Bali - Seminyak

Josh and I took a small vacation down to Bali earlier this August. We stayed in Favehotel. This is quite a new hotel compared to many there, but location wise is not appealing for beach goers. Like us, the beach was all that mattered, but we had to get burnt slowly under the bright hot sun for 20 minutes before we reach the sands. I must admit there are lots to see in that 20 minute walk.. These are the things that I captured along the way. Bali in my eyes. The beach and shops.


Trip organized by Dreamtrips



Art shop. I'd call it express service.
I got 2 paintings done here, a pug and Vitruve by Da Vinci

 
A local lady's portrait. I fell in love with the colors of this one. It was cheap, but I don't know where i'd hang it at home... its a little scary if I were to come down to my hall and see a face like that glowing in the dark. :S

 
 Doing the final touches of my painting (costs 350 000 Rupiah ie. RM110)

 I love this one! It doesn't look too flat like most pug paintings. This, is beautiful!I am going to frame it up and put it in my hallway :) 

Some local snacks, cant remember what it is.
It had  fried beancurd, tempeh and a some veg. drizzled with sweet peanut sauce.
Very good.

Prepared right on the spot so the fried stuffs aren't soaked with the sauce.

Little monkey is the shops doorbell. It squeeks everytime a person passes through the door. 
Smart way of attracting customers! I'm pretty sure an automatic alarm is cheaper than owning this monkey. haha


Local Nasi Padang. The dishes are stacked in bowls as you see. Displayed in a glass window. 
Best way to eat like an indonesian. where the food is cheap and good.
The shop was so small, it could only fit 20 people the most.

The night life. Apparently, this club is for gays -___-


Beach Beach surf Sun Sun!
 
The water is amazingly cold. Just nice to dip in a sunny day!


 
A higher end restaurant. Verdict. I cook better.



A souvenir i bought for myself. 
 Tote bag for RM15
