Day 2 in Bali

This is really a great place! Woke up around 9am and had breakfast in the hotel. On the 2nd day, we toured around in Kuta. Our mission is to find BIGGEST shopping complex in Bali! They call it the CENTRO. But before we start, we stopped by at the money changer to change our US dollars to the local currency. Then we went on bike to Kuta town!

As soon as we reached the town, we stopped by at a DVD shop and spent almost 1 hour choosing DVD!! DVDs there cost around RM 4.00 and if you buy 10, you will get 3 for free! Alan were so happy with his DVDs.( I'll get the police to arrest you! hahaha). Being in Bali, you have to try some of the famous local grub else don't say you've been to Bali..so we tried the MI BAKSO! Mi Bakso is a sweetish pork ball noodle soup. At around 5000 Rupiah per bowl, you can find it being sold by streets vendor (on bike and cart) everywhere in Bali. The Indonesian bakso has a chewy texture and sometimes when eating lesser quality bakso one has the feeling of biting into a rubber ball that goes from one side of the mouth to another. The emphasis of this dish is on the large-sized grayish pork ball, and not on the noodles. Certainly a bowl was not sufficient to fill even one tiny corner of my tummy!

After mi bakso, we shopped around in Centro and bought a sarong for myself and Polo shirts for daddy and Alan. After I pay for the shirts, I found out that I'm short of almost 300,000 Rupiah in my purse! Then we realized...probably we got cheated at the money changer!! Darn! Is a long story how we got cheated so I'm not going to tell but if anyone is going to Bali, please be careful with the money changers! Know how much you gave them to change and how much you got back. Count again before you step out from the shop. They have all the skills to trick you without you knowing...sigh

After that, we went back to the hotel to bathe and rest. At night, we went to the bar! Had some weird drinks! I forgot the name but the guy told me after I drink, my skin will become smoother...hahaha.. One more thing, there were so so many ladies in the bar! Pretty, not so pretty, young, old..you name it! What were they doing?? hahaha...hunting for 'Mat Salleh'...I had goosebumps the whole night..looking at the old ladies with young Mat Salleh..haha..

We left the bar at around 2am..
