Ika, Jevon & I are heading up to Ubud today for a change of scenery. We’ll stay in a guest house and I can get online at the local internet cafes, most likely one of those on Jl. Raya Ubud.
Ubud, the so-called ‘cultural center’ of Bali has a lovely location, with small villages and rice fields surrounding it. I predict in the next 10 years there will be a massive property boom, and thetown will change character. The start of that has happened already, with tour buses and now a Bintang supermarket. Until recently Ubud had no nightlife to speak of, only a couple of places to drink and listen to music, most notably, the Jazz Cafe.
My goal is to discover a few more cool little corners of Ubud, to tell you about and do a hike or 2. Remember earlier in the year, Ika, Jevon and I went swimming in Wos Barat, a river in Campuhan, close to Ubud.

Did you try “biah-biah” for their food? It is located between “kafe campur-campur” and “pasar ubud”.
Change happened already? I was there in 1985. The changes have been happening for 20 years–at least.
Ubud has had a nightlife (albeit closing early) for over 12 years. It’s quieter now, with the tourist downturn.
Hi Ami,
last time I went to ubud, I ate in “biah-biah”. basically the food is good and also the price. but for the ‘nasi campur’ I prefer Warung Batavia in Seminyak. You could get ‘nasi campur’ for around Rp18.000 in “biah-biah”
