Busy Busy Busy...

May is approaching and we are getting busy.

I received a lot of emails on booking and request on tariff. So many of them are travelling at the same time! And most of them are staying in the south (that would mean I have to work longer hour.)

I have to turn down some of them because I can't take more than a set of client at the same time.

I am so sorry.

Heart Warming

A friend in Belgium found my photo in another friend's Multiply page and left a message.

"Titak, my friend we had 9 wonderful days with you during September 2008. I like to thank you for the nice places you took Micheline and I. Take care of yourself and the family."

It is heart warming to learn this words. It shows how much they love Bali :)

Checking in

Hi all, sorry for the long absence. I was at home since wedding and just started work 3 days ago. Hence the “no access” to the Internet.

Life with the family, became a husband, and soon to be papa requires much more responsibilities. It will be harder, but it’s life and it is nice to have a family.

My wife resigned from her job and staying in the village with my family. So I go home frequently nowadays.

I would like to thank all for the well wishes and contributions. God blessed.

Wedding!

I'm ending my single hood on 31st December, 2008 :)

I have a mission!

YY sent me an email to ask for a favour. She found this short article in The Straits Time 1958 and she would love to find this girl who should now be 58.

There's no other information we have so far. We only know her name - Golungan, and she is/was a dancer.



My best bet is she is either in Ubud ot Kuta.

I hope YY can get more information about which village she's from, or else it will be difficult. I would love to find her.

Happy Rain

The rain has come for the rice field...

Yet another happy customer left a comment in my box:

Life as a Driver on a small island

Most Balinese live in Bali their entire life but hardly been to many parts of Bali.

When I started driving tourists around, I was quite lost. I had no idea how to get to one place and another. So I was always on the phone with my cousin who worked in the hotel, who sometimes driving people around the island to make some extra income.

He knows Bali fairly well so he can direct me to the correct direction without me getting lost… well, even when I was totally lost in the middle of nowhere.

Of course my customers then asked me why I was always on the phone, or maybe they notice that I was lost.

My answers was quite standard, “The road changed.”
