 3 weeks. [I didn't say free, I would expect around 100,000 IDR to cover fuel.] Seriously I am happy to help as long as I have nothing else to do. [which is the majority of the time].

 

[Markit]

You're a lovely fella with a beautiful wife and I'm sure, a bouncy baby.

A 3 week long birthday party - and they say you Brits don't know how to party.

Have a good flight.
