Still Alive

To let you all know I’m still alive :). Been rather busy the last couple of months, work is a real bitch at the moment and weeks of 50+ are no exception. Looking at the brighter side, vacation is coming closer quickly. I’m really looking forward to the 3 weeks vacation in Bali, you’ve got to love this economic crisis :). Where I paid like 1100 euro last year to get my is to Bali, I paid 650 euro now. To finish off I’m thinking of blogging about work too but I need to work some stuff out first because by contract I’m bound to an act of secrecy.

Now I have booked my N’th time ticket to the beautiful Bali people ask me what’s so special about Bali and quiet honestly 9 out of 10 times I can’t give them a good answer. For me it’s a feeling, and I’m not able to put this feeling to words. And really I think it’s also, like any feeling, a personal thing. With what expectations are you going to visit Bali? Cause a few weeks ago I spoke with a contractor at work who had visit Bali a few weeks before our talk about Bali and he told me he didn’t like it one single bit. He also stayed in Kuta (the hearth of tourism on Bali) and told me he found it to be too loudly and too ‘forcefully’. When I asked him about what he meant by ‘forcefully’ he told me they (he and his wife) couldn’t walk normal on the streets without being bothered by any local for transport/massage/etc. Although I have to agree with him on those points I also think you have to see through those thinks, sure I also get annoyed when the millions’ girl walks towards me asking if I want a complete massage but I don’t let that rune my day. If you can do that and can ignore all those ignorance’s than in my opinion you can have a great time on Bali. What I want to achieve with this post I’m not sure either, maybe I should stop drinking too much so I won’t feel the urge to write this kind of posts but until that have fun reading.
