bali

Went to bali and was a bit disappointed. the waves were nice and all but really it was a bit crowded and there were too many people surfing for me to try to go out and get my groove on. It says something about a place when the entire stretch of beach was lined with the vendors , not fruit or trinkets but surf boards. now do you really expect me and this temple i have to climb into the water with the riff raff that rents surf boards for a weekend visit? All I could imagine was an errant surfer getting on a wave too big for his rookie ass and crashing into me so i left the beach and headed into the mountains much nicer up here less people less to doi and overall less expensive.Think I will enjoy the few days I have here just a lot of walking and looking and figuring out what it is I want to do next. Hopefully there will be time enough to hit a beach and relax but if not thats ok I am trying to learn to take it easy and harbor less expectations. Life I think is about learning, I am not finished yet just have to remember that.

This day has been a wreck. First I took the worlds fastest commuter train from beijing to tianjin yesterday. It topped out at 330 kph which is screaming fast. though not fast enough to get me back in time. You see my tickets to bali in indonesia were for yesterday and I thought that they were today. Silly me for not ever learning to read. Anyway got new tickets for today and now the final leg of my journey from Kuala Lumpur to Bali has been delayed for three hours. Which sucks as now i wont get in until 1030pm and then I have to find a place to stay. I really need a beer and to relax but as I am at the airport it is super hard to find either of those. I did however encounter what I believe is the edge of civilization. This is according to the Dunkin theory of world levels. Yep thats me at the low cost carrier terminal in Kuala lumpur.
