February 14th is for girls not guys. A traitor named St. Valentine started this whole thing off years ago, big business having taken the ball and run with it. Valentine’s Day in Bali is less strenuous on the wallet than it might be in a western country. Last night I stopped by Roxy, the girl’s surf wear store in Kuta nad picked up a cute little t-shirt for Ika (220,000rp), plus a bar of Fruit & Nut. The girl at Circle K grinned when I chucked the chocolate on the counter and said “Valentine?”
Galaxy was celebrating last night, the waitresses decked out in short pink dresses. Justine (for those who know her) was flitting around like a fairy. Most restaurants with an ‘atmosphere’, including Restaurant Italia, Ultimo, KuDeTa etc. can expect to see full bookings tonight. A lot of expats live on a slim budget, many eating at local warungs or cooking at home. The pressure St. V might get them moving today. Happy that I’ve taken care of business, I am looking forward to spending time with my friend Devin from the USA, and most likely having some makan with him and the family later tonight.
Enjoy your Valentine’s Day.
