**holy shit i saw a shark**
i've got sedaris and bourdain in my bag...and i spend much of my time in the air reading the 2 of them...probably the only time i actually get to listen to the ipod too...(no sense in lugging around native music when perusing the western wannabe streets blasting cover after cover) oh yea...so...as far as i'm trying to stray from looking at the world in the eyes of the generic westerner (not only because i'm ethnically asian) the closer i get to wanting to be one of them...it's this weird push pull that i have when trying to write the days events down either here or in the journal...crass,crude,sarcastic,real and above all...pretentiously eloquent...i like it...no...i love it...probably makes sense for you to be reading me writing this...."fitting"
so...i spent yesterday ATV-ing through rice paddy's and going through the countryside...ATV's btw are absolutely amazingly wonderfully SCHWEEET! drove through small mountainous villages where the people constantly wave to you while you pass...."selamat pagi" (i yelled to them -good morning)...got to splish splash the buggy into a small river...got ridiculously dirty...only to follow up the afternoon with white water rafting through the mountains...the landscape is like...picture stallone going to south america in a lil blow up raft....and there you have it...villagers left and right..children swimming in the green water....our tour guide knew only to purposely drive us into the waterfalls....
today...i signed up for SCUBA!....full day of a solo lessons...i've got 2 dives under my belt...CAN'T believe i'm breathing underwater....shit!....and tomorrow...im completing 2 more dives to get my open water certificate..booya!....
going to see some native dance tomorrow....and volcano on saturday before i leave....no elephant riding--elephants aren't even native to bali...!...oh yea...i did the slingshot thing..alone...f'ing awesome...
i bought wayy too many postcards....if you want one...email me your address....im trying to constantly send them out as i go...
