I was listening to Redgum just the other day:

Qantas flight 20, denpasar, meals and accom', rent-a-car
I've been to bali, i've been to bali too

Took a two week course at a suntan clinic
So lying round legian and i wouldn't look anaemic
And you can't impress me, 'cause i've been to bali too

Got a ride out to kuta in the back of a truck
Cost me twenty dollars and it wasn't worth a buck
Hustled to a losman down poppies lane
By a javanese guy in a tropical rainstorm
Lock up your daughters, i've been to bali too

Life is tragic hanging out at kuta
If you haven't got a car, a bike or a scooter
Show me the bike shop, i've been to bali too

Got myself a honda, had to get away
No brakes, bald tyres, five thousand rupes a day
I've been to bali too

Well i don't ride a bike much home in australia
As a motorcycle hero guess i'm a failure
Bemos to the left, trucks to the right
The honda was a wreck but i was alright
Hello mecurochrome, i've been to bali too

Wired home for money, short of cash
A dose of bali belly and a tropical rash
Daddy came through
American express
Bali t-shirts, magic mushrooms, redgum bootlegs
I've been to bali too

Took my bag and mozzie coils to peliatan
It's there were my bali trip really began
Been there, done that, i've been to bali too

Tourists from holland, britain and france
Late night puppet shows, leg on dance
Want to see my slides, i've been to bali too

Well i wandered off to ubud, just a little up the track
One week there didn't want to come back
Listening to gamelon playing guitar
Janteris, tacos, hotel menara, two month visa
I've been to bali too.

Flying kangaroo out of denpasar, left

Hi Jenny

I thought I was brave when it came to sampling new cuisine, but you are definitely braver than me!

btw - I like your profile picture, it's very traditional !

So would I !

I've heard about a coffee made from beans eaten and excreted by monkeys, but never by wildcats.

This coffee is supposedly the most expensive in the world. They say the monkey's digestive system processes the coffee and gives it a much nicer flavor.

One wonders how this fact was ever discovered in the first place!

Hi Jenny

Is this the volcano you saw?

It's called Mt. Batur, and is in the north of the island:

Here’s a link to photos I took in September last year in Bali:

I went to Bali last year.

Loved it too!

Maybe I'll try posting some of my photos

I was wondering when the travelling around the world series would get to Indonesia. My wife is an ethnic Chinese from Jakarta

Some of the scripts to the original Star Trek series were written by good Sci-Fi writers, like Ray Bradbury, rather than by Hollywood hacks.

sounds like a fantastic experience!

I'd love to spend 3 months touring China, but couldn't afford to be away from work that long.

Gotta stay close to my treadmill, so I can keep churning out those $$ !

The particle 'de' 的 has other uses besides forming a possessive.

In some contexts it can be translated as 'the one', or 'the one which'

for example:

Which ball did you buy? = Ni mai le na ge qiu? - 你买了哪个球？

The answer could be: 红色的 - hong se de
meaning - the red one
