The NC (Nagasari Club) is an impressive looking place, located on Jl. Singosari, in Kuta. Staff told me it is a bar / lounge / restaurant and that the place is only 2 months old, but the slump in tourism has affected there operations. Inside the place, a central raised stage, with a drum set sits in the middle of the bar area, a mini Centerstage perhaps. Staff told me Nagasari Club is open from 6.30am-2am, with many Japanese guests.

Chill out spots are places where you can sit back, take it easy and enjoy a mixed drink, or whatever is your pleasure.

Looking around for a sports bars with a big screen, that would work with the morning light, I remembered that last year I went down to Double D on Jl. Legian. Double D has a streetside bar and restaurant. Its located next to Star Surf, is open 24 hours and is popular with Aussies. Downstairs they have a big screen inside and as I arived at 9am I was fearing a riot if I asked to change the channel from cricket. Upstair was another big screen and not only did they have ESPN, they were able to show a different channel than downstairs.

Warung Max in Kuta, is located on Jl. Benesari, next to SurfTravelOnline. Its the same location as former Good Luck restaurant. Lunch today saw Toby, Maya, Ollie, Asia & myself head down there (they are staying in the guest house next door). Warung Max has a definite Latin feel, with music, design and colors, all pointing south of the border. The menu is slim, but that can be an advantage. I’ve often been confronted with a 20 page menu that incorporate everything from, Thai to pizza. With a small menu a lunch party can get themselves in order faster.
Warung Max is open for breakfast lunch and dinner.

Bali is a destination that attracts people from all over the world. Seminyak has a growing gay scene and Dallas Finn gave me an insight to it this afternoon.

Australians really were ones who drove the tourist boom in Bali, with surfers arriving in the 1970’s followed by waves of package tourists.
Kuta Beach was, and still is the epicenter of the Australian tourist scene in Bali, with Tuban to the south and Legian to the north also being favourites.

There are all kinds of micro-economies in Bali. For western tourists these micro-economies are largely invisible. During the economic meltdown in the late 90’s, Indonesians did not have social security to rely on. The safety net they had was family, and the micro-economies of selling bakso, fixing tv’s selling sliced fruit. All this economic activity is out of the reach of government, but ticks over 7 days week, and moves enough money around to keep people fed.

Wednesday night I rode downtown around 9pm to take a lightening tour of some nighlife places.
