And the Adventure Begins.....

Kuta's only a 2 hour flight from Singapore.
Where Bear stayed, the Kuta Seaview Cottage, a twin-share little cottage thing (like a chalet thing) is US$38 a night.

Bear kept score - 1st night: 11 - 11
2nd night: 13 - 9
3rd night: 14 -12
4th night: 10 - 10
They are the touts and sleazy people who are everywhere... the first number is the number of times (exclusive, not repeated ) the sleazy fellas offered "you want woman.. pretty girl" the 2nd number is the number of times (again different people) the sleazy people offered drugs from weed to speed to eccies and heroin all were turned down (of course) and the sleazy fellas were ignored




There are many shrines in Kuta...

but mostly, Kuta is famed for their beaches.. and.. wow...


and not forgetting that a tragic event happened there.. they have a memorial for the fallen which is still visited, and tributes placed daily.. the Bear went and said a silent prayer for the lost souls...


near the end of the day, the beach is a wonderful place to be.. a romantic place for couples...


or if you just want to be alone with your thoughts, deep in contemplation...


this was the Bear's temporary cave when he was at Kuta... just across the road from the beach

Walking around Kuta, signs of "Americanisms"; abound!
Starbucks are everywhere!


but mostly from Hard Rock Cafe.. since Bush won, Bear decided not to go (just kidding ) but mostly, Bear figured HRCs are overrated.. still, he took pics
Walking around Kuta, signs of "Americanisms"; abound!
Starbucks are everywhere!



but even from HRC, some wisdom comes through.. even if it was written by The Beatles


There's even a street with all the huge brands there!


but this Bear would rather do his shopping in these places


Wandering along the beach, Bear came across a bunch of people with a wonderful job...The Beach Patrol


Then there were people trying to flog stuff to you when you're on the beach


Bear never figured out what these fellas with their pink outriggers were up to...


Bear then went wandering around town and as aforementioned, there were many shrines around.. they were very ornate..


Bear came across this shop that made and sold musical instruments..


The boss of the place is a friendly dude.. his name is Agus.. he gives free drumming lessons in the evening for anyone who cares to drop


There are also alternative transportation in Kuta
