Kraft Mac n' Cheese...does it exist in Bali?

Looks like I'm off to Teuku Umar. Doris any advice on what the store as near, so I'm not driving up and down that crazy street all day? This has me excited.

From the big intersection just before Ramayana, keep going straight ahead. A bit further along is the right-hand turn into Jalan Diponegoro, (for RIMO, Bali Mall, etc). Stay in the left lane and continue into Jl Teuku Umar proper. You'll eventually come to a big round-a-bout, (if you haven't been killed by then). Straight again, (towards Jl Imam Bonjol/Kuta). Libby is on the tight-hand side just after the round-a-about.

Please excuse me here. I could just put a marker on a Google Map, if it's not there already. I'm busy at the moment looking for cosmic cheese.

Seriously, Google Maps is quite brilliant. Locate where you are and where you want to go. Google Maps will give you detailed instructions on how to get there..."turn left here, continue, turn right there, continue..." Like a poor-man's GPS device.

LCROSS is 5 minutes from impact, (if it doesn't miss it's target).

Let me know if you can't find it, (I mean "Libbi"/"Libby", not LCROSS).

:D

We'll that coverage was 1 whole big fat piece of cheese!!! :roll: 30 seconds to initial impact and the bloody screen goes blank??? I thought the 2nd craft was filming??

Oh well I'm sure CNN were snooping around up there and have some eye witness accounts of the impact. :lol:
 
Thanks for the directions, looks like I have a project for tomorrow. I look google maps for finding the streets I'm looking for, but find that it isn't updated all that well with the addresses of businesses, which is made even worse by the fact that things don't ever seem to be ordered numerically in Bali. I would hate to have the job as a postal worker here.

Thanks again.
 
I agree with you, aquaman

It was a fizzer, entertainment-wise. Unless they're hiding something from us. Like the Moon really is made of cheese.

My screen didn't go blank at the crucial moment, but stuffed if I could see anything to rave about. Now they're telling us it'll take hours, days, weeks to analyse the data. Ever heard of a Blue Moon? Maybe Kraft's bought property there. No BS, they're hiding something, for sure!

The Indian probe a few weeks ago already found water on the Moon, but no samosas. It's all a conspiracy, believe me. No evidence, so far, of dried macaroni.

Let's see how they wriggle out of this one.

Personally unimpressed but glad to have "seen" this historic event. Makes me wonder if the three robots on Mars at present are real, too.

The live footage of NASA scientists breathing a sigh of relief when the missile allegedly hit its target was wonderful. I wonder what they tell their partners when they go home at night?

"Honey, I shrank the Moon."
"Honey, I blew the Moon up."
"Honey, we missed the target."
"I've got a headache."

Perhaps next year will be "The International Year Of Gastronomy".
Heaven forbid.

Hi, calitobali

I'm no postman in Bali. One of life's blessings, I guess.

Google Maps works fine, but it takes a bit of fiddling with until you get the hang of it. And don't forget that if you want to use and edit stuff, you need to be logged in to your Google account, (like your gmail address, if you have one).

I haven't even tried to update the map for "Libi Plasa" there. (Note the difference in spelling with my own.) Maybe tomorrow or next week.

Below is a modified map. I hope it shows up properly.

Best of luck in your quest to overcome your withdrawal symptoms.

:D
 
Yep, that's the place.

Here's a list of the ingredients in that stuff, (not trying to put you off). The one that intrigued me was Sodium Tripolyphosphate and I wondered what that is.

Ingredients: ENRICHED MACARONI PRODUCT (WHEAT FLOUR, NIACIN, FERROUS SULFATE [IRON], THIAMIN MONONITRATE [VITAMIN B1], RIBOFLAVIN [VITAMIN B2], FOLIC ACID); CHEESE SAUCE MIX (WHEY, MILKFAT, MILK PROTEIN CONCENTRATE, SALT, SODIUM TRIPOLYPHOSPHATE, CONTAINS LESS THAN 2% OF CITRIC ACID, LACTIC ACID, SODIUM PHOSPHATE, CALCIUM PHOSPHATE, MILK, YELLOW 5, YELLOW 6, ENZYMES, CHEESE CULTURE). CONTAINS WHEAT, MILK.

It turns out that "It's used widely as an ingredient in laundry detergents, as a water softener in hard water regions and improving detergent performance. In foods, STPP is used to retain moisture. In addition, it is used as a preservative for seafood, meats, poultry and pet foods."

Also in toothpaste.

Everybody's probably heard the latest big news that Playboy Magazine is going to put Marg Simpson on the cover of the next issue. Plus a naked centrefold, bios, and all the rest. Is nothing sacred?

Having lots of spare time on my hands at the moment, waiting for my car to get all the dings panel-beated out of it and a new paint job, I've come up with two doctored images of Mrs Simpson, hopefully for your viewing pleasure.

Now for some Moon mock-ups...maybe later.

:D
 
Went there today, couldn't find the import foods, and asked some of the people working there where they kept the foreign and import foods. They said they didn't know, which still after a year isn't any less frustrating of an answer. Which part of the store is it located in? I didn't have much time to browse the whole place?

They almost never know! You could be standing right next to the aisle and they still don't know.

Sad to hear that your expedition was fruitless. How was the traffic?

The "foreign food section" there is very small these days. You could blink and miss it altogether. From memory, it's along the left-hand wall as you go in, about three-quarters of the way into the place. Unless they moved it very recently to somewhere else.

I've noticed lots of supermarkets "re-arranging" things. It's possible somebody knows what's going on, but they seldom tell the floor-staff, who are usually "busy" pretending to be "working". Most of the pretenders are excellent at it. If they're not allowed to use their hand-phones, they're busy gossiping, (even making jokes/lewd comments about foreigners).

There is a huge new store on the By-Pass called "Mitra-10". Don't get your hopes up, they don't sell food. It's like MAKRO, or a poor imitation of ACE Hardware, without food sections. Specialises in building materials, house paint, bath-tubs, taps, mirrors, lighting, water heaters, gardening odds 'n sodds, etc.

I've been there a few times. Not unusual to see a bunch of "staff" watching the TV monitor above the check-out area. What amazed me, one time, was seeing two identical Rinnai "Exotic" gas cookers ("kompor"), virtually next to each other. The price tags were wildly different. They caught my eye because I'd bought the same model from somewhere else, for about half the price of the ones there. (Even the cheaper of the two.)

An unimpressive way to run a big business, IMHO. (Maybe they ain't businesses at all, but fronts for selling illegal cheese from the Moon.)

In the end, I'm glad that "staff" seem to have their private body parts attached to their bodies. Imagine waking up in the morning and not being able to find your brain, pussy-cat, or ding-dong, (the weapon of mass seduction)?

:D
 
I got some!

Adam is most definitely a man of his word and brought me 4 boxes over. Hit the spot. He's a real good guy to have a beer or 10 with as well.
 
Nope, but Adam sure knows how to pick a hotel with semi-naked girls swimming around on what I was expecting to be a quiet, relaxing Sunday night! I'm still disappointed that Marge didn't reveal too much in the Playboy spread.
 
Only 10 ??????? :shock: 8) :D

Theres always something new that comes along to shock you in Bali.....That sunday night was awesome, glad I had company to back up the experience :lol: :lol: :lol:
