Days 17-20: Ballin in Bali




After a few hours layover in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, we boarded another Air Asia flight for Bali, Indonesia. We arrived late at Nikko Bali Resort and Spa. In the morning we met up with our sectionmates (BD, Mel, Lauren, Emily, and Tzveta), who had been on their own Asia trek. We enjoyed frolicking in the sun and surf. That night we visited Uluwatu temple to watch the sunset and enjoy a cultural dance show. We finished up with a traditional family-style Balinese dinner.

The next day was more of the same: sun, surf, drink, ass-time. You get the idea. In the evening we went to Ku De Ta, an uber-hip outdoor restaurant and lounge right on the beach in Seminyak. As we approached the road barricades and security, I couldn't help but think this was the kind of place filled with Westerners that a terrorist might like to blow up. I tried not to think about it and had a great time with Wisam, drinking watermelon crushes and muching on quesadillas, gyoza, and edamame.

We departed for Singapore the next afternoon, in preparation for the 20 hours inflight back to Boston.
