oops... BALI!

ok So that wasnt very bright of me..
SO, i have had a very exciting week.. Like seriously it was so much fun, and it was probably a shock of my life. You just dont know how great youve got it until you see ppl who have less than you.. I wouldnt even be able to start to explain how it is but i shall try. I was only there for 5 days, well 6 if you count saturday early morning when we left for the airport, but man me and betty got picked up from the airport, and wow the driving there is mental, its unreal. There are sooo many scooters, and vehicles on the road. i cant even explain it. I cant see how theres no accidents because they drive so close together, and the scooters all drive around the vehicles, man its insane, ill have to put some pictures up, and hopefully theyll kinda give you an idea. I got my hair braided on monday, and i just took it out now, like they were all in little braids with beads. And then on tuesday we went shopping, gotta explain that but later, cus im at mary and erics right now so i cant really do that right now. And on Wednesday me and betty went white water rafting! that was lots of fun.. Man there is so much to talk about i dont know where to start so ill just wait until i can put pictures up so itll make more sense. I got 3 henna tattoos :D :P one on my shoulder, one on my foot and one on my wrist. They were all freehand and they are so cool.. the 2 are bigger with like flowers and stuff and then the one onmy wrist is just some stars.. I pretty much went all out with the braids and tattooes, bought clothes jewellery and movies.. and supper too. It was so hot there too, you walk alot. We went to a place called Dempasar. There are these big buildings and they have markets in there, its not at all like the mall not even close, there are so many little shop things in there you can barely even walk through, and it stank so bad, just it was so crowded. its shop after shop after shop, and theres the same thing in almost every 2 or 3 stores, one could have purses, bags, sunglasses, shirts, dresses, watches. Then the next is like a jewellery store with all sorts of stuff, with at least 10 times as much jewellery as like a claires, and probably in less space, then the next will have tons and tons of movies which are a dollar each, then the next shop could be a wooden carving shop. And theres lots of massage places, i got a foot massage and pedicure for 55000 Rp so thats like $5.50 Australian and a full body one for the same price too and tahts for a full hour. And they are really good. Man i could almost go there again. ill just wait till i put pictures up to tell what all happened.. and there are little kids they are so cute, they sell these leather bracelet things for like 2 dollars, man i didnt even need that many but i bought them anyway cus i felt so sorry for them. with teh henna tattoos i was just looking through the book of them, theres more than one guy who does that. but i kinda picked one but he said no not those then he just drew one on my foot as an example, i liked it alot, so i got it, the same guy did all three of mine, he was really good. its so hard to even begin to say what it was like though. So for now ill say that was so much fun, and not at all a waste of money. i only spent probably about $15-20 a day on food and drinks, the food was really good too though, you would get just as much as you would at a restaurant back at home. we got free breakfast every morning from the hotel, there was like bacon, eggs, waffles, pancakes, cereal, hashbrown/potatoes, yogurt, fruit, breads, and there was even like fried noodles, and other indonesian food like that. And you could go back as often as you wanted from 6 30 till 10, and the waffles were really good and huge, the eggs were made right when you asked and you could pick how you wanted them.. it was good. but i shall finish later, im kinda tired. The plane ride back was probaly the best one yet for me, i wasnt feeling like shit at all after, the landing is usually the worst for me but it was really good, But anyways ill stop now

Really sounds like you have a great time. And you can stay! Gma had me a bit scared that you might be kicked home b/c your visa was not the right one b/c Aunt Jenny had a friend who that happened to. Will wait patiently for pictures. Take care. Love you.
