Bali

It's been a week since I moved to Bali. It wasn't a vacation trip but a working trip because finally I decided to accept a job offering that requires me to move here, in Bali. There are many things that I want to share here, in this blog, but I'm going to tell You several things that a bit shocking me, not as a bad compliment ofcourse, but I just want to share my personal story.

Bali has so much distinctions compared with Surabaya. The first thing is that Bali is very very hot at day and very very cold at morning especially for You riding motorcycle. To make it even worse, I didn't bring any jacket here, so...yup... I got flu and a bit sunburned skin hehehe. The second is the time zone differentiation. When I was in Surabaya, it was very very late to do Sholat Subuh at five o clock, but now, it's even still dark at five.

The third is kos-kosan. Almost all of kos-kosan in Bali doesn't provide basic stuf such as bed and cupboard but an empty room for you. Tada... Now I now the reason why the company gives us relocation allowance hohoho... The fourth is the dog. It seems that there are one or two dogs for each house including kos. So... I've got to learn to make myself feel comfort with it. And the last one is that You'll find angkot as a very very unpopular transportation to go somewhere.

But there is another thing that surprising me, Balinesse are very kind, one of the most gentle people I've found . It is proved when I got lost, twice, in Bypass Ngurah Rai and in Kuta area. Every people I asked about direction were showing very good conviction for helping me to find my way out. Something that You'll never found in many places. So...I think the real asset of Bali is its people.

Now, I'm trying to adapt with this new place, a place that someday I hope I can consider it as my second home.
