We are Part-Local

March 29th & 30th, 2015

Kafe with my cutie!

Ubud market! Down where the locals shop. Got so much stuff for like 5 bucks.

As the days go by we feel more and more like locals but our peace has been interrupted in the last few days. As the Bali Spirit Festival approaches, tourist from all around the world are making their way to Bali but it feels like they're all migrating to Ubud.  

So all of a sudden, like literally overnight they decided to hop on a tour bus and ALL make there way to Ubud JUST to piss us off. Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating but seriously bus after bus are dropping them off by the hundreds and they're sooooo DAMN lost. It's the blind leading the fricken blind out here.

How can we tell you might ask yourself? Well let me tell you because it's quite simple actually. And let's keep in mind that certain tourist are worse than others.

One, they always have to be in groups of atleast 10 or more.

Two, they all have their selfie sticks out and ready to take a picture of themselves or the group, which they could stop and do at any given second. Meaning don't ever get caught walking behind one of these monstrosities because they WILL get in your way, ON PURPOSE!

Three, when we go to our usual stores or restaurants.... There they are being loud, in the way and taking just about every seat in the place.

Four, walk on the damn sidewalks! That's what they're for! Don't walk on the street because guess what! Next time I'm riding my bike on the street and you're not on the sidewalk, I'm pile driving you with my bicyclette.

Five, we're not the only ones frustrated here, the locals hate it just as much because they're in the way and they don't buy anything, so really they're just wasting everyone's time including their own.

Six, have you ever been out of your house? Who taught you how to be in public anyway?

Seven, useless... Enough said.

Now that you know that this is our biggest problem at the moment, there's one reason to be happy you're home and not here. Other than that you may resume being jelly of our trip Ha! Or you can come join anytime! 

But really other than this were still in the "doing nothing with ourselves" mode, so not much else to say here! See ya!

Ps: Its the time of the month so this may explain the above rant about the tourist, sorry but not sorry :)

Tanning it up! Prime time.

One of our best meals yet! Veggie Table, we will be back!

A bientot,
