I'm too hot to think of a song lyric title...

I'm finally here! And it is awesome. Completely. I don't even know where to start.
Just because I'm pushed for time, due to the fact that this connection is costing me money, I can't really go into a lot of detail - but I'll just give a few impressions of my first few days (it feels like longer, this heat tends to do that)

 

1) Balinese people are lovely. Especially the ones at our hotel - they always have a smile for us, and their English is so good. It doesn't leave much room for us to practice though ... we'll have to try harder
2) There are very limited road rules and very crazy drivers, I would not like to drive here...
3) We are very odd 19-year-olds. Possibly the youngest foreigners in Ubud, as most of the younger ones are in Kuta partying it up. Not my idea of fun. Having said that, we're both enjoying the freedom of being away from our cars and thus being able to try all a few different alcoholic drinks.
4) We've had a pretty great run with food, both local and Western - let's hope this can keep up

To be honest, i'm too tired to keep going with this so if there's anything you want to know specifically - comment or facebook me and ask!

If only I were there to join you in your odd party-less ways...I'm glad you're having a great time :)

That said, however, life's been fairly uneventful and coffeeless without you here :P (Except for my first cup from my new plunger :D) So by all means enjoy yourself, but if you try to extend your stay past a month I'm afraid I shall have to fly over and drag you back. Sorry about that ;)

Look, you were invited... ish XD
We are all such strange 19-year-olds

Well, technically I'm staying more than a month...
And i'd bet if you tried to drag me back you'd end up staying :P
