The adventures of Bartek, Simon, & Trey as they travel through paradise (. . . lost?), discovering magical waves, beautiful women, exotic food and drink, and soak up the sun and culture of Indonesia's gem island - Bali. Join us, and live vicariously through our words and photos, we hope you enjoy our tales as much as we do living them . . . makase and bagus!
We live in a one room ruko in a shady part of Denpasar, on the outskirts of Kuta Beach, a total of eight people in one room. Our ruko is on a notoriously gay block, or to the locals, lots of "benjungs." The scary thing is lots of these "lady-boys" look like Lucy Lui after a few Bintangs, so we always have to keep our guard up. Our shower is a single stream of water that often runs dry in the same amount of time it takes to soap half your body. We can only use the A/C at night. We eat either mei goreng (noodles) or nasi goreng (rice) all day, everyday. But the good thing is . . . we surf at least twice a day, we are surrounded by European women, and when we're not too hungover from Arrak, we are honing our chi through yoga. We hail from America and the EU, and our western ways are constantly suprised and challenged by the local customs and mores. We are strangers in paradise.
