Bombing Memorial

**From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia**
2002 Bali bombings
The 2002 Bali bombings occurred on 12 October 2002 in the tourist district of Kuta on the Indonesian island of Bali. The attack was the deadliest act of terrorism in the history of Indonesia, killing 202 people, 152 of whom were foreign nationals, and 38 Indonesian citizens. A further 240 people were injured.

Bali Trip 2009

The attack involved the detonation of three bombs: a backpack-mounted device carried by a suicide bomber; a large car bomb, both of which were detonated in or near popular nightclubs in Kuta; and a third much smaller device detonated outside the United States consulate in Denpasar, causing only minor damage.
Bali Trip 2009

12 Oct 2009 was seventh anniversary of the devastating attacks. That’s why you can see some flowers in the photo because on that day was 10 November 2009, just 1 mth after the 7th anniversary.
Bali Trip 2009

The list of names were from 21 countries : Austrialia, Selandia Baru, Belanda, Denmark, Inggris, Italia, Jerman, Prancis, Portugis, Polanda, Swedia, Swiss, Yunani, Amerika Serikat, Brasil, Equador, Canada, Afrika Selatan, Jepan, Taiwan, Korea and Indonesia. (Guess so those countries name were written in Bali language). Sad feeling when saw this list of names.
Bali Trip 2009

A permanent memorial was built on the site of the destroyed Paddy’s Pub on Legian Street. (A new bar, named “Paddy’s: Reloaded”, was reopened further along Legian Street). The memorial is made of intricately carved stone, set with a large marble plaque, which bears the names and nationalities of each of those killed. It is flanked by the national flags of the victims. The monument is well-maintained and illuminated at night.

To arrange a family trip especially with father and mother, really not easy. Thus, I never think about money or time, just agree :D to her. Heard that Jun 2010 is the coldest time also =.=”’. So, recently need to save money to buy winter cloth :) and prepare expenses for Melbourne trip. Looking forward for my Melbourne trip in Jun 2010. Yeah ^^

You can see his picture and review from http://www.puketoki.com/driver.htm also. I also agree on what this website review on him. His price also reasonable. Full day rate Rp300,000; Half day rate Rp175,000. He will add Rp50,000-Rp100,000 if the places you want to visit too far. He always read magazine while waiting us. He was not talkative person. You need to tell him what you want. He really ok with everything one, as long as you happy. But of course money wise, different story la :)

We have our light lunch at Babi Guling at Bu Oka ( a restaurant near Pasar Ubud ). We just ordered one plate Bali Guling special Rp25,000 and fruit tea Rp5,000. I feel the babi guling rice is special because I never ate before. But the taste so so ok ok la :P . Having lunch here really hot. No fan at all. However, when you go Bali, take a chance to try babi guling :) . Maybe you like it because Babi Guling food was famous in Bali.

After finished lunch, saw a building opposite Bu Oka Babi Guling restaurant. So just took a picture :P . My friend told me this place last time actually was “king palace”. How come I never noticed it :P

Need to say goodbye to Ubud already. We continued our journey to Sukawati. A place which sold alot souvenir and things. Compare the price with Pasar Ubud, Sukawati is cheaper. Anyway, depend on you power of bargain!
Bali Trip 2009

See, most of the things and souvenirs I bought from Sukawati.
Bali Trip 2009

After finished shopping, Jonny brought us to Southern area. But too bad if we want to see sunset at Uluwatu or Jimbaran, we need to skip some places already. We skip Nusa dua beach, Water blow and GWK. Why we skip because we thought that nusa dua beach, just a beach..nothing special somemore the weather so hot. We skip water blow because Jonny told us August only can see beautiful water blow. Then between GWK and Blue Point Villa, we selected Blue Point villa. Because GWK entrance fees Rp30,000 and only see statues. Lets show you what special at Blue Point Villa.

On the way go Blue Point Villa, we passed by…
Bali Trip 2009

We reached Blue Point Villa, but to enter here, you need to buy drink from their cafe!!! Else you are not allowed to go in =.=”’

Before we started, just to let you know, day 3 itenary will visit alot of temple. To enter a temple, you must wear the pant or skirt which cover your knee. Else, please bring your own “sarung”. Because some temple will provide you free but some will charge you. Let’s start our journey!

Our first station->Goa Gajah. Entrance fees Rp6,000 per pax with free sarung. This was a dwelling place of Buddhist priest. There is also a Ganesha statue and Ligga are generally attributed to Siwa worship.We are provided free “sarung” to wear at Goa Gajah.

After spent 45mins at Goa Gajah. We continue our journey to Pura Keher. Entrance fees Rp3,500 per pax. No free “sarung”! You are required to pay Rp5,000 for each! And they will ask for your donation after you finish visiting the temple, if you didnt donate, they will tell you must donate. So better bring your own Sarung! I negotiate with them that Rp5,000 for 2 “Sarung” and mentioned to them I will not donate. I feel that they simply want to “CHOP” people! So, please be aware. Anyway, Rp5,000 just < $1. If dont want to make unhappy condition, just pay it to settle thing easily. Sometime money can solve problem easily.

See my blue color “Sarung” :P Not nice one..keke. Today the temple has ceremony,Thus, you will see alot decoration here.

According to Jonny, there was group of gangster forcing you to take tour guide else they will not you enter the temple. Even you just want to take the picture, they also blocked you. *They are collected money illegally, please be aware*. To reach the temple, you need to walk 800m. I dont want to take a risk to walk for 800m and not even get a chance to take the photo! So, I try to negotiate the price from Rp200,000 to Rp60,000! I feel like being chopped again :( . Does anyone have tried to enter the temple and not need to pay for tour guide? Does anyone experienced this before? Please share…

According to the driver, botanic garden was big. If walked need around 2 hours else you may need a car to go around, but need to pay for it. Due to lack of time also, so we skip this and also candi kuning market. If you wish to buy fresh fruit, wild orchids,lilies and tropical vegetables. You can ask your driver to stop by a while.

Actually I have booked an appointment for spa and massage at 4pm. I am not sure they still reserve for me or not because I will reach Ubud around 6 pm. When I arrived Ubud, I asked hotel receptionist help me to call Verona Spa. Unfortunately, they cancelled my booking and also the room was occupied by others people already :( . Nvm, I still got make reservation for tomorrow. Hope so I wont be late :)

Git git waterfall is a place which the waterfall surrounded by lush vegetation. We found this place during our day 3 trip! So it was different route to go there on day 3 :) . Although I unable to visit the Git Git waterfall, but I still put under day 2 itenary for your reference.

While taking photo of our room. Suddenly!!! BlackOut…Whole room become dark X_X. What happened??? Then we called receptionist. They told us whole UBUD no electric =.=”’. What??? Then how? When will have electric? Receptionist told us that Bali not enough electric. So each area will take turn shut down the electric. We were very unlucky then :( but what to do, they only can provide candle for us X_X.

By the way, is dinner time, so we went to Bebek Bengil Restaurant which is very popular of crispy duck. Luckily bebek bengil got some backup electric ( electric generator ). Very hungry, ordered food first.

After finished our dinner only 9 pm. We thought to go Ubud centre has a walk. The hotel has provided free transport go and back from Ubud centre. But, whole Ubud no electric, most of the shop and restaurant no backup electric already closed shop :(

Go back room no electric at all, cant take bath, cant sleep :( . What can we do? So, we just went to a restaurant beside our hotel – Warung Enak. Luckily they have Wi-fi. So we can online surf net :)

On Fri 06 Nov 2009, my hubby and me reach Changi Airport at 530pm. We proceeded to Terminal 1 and checked in there.

Yeah~ fly away soon!
Bali Trip 2009

After check in, we have our dinner at PoPeye Restaurant!
Bali Trip 2009

We ordered 1 fried calamari and 2 set – 2 pcs chicken + chips = $13.
Bali Trip 2009

We depart at 7.05 pm and arrived Denpasar – Bali Ngurah Rai Airport at 930pm! We didnt take any photo while arriving..because we were busying looking for indo.com who were promising to pick us up from airport to Fat Yogi hotel.

There were so many so many people from different hotel waiting infront the arrival hall to pick up their guests! I really dont know how to look for indo.com people! End up we just give up to find them. We took the airport cab to Fat Yogi by paying Rp50,000!

The cab driver didnt sent us directly to Fat Yogi, he told us the road too small, car very difficult to go in! He said just need to walk 100m then will reach Fat Yogi. So, what to do, walk loo :)   

Checked In Fat Yogi

Toilet Door :P
Bali Trip 2009

Although the room is cozy, clean but we not really like the service of this hotel. Why I say so?

1. Didnt see a smile on their face. Seem like I owe them money =.=”’
2. First day we checked in, they didnt give us soap. Then we called to reception, they told us no soap provided. But when we checked in last day, they gave soap! Means??? Got soap give soap, no soad said no soap???
3. First day we checked in, we on the fan + aircond. Last day we check in, we on aircond but fan no function. So we called reception ask him is it the fan spoilted? You know what he told me?He said:”If you wanted to on the fan, aircond need to be off. If you wanted to on aircond, fan need to be off. You can only selected either one!!! Wah~ what’s rule and policy? I really first time heard about that!
4. We ordered for breakfast. I was requesting meal set – ham + cheese and ask them sent to our room at 8am. But they told us 8 am too early. Too rush to cook that. So we are forcing to choose toast + scramble egg.

 
By the way, stay in Fat Yogi hotel overall is ok. The room just cost 26usd per night. Cant complain so much right?

After finished showering, we went to bamboo corner restaurant for supper :)

Bamboo Corner Restaurant
Bali Trip 2009

Bamboo Corner Food Menu
Bali Trip 2009

We ordered Nasi Goreng Super (Rp10,000) , Bak Mie Goreng Special (Rp10,000), Mix Fruit Juice (Rp 6,000 ) and Carrot Juice (Rp5,000). Total only Rp31,000 ( around $4.50! ). Cheap right?

If you think to try nice food and looking for good environment restaurant, this is not a recommended restaurant. If you think to full up your stomache, highly recommend this shop because the food here is cheap and big portion. And the fruit juice so cheap~ The taste of food just normal :) .But so many food over there, maybe have nice one also. When recall back, I wil still will miss bak mie goreng special :) hehe ^^ About the mix fruit juice…the smell weird :P Yack ~Yack~ Thinking to try Avocado juice but finished because already 12 am! They closed at 1 am.
