Sean and I stopped by Kuta Beach on our way up to Seminyak to check out internet access in Seminyak.
The weather was pleasant and it was fitting being Sean’s birthday.
The old chap was still in negotiating mood though. The locals were learning how to deal with less tourists and had [...]

As I prepared to leave Eugene, I gather up my passport a day before I left. Wow. As I looked at the picture on that passport, I saw myself, or a picture of a man 10 years younger than I am today and pretty handsome I might add.

What a day it was - (last “-” - chris said I am using too many) hot, and I mean hot. I am sweating my *uts off. This Chicago boy doesn’t know jack all about this tropical weather. I’ll refrain from complaining since a lot of you folks are in winter mode.

Sean has only been here for a few hours but on separate occasions got to see the contestants in the ‘international clash’. The American was spotted up on Jalan Melasti with his ‘friend’ and the Swede stuck his head into Internet Outpost this evening.
