We headed out to LAX again, on board America West flight 2043.  I was in coach seat 7A on the 737-300 aircraft.

Just as the day before, we went over to the Japan Airlines counter to try for Tokyo again.  This time we would be successful.   We had an enjoyable flight on board JAL flight 063, a 747-200 to Narita.  I was in coach seat 56J.  In Tokyo, we just stayed in the airport and awaited our connection to Hong Kong.   As an aviation enthusiast, I was very excited to be flying into Kai Tak airport.   Our connecting flight was on board Japan Airlines 735, which was a 747-400.   I was in coach seat 35K and slept most of the way, just waking for the dinner only.   The food on JAL was fantastic!  I had a window seat on the right side so I had a great view of the HK skyline on landing.  The customs and immigration was long and slow.   It was late and we were tired.   When we finally got out, we took the bus to Taikoo Shing and found my friend Jim’s uncle waiting for us.  We went up to their apartment, which was 30 floors up in a high rise building.  We all went to sleep quickly, excited about seeing HK the next day.

Bagus means good by the way.

So yeh, as predicted I have had a highly uneventful couple of weeks since my last post. Many a day spent lounging on the local beach, umbrella overhead and book in hand. I’ve never been much of a beach bunny but with the help of a comfy lounger and the large umbrella to shield my pathetic pasty skin it’s been rather relaxing. I spent most of the time at the lovely local place where my friend Alice is staying, getting hooked on both Entourage and Weeds (those are TV series mum, don’t worry) but unfortunately my room was pre-booked by a french hippy so I had to move out a couple of days ago. Have since been in another cheap place with a horrible cold shower but tonight is my last night there as I’m off to Lembongan!

Lembongan is an island off the south east coast of Bali. I did want to go diving there but in order to save the pennies I’m going to opt for snorkelling instead. I’ll save my final bit of diving allowance for the great barrier reef. So two days relaxing and snorkelling on Lembongan with Alice and Deborah (American, we’re representing the western world!) and then, on friday: Australia. Boo hoo. I’m still not keen on leaving Asia, I’ve had an extra six weeks more than I had originally planned and have enjoyed Indonesia. Asia is just so different from home, I’m worried Australia is going to seem dull in comparison. Not to mention expensive…. Never mind, I’m sure I’ll enjoy it once I’m there! I have 2.5 weeks on the east coast so it’ll be a bit of a rush job and then I’ve got 3.5 weeks in New Zealand.

New Zealand is the country I’ve been looking forward to from the start. I was going to work there, but given the economy and lack of jobs there at the moment I think I made the right decision spending longer in Asia instead. So I shall see it only as a tourist and I’m really excited. It’ll be winter and freezing cold but the scenery just looks soooooo beautiful. Anyway, just thought I’d better make some sort of update, its late and I’m exhausted. Have to be up by 6am for the boat. So yup, I’m off!

This is a memorial of Bali Bombing event in 2002. The carved statue was created with marble and carved with every names and nationalities of the viction of the bombing.

We walked passing through and stop for a moment to take a closer look. That was a dark evening and it felt sad seeing the monument, which shouldn’t even have to be there at all.

The Bali Bombing happened 2 times, one in 2002 and the other one in 2004. During the first bombing, it destroyed one popular bar along Legian Street named Paddy, where the monument is located now.

Currently they re-build Paddy not so far away from the monument.
