A letter from Rossitravel

YY said her "Italian brother" is coming to visit Bali and she asked me to take care of him.

I agreed.

Since we had not met before, I told him when I picking him up from the airport, I will have a placard in my hand with his name on it.

When we saw each other, we was surprised with each other. It didn't cross my mind that he is not a Chinese, I thought he is a Chinese coming from Italy.

"I thought you a Chinese!" I said.

"I thought you were taller!" He said.

We laughed.

When we entered the car, I told him I have not speak English for a while because almost all my customers are French.

"Ahhh... don't worry, I don't speak much English also."

Dear Titak,

Greetings from Udine, Italy.

Thank you for driving me safely around Bali.

Thank you for telling stories of your country. It was interesting, and I have learn a lot.

Though these are only simple words, but they did not explain my feelings...

It was not just a holiday. It was a journey to a culture, history, religion, and life. You were the guide who took me through all of that.

It was an honour to have met your family, visited your village, and your home. It taught me a lot.


Thank you Titak, thank you my friend.

The Weather

YY's friend sent me an email asking me to recommend an ideal itinerary for her trip in November.

Because the mother nature have not been in very good mood, she said that she and YY had been checking on the weather forecast and YY said it should be ok because Bali is a well protected island.

Anyway, she said she decided I am a much more reliable person to check with. So I have to let her know what's the Tsunami warning status is going to be like...

Aku anak gunung, not only I have to watch out for the volcano erruption, now, I have to watch out for the Tsunami.

Small family

That day was full moon, so it was a holiday. A lot of people went to the temple to pray.

My wife, Dewi, was at home with my little boy when the family came to visit us.

He only sleeps during the day, and awake during the night...
