Warung Mimpi is a little Indonesian food place located on Jl. Dhyana Pura. I often go there for a couple of reasons. The food is quite good, portions are large and I can pick from the items on display, getting my plate within 2 minutes. My friend Chimene and I went over this afternoon and [...]

Pasar Seni Kuta (Kuta Art Market) is located between Kuta Square / Jl.Kartika Plaza and the beach. Its quite a large area and has rows of stalls, selling the same stuff you’ll find all over Kuta. The idea ‘if it works for your neighbor, copy it’, has been fully blown out in this neighborhood and [...]

Funny how once in a while you get a blast from the past. Today while checking out places in Tuban, I wandered past the first hotel I stayed at in Bali, or at least, when I moved here on Jan 1st 2003. I remember arriving in Bali, loaded down with gear, a rolled up sign [...]

This morning on Kuta Beach, the sun was shining and the tourists who were around, there enjoying the relaxed atmosphere. Down at the bottom end of Kuta Beach, between the pasar seni (art market) and Jl. Pantai Kuta, is a shady walkway, that is popular with older tourists. I spotted an Aussie flag strung up [...]

Every town needs a Nike store and the Kuta area has one on Jl. Kartika Plaza, in Tuban. The Nike store is classified as a ’semi-factory outlet’, even though there is no merchandise being produced on the premises.

Passing Kuta Beach this afternoon, I stopped for an instant to get a look at the goings and and to remind myself I live in a beautiful place. The entrance to the Kuta Beach, at the bottom of the beach road, Jl. Pantai Kuta, provides a particularly pleasant vie of the curving bay, low shady [...]
Bacio: Luxury nightlife in Bali
By Nick | January 17th, 2007 | 1 Comment »
In recent years, some smart people have realized, that not everyone wants a bamboo bar and a Balinese reggae band, for late night entertainment. They also realized, that the fancier you make a place, the more people will be willing to pay for food and drinks.
Seaside Restaurant: Legian Bali
By Nick | January 17th, 2007 | 5 Comments »
Seaside Restaurant is located in the same location as the old Cafe Warna. The restaurant sits in front of the relatively new Seaside gym, the place that is responsible for my huge ‘wheels’ and bulging ‘guns’. My sister-in-law told me the food was good there, so I take that as a good recommendation.
Here’s what [...]
Blue Ocean Beach Bali

Blue Ocean Beach is a place that draws tourists and expats alike. The beach itself is nothing to shout about, but the easy access to Legian and Seminyak (location, location, location) and the array of place to eat and drink, means Blue Ocean Beach is always busy. While working out today, I snapped a photo [...]
