Well, the end of the 7-day tour! Here I am now in Jogja, a cultural and educational city. Just arrived, taking turns in taking a bath after having a quick breakfast in still-being-renovated Ramayana - Grage hotel. Mmm ... 10 guys in one room with one bathroom. Better blogging first, ha ha ...
Anyway, planned to take a foot massage (reflexology) on Malioboro road, then have lunch, and return to Bandung. Itinerary: 11p.m. in Bandung, impossible. Luckily, I asked my BPK PENABUR Jakarta office last week to take a leave tomorrow (Saturday) as it will take me 2.5 hours to return to Jakarta from Bandung at dawn! Wow ....
2 unforgettable events:
1. Back to Bali, Day 5, I had a small dispute regarding paying 5,000 rupiahs (+/- US 45cents; normally only 1,000 rupiahs/ 9 cents) for a quick use in DREAMLAND's restroom. At first I complimented the cleanliness and the availability of toiletries, yet it turned out the notice note of charging 5,000 rupiahs was put at the top of the mirror. When I complained that it could have had something to do with taking a bath, the woman in duty said bathing was charged 10,000. Well, one comment for son of former president, Tommy Soeharto, who was said to have invested in this Dreamland: what a good way to raise fund to manage the not-finished-yet surfing heaven and facilities! Sigh.
2. Still on the same day, we have a wonderful dinner in Jimbaran: Blue Merlin resto.
Dinner was served on the shore, just 10m. away from the sea wave, under the clear sky with stars, and added with Cultural dance on small stage, the LEGONG dance. Wow! We had grilled fish, prawns, and shells. Delicious. It was, however, the atmosphere in the air that mattered. Everybody cheered, took pictures and had a wonderful dine in Jimbaran. Thanks, SMAK 2 Bandung, for this exquisite experience!
