Wednesday, March 17

Today we woke up a bit earlier than usual and were greeted with a HUGE breakfast consisting of Ayam Satay, vegetable tempura type thing, lo mein type noodles, coconut curry chicken, rice and more. As you can probably gather, breakfast is typically the largest meal of the day for Indonesians. After the big breakfast Rudy drove us to his father’s house in Sanur so we could move our stuff here and basically have a house to ourselves. The house is a beautiful Balinese style home with a big garden, a pond full of fish, frogs, and a turtle, and is very open. It’s located near the Bali International School, however, we are certainly the only white people in the neighborhood. Every time we walk down the street all the local kids yell “hello” and seem to be excited that foreigners are living near them. Rudy’s father is so nice and makes us tea every morning and we sit outside with him talking, reading or occasionally playing dominoes with him. Once acquainted with his house, we walked into the touristy part of town on the beach (about 10 minutes) to find an internet café and later on had dinner there.
