My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • 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…

  • 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 meantime, here are a few pics from the past couple of days. 🙂 [sthumbs=3964|3965|3966|3967|3968|3969|3970|3986|3987|3988|3989|3993,max,3,y,center,] That’s it for this…

  • It’s too early to be counting down how many days left, but I am reminded since we moved hotels today. We are booked in the Bali Kuta Resort for the next 15 days, which will be until the end of our visit. :*( So, let’s not talk about that! Let’s talk about the good stuff. We’ve mostly been eating, sleeping, swimming, scooting and then repeating that most days. Today wasn’t much different, though…
