Wake up at 8am and gedebak –gedebuk 9am kuar dari bilik. Day one in Bali, the weather is super duper hot and humid. We got ourselves a tour guide. Supir kami namanya Pak Made, a very typical Balinese guy..baik bangat. He drove us around in his Toyota Unser. My phone rang, a sms from someone me love most. Hehe First place was the market in Kuta Town. Mom warned us about a pot of flower with some crackers and fruits in it. Itu sebenarnye barang2 lepas diorang sembahyang. Bali is full with culture+religion, so before they start their day, every Hindu individual will pray at their nearest small temple or just worship their idols and put the flower pot in front of their premises. This is how the flower pot looks like. On to the journey of our first day in Bali, at the Kuta Town ape lagi nak buat? Shopping~! Bought a couple of Bali t-shirts for my plant design group (korang..aku abis duit tau belikan untuk korang..tapi janji tetap janji..). We walked and took a lot of pictures. Admiring the uniqueness of Bali compared to our previous visit to Jakarta and Bandung. Their ancient culture, the sculpture, the art, the people was amazing.

Don’t let me start about their food. Before the shopping spree, we had our brunch at Rumah Makan Minang CCA. When talking about returning back to your own root, minang has the best dish to offer.After a wonderful day at the Kuta Town (not really wonderful because of the sun and the extreme humidity make us sweat like pigs), we when to Tanah Lot. It is one of the tourist attractions. Tanah Lot is a temple near the beach where you can enjoy the best view of the sunset.
Lepas dah romantik2 kat laut tu, we decided to get our dinner at the best seafood restaurant in Bali. Enjoying seafood at the beach ( I meant really at the sandy beach).We had dinner at Segera Seafood in Jimbaran. We had prawns, squids, more prawns and lobster.

After the feast, we headed back to the hotel. Slept early cus super exhausted and need to gain energy for tomorrow activities.
