1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

For the previous trips, the last day is usually gloomy and boring. Thoughts were "back" in the dreaded reality of the boring Sillypore and the banal office. This time it was slightly different. Not to say that I was eager to get back to office, but the last day of the trip simply didn't felt so bad after all. It was probably because of the close proximity of Shenzhen and Bali with regards to the time period. I also realised taking these short trips were tiring. Well, it's nice to hang around in some remote place for a couple of days before coming back for the comforts of home. Maybe, or just maybe, this isn't really the way forward. I believe I know what is going on and soon will have an answer. Be it 2, 20 or 200 years later. I don't know how it is going to look like, but I will see the light at the end of tunnel eventually.

Perhaps we are all dead till we are on the road. This leads to the next question: when will I be alive again?

   

The background looks like an ordinary car park, but it was really the original site where bombs "fell" on Paddy's Pub, Kuta. There's always a start and an end to everything. Love will rise, love will fall, hate will rise, hate will fall.... And it goes on and on.
Bb (my ex) was doing the complimentary breakfast at the New Arena Hotel. We had the most usual of the usuals breakfast in Indonesia. The authentic Nasi Goreng and Mee Goreng (made from Indomee, an instant noodle giant in Indonesia).
Look at the traffic sign in the background denoting someone crossing the road. Then look at the group of people crossing the road. Insensitive humor do help in some ways.
Me at Hard Rock Cafe, Bali. The statement on the wall used to be my signature in Lonely Planet thorn Tree forum. I still agree with it fully.
Morning at the Kuta beach. The drink and massage stalls were there, the tourists have not. It was low tide anyway, I guess.
Pp and Bb (my ex) in New Arena Hotel, posing for a photograph before we leave Bali.
I am on the road again... back home. The backpacker with his bottle of beer.
In a taxi heading for Bali Airport (Rp20k), which was really cheap indeed. The driver were blasting "Sway" by Micheal Buble in the cab, while he kept repeating that the fare was cheap. Strange guy.
Bb (my ex) waiting for the flight back to Sillypore, in Ngurah Rai Airport. It was full of Farangs. Enough said.
Ok, this is not Bali. Instead, we were on the MRT back home in Sillypore. Tired and perhaps thinking of work tomorrow, the trip was ok really. Though I wondered whether we will have the chance to revisit again, as of what we always feel immediately after a trip.
