Just $286 million has been spent to fight bird flu out of nearly $1.9 billion pledged last January by nations and organizations that said they wanted to make a massive effort against the virus according to a World Bank report. But in Indonesia the fight goes on with little funds.

Traveling while you are pregnant is going to be harder than when you’re not, that’s a given. The more remote your location the less facilities will be available and the further you will be from medical attention.

For emergency purposes its good to have a list of the local hospitals and clinics. Obviously if you have medical / travel insurance you would want to go to a western standard clinic (BIMC or SOS), if you don’t have insurance those places are very expensive, so you’ll end up going to the same place all the locals go.

Motorbike accidents are something most of us don’t want to think about. I’m sure that after having a crash, one has more respect for safety and takes a different view of riding. BaliBelly talks about his motorbike crash in Bali and how he got fixed up.

For all you people who look in the mirror and see something unpleasant, Botox is here. I looked in the mirror the other day and thought ‘that’s disgusting’. So now I am cutting my beer intake down to almost nothing and exercising more. I like exercising and recommend it. For people who want to fix their face, a session on the stairmaster may not work.

Thursday Ika, Jevon and I went to Puri Bunda hospital on Jl. Gatut Subroto in Denpasar. We go once a month for regular check ups and immunisasi. This time Jevon got a Hep B shot. We have always taken the taxi, but since the petrol prices went up, taxi prices doubled. I hate sitting in a taxi in a traffic jam watching the clock tick over. We took the motorbike, which for me was less stress, because I took a route that avoided the usual blockages and could keep moving.
