not a lot has happened since my last blog besides finding a house. unfortunately, i won't be making it to padangbai for my yoga retreat for a few more weeks :( with having to pay rent, motorbike rental etc and all the panic of trying to find somewhere to live it's just not happening!
verena has been really sick the last few days so we took her to the hospital this morning - she is being tested for malaria and dengue fever. she may just have a throat infection but her temperature is a bit high to be just an infection. hopefully she is ok - she is still looking for a house and has moved with me for denpasar.
in bali there are sometimes buskers - not like buskers back home though. they walk around with a big speaker and sometimes a microphone strapped to them and will just break into song in front of a warung or something similiar. i have only seen them around the local areas though, which is weird - wouldn't you go where the tourists are so you get more money? anyway, we saw one yesterday dressed up in a FULL BLOWN pink teletubby suit. i have attached a picture for your viewing pleasure.
the road i live on now is full of koskosans (traditional houses) and local families - i am the only bule that lives there. there is a paddock where there are some cows that just seem to roam freely around - i saw a mother and her calf just walked up my road outside a house today.
due to money being tight this pay period, i plan to spend the rest of the week in my room reading, sleeping and doing assignments. and that doesn't sound too bad to me!
a short entry cos i don't have a lot to say, hope all is well and WYWH!!! xxx
