Korean Adoptees – 1
I have been spending some time reading articles on Korean adoptees the past couple of days. I always have a long list of links and posts to read from adoptees or about adoption backed up and when I manage to start reading, I get on a long chain of open tabs and items to read.…

Indonesia: Bali Day 11
So, after our regular morning routine, we decided to go for a scooter ride to check out some other parts of the island. Originally, we headed in one direction, but the road took us to a different one and so we adjusted our destination a bit. We were hoping to get out to Tanah Lot…

Tattoos
For a while I have considered getting a tattoo, much to my father’s chagrin. The main thing for me is that I didn’t want a cheesy-looking one that would stay on my body forever and I didn’t want it in a cliche location on my body (ie no “I like it from behind” tatts…). So,…

Indonesia: Bali Day 7 & 8
I’d like to post something interesting regarding our time in Bali, but as I’ve shown in the pics and posts, we have just been relaxing with no real serious touristy sightseeing or activities. Our major activity the other day was getting tattoos, which deserves a post on its own, so that is coming. In the…

Indonesia: Bali Day 5
We have become creatures of the night lately and so it is rare for us to be awake before noon. However, yesterday was a slight change and so we did a little scooting around the area. Originally, we thought we might try to ride to Nusa Dua on the scooter, but the road was crazy…

Indonesia: Bali Day 3 & 4
We have found a lovely Australian hang-out to enjoy a refreshing beverage – Bali Cider! There are apparently only two locales that sell it in the area and so we have no choice but to continue to go back …. [sthumbs=3903|3904|3905|3906,max,2,y,center,] We have also been enjoying the rooftop pool in our hotel – J Boutique…
