Today, for my last full day in Bali, I really tried to take in the neighborhood and culture. It was a beautiful, sunny morning so I took the easy 20 minute walk to the beach and soaked in the sun. Semenyak Beach is beautiful and I kind of wish I had stayed here for the entire week in Bali. As the rain clears and Bali enters their summer season, I know I will be back. Of the 10 new countries I have visited in the last year, Indonesia and Thailand are at the top of the list to visit again. And that's considering how humid it gets and how easily I sweat, lol!

Awesome, Cliff - Annyeonghaseyo!! Hopefully you’ve read, or at least heard about, MacArthur’s famous behind enemy lines 1950 Inchon Landing, which saved South Korea in the war! I hope/assume you’ll make it to the BIG city and, if there’s time, I’d recommend a tour of Panmunjom at the DMZ. It’s right across the line from the North Korea in a very stressful setting. Either way, enjoy some bulgogi and real ramen!! Back in the day, street food offerings I enjoyed included a bag of fried shrimp for about 100 won, which was equivalent to $.25! I don’t know the exchange rate these days but I’m sure that price is gone up as with everything else. Enjoy the rest of your trip and safe travels when you finally head home!!
ReplyDeleteHey Son, great pictures of south Korea! Cool to read what uncle Gary wrote. You guys will have more to talk about once you get home. Can't wait to see you!, love you
ReplyDeleteI’ve missed your pictures the last several days. Looks like no shortage of food or shopping. I hope you’re having a great time. I know you’re probably trying. Lots of new foods. Enjoy!
