ubud, bali

this is one of those places that is touristy for a reason.... it's amazing :D i feel i could stay a couple of months! great atmosphere and fantastic landscape all around with lush rice paddies and traditional villages :) no wonder there is such a big community of foreigners living here, it's really great! there's everything to make everyone happy :) and this is greatly why bali is so famous! you can get a great 2h massage with a flower bath and a facial for less than 10 euros.... a pedicure with half an hour massage for 2.5 euros... and a brownie for 60 cents :D yumm! there's illy coffee next to local stalls selling the normal nasi goreng and mie goreng (fried rice and fried noodles) and evian water on supermarkets for 15x the price of local water ;) there are amazing yoga classes and a meeting of 100 yoga teachers for world peace next saturday!! :) and you can learn indonesian cuisine, indonesian language, balinese dance, hinduism, buddhism, batik, shadow puppeteer, and all sorts of other things around town ;) there's also rafting close by :) and all of that makes this place... perfect!

ubud is the place to be :) i have an amazing room as big as the house i lived in when i did my erasmus in toulouse, with pancake, fruit salad and perfect javanese coffee in the morning :) the place is owned by a sweet family that takes care of the garden with the temple and the beautiful birds :)

loving it!
