Good Morning people!

On January 27th, me and my travel mate (Rani) just went to Bali. It was our first time to go Bali as backpacker or traveler (with low cost ofc). We had so wonderful time there because we were in Bali just with friend (Elizabeth). She kindly let us to stay at her house. Due to we're labeled as backpackers (or amateur backpackers), we chose the lowest cost that we could and thats why we had to stop at Pasar Turi Station first which is located in Surabaya, then we took plane at Juanda Airport in the morning (05.50 AM). so in rush!

That morning did not feel the same as usual, i felt scared to go Bali by plane since the air crash was on hot news. But i faced it. We arrived safely Alhamdulillah at Bali. We spent 10 days there. Jimbaran is where Eliz's house located. Its location is strategic, there are many beaches spotted near there, lets say Jimbaran beach which is famous for the romantic dinner on sunset. You can get confused with the list of food, there are many menus for delicious ones

Uluwatu which is a temple and it also has its beach. Many foreigners or local people say Uluwatu is a challenging beach to surf for the experts because of the heavy waves. You will see a lot of monkeys there so watchout your stuffs like glasses or mineral water (literally), they took our bottles! well actually because we let them to do so :( we were afraid! or just me.....

Balangan beach. I love this one. In Balangan , you can find white sand and peace because its quite there , you can hear the sound of waves. Cocok buat galau and guess what! the sunset is unexpectedly so beautiful there, a foreigner guy recommended that place to watch sunset.

 Dreamland beach. It's a bit crowded there, but my friend said the gradation color of the waves is so good there like blue and green beautifully. still nice, at all.

GWK. i was wondering how was the kecak dance, and while GWK is close to our place to stay so we went there. we stayed there to watch every performance about each 1,5 hours or so. We watched 4 performances, and the last performance was kecak dance! great one.

Padang-padang beach. this beach is my favorite among all. i just love the view there and the surroundings. it is a right beach to swim (i think).

Kuta beach. HAHAHAHHAHAH lemme laughing. we went there everyday! or almost exactly. for what? Elizabeth said banyak bule disana yg bisa di ajak kenalan :'D she met many there! but we just chitchat with 1, from Canada, chit chat a bit.

Sanur beach. Dunno how we got there. Ibeth said itu pantai buat org tua lol. but its true. so many bule tua aahahahhah. People go to Sanur usually to take a ship and going to Lembongan, it's a cool island.

Pandawa beach. I love Pandawa!! there are cliffs there hahahah are they even called cliffs?! just meh ok. the beach is amazing. i talked to 2 locals, her names are Desi and Dewi and i couldnt believe it was also their first time to be in Pandawa. I asked their favorite beach, Kuta they said. ok then.

I love all crazy stuffs we did there. We laughed so much, were awake till 3 am and did nothing haha. we talked to 2 guys which were from Rusia and Greece. they're so nice. both love traveling. I remember it well when they said they love traveling and stay for long time in a place, many things they learned such as the culture, the language, the habits. ah i love to hear it. they also shared to us how life is in europe, whats so different with the people, the different weather, and many more!

That's all! Rani and I have plan to do traveling again on the next semester, hope everything goes well and will always be! :))

Wassalamualaikum!
