My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • Today was Marine Water Sports Day! It was a blast!! We had transport pick us up at 11am and then it was a 40-minute drive to the Nusa Dua area. Originally, we had considered staying at a resort in this area and then getting a scooter to visit the main beaches here in Bali. However, it seemed like it would be too far and boy was that estimate right. Not only is it…

  • Another day for the beach! It was pretty toasty out so we didn’t stay too long, but had some fun swimming in the waves. I wasn’t quite as brave as R in diving into the waves since they were pretty big and scary to me. However, it would have been a lot of fun to try surfing or just boogie-boarding. 🙂 Just a few pics for today – [simage=4146,200,y,center,][simage=4147,200,y,center,][simage=4148,200,y,center,]

  • Wow, a full two weeks of being in Bali has already passed. Just another week before it is a return to reality… 🙁 Let’s not think about that! We wanted to try out rafting in Bali since we had such a fun time in Oregon last summer. When we first arrived, we talked to a guy about two different locations for the rafting. He explained that one was close-by but with class 1…

  • Just another chilled day. So, here are some pics of our days… [sthumbs=4084|4085|4086|4087|4088|4089|4090|4091|4092|4093,max,3,y,center,]

  • 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. This was my most recent thread: When the Seoul, Korea Olympics were held, there was a lot of…

  • 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 which is northwest of the Kuta area along the coast. The main attraction of Tanah Lot is a…

  • Basic daily routine: 10/10.30 get up (if 10 – go to breakfast) 11 have coffee on balcony, listen to music, update blog, surf the Internet, etc. 1 go for a swim at the pool or continue sitting on the balcony 2/2.30 think about what to do later… 6/7 go out for dinner and dessert 11 back at hotel to watch some tv and sleep Repeat! Yep, that is the extent of most days…

  • 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, it took me a long time to come up with something that I wouldn’t hate looking at all…

  • _Three Cups of Deceit_ by Jon Krakauer Upon sharing with some colleagues that I had really enjoyed reading Greg Mortenson’s _Three Cups of Tea_ last summer, someone said that he thought that Mortenson had been ratted out as having made up some of his story. I hadn’t heard this before, but it bothered me because I had been really been moved by this book. Another friend of mine has also been reading it…
