I love Indo!

Okay, here we go! It's been over a week since my last blog entry, so I have a lot of catching up to do in a short time.
I arrived in Bali on the 12th of October. On the flight from Taipei I met Rodrigo, who is from Brazil, but has been living in Oahu for the past 6months. We spent the first few days staying with a friend at the Hard Rock in Kuta, then headed down to Padang Padang to surf.
After a few days of surf I headed back to Kuta to hang with Ben's friend Mariah. She is from Maine, but speaks Balinese and just got a job as the manager of the Uluwatu villas. Mariah came to Bali with her friend Josh, who owns a restaurant and farm in Costa Rica and I must note that he is a vegan who eats more than any person I know. After every meal he asks ,"when is lunch #2? when is dinner #2?" We are also joined by Nick, who is a former USC grad traveling while in between jobs. In the past week we've been lucky enough to score some epic waves at Uluwatu, Impossibles, Dreamland and Nusa Lembongan.
Bali is amazing... you can live for dirt cheap or you can spend a little bit more and live like a king! It is hard to get homesick when the waves are good, the food is amazingly cheap, the sun is shinning and the beers are flowing. Sleeping in bungalows overlooking the ocean. White sand beaches. Too much Fun! I never want to leave. Gotta run tho. try to get pictures up soon!
