Bali Wants a Share of the VOA
It was interesting to read in the Bali Discovery newsletter this week an article about how the Bali Government is demanding a share of the VOA generated every day from incoming tourists.

Dining with Meli at Jimbaran Bay

Jalan Legian Gets a Facelift
Well, kind off! Recently sections of Jalan Legian in Kuta are being repaired and it truly needed it. The constant heavy traffic had made the road look more akin to asphalt Swiss cheese with numerous pot-holes and sections of the road deteriorating in gener

Photos from a Plane: Lombok

Street Food: Wedang Kacang Hijau
A majority of tourists are wary of buying food from the vendors on the street and rightly so. Unless you are accustomed to eating spicy traditional foods then I suggest you just take photos. There are several food vendors you will see on the streets of Bal

Es Kopi Made: Kuta
