Tuesday morning I rode down the street to Sin City, the flashy sports bar on Jl. Dhyana Pura. My reason was a game of American college football was on tv and I was hoping to see some of it. The game was the Fiesta Bowl, played in Tempe Arizona, between Notre Dame and Ohio State. I arrived as the last quarter of the game started. Sin City was empty as usual and I ordered ‘eggs benedict’ for 14,000rp. Strangely the coffees they served were more expensive that the breakfast, with a latte being 15,000rp. I just stuck with the eggs.

This evening I strolled down busy Jl. Kartika Plaza in Tuban to check out the scene. This street is loaded with hotels, such as the Dynasty and the Discovery, restaurants and entertainment spots including Bluefin, DeeJay Cafe and Kuta Paradiso Billiard & Bowling. One of the latest arrivals is the Discovery Shopping Mall, the Las Vegas comes to Bali joint with the 2 huge cement pillars. Strolling inside I was amazed to smell that baked bread smell you get in malls, along with the artery clogging sweet dough they churn out. Indonesians, the people who tell me on a daily basis that they do not like bread, were lining up with trays of bread items and sugared dough. I guess you can sell anything if you position it the right way.
