Golden sake and waves of the Indian Ocean

Sitting in a restaurant in Kuta, Bali. Waves of the Indian Ocean rolling in at the beach across the street. I have just imported the last few pictures from my camera, so here is a little selection:


Kai brought me a bottle of sake with gold flakes in it. Somewhere between awesome and tacky. But the taste was great. And with the aid of some beer and whiskey, we also achieved the goal of getting awesomely drunk.


Afternoon smoko outside the office container.


Kai and Esther are working with slightly different tasks.


Esther and me on the ferry to Pulau Pangkor the other weekend. Kai is to my left, right outside the picture and he is snoring, buta mitai yo, kai-kun! Be relieved that I didn't publish the picture I took up your nostrils Kai!


Here is the entrance to the weird temple I mentioned in my blog after the first time I went to Pangkor. Esther and Kai were able to interpret the archaic Chinese text and told me it was dedicated to Kwanon, the Bodhisattva of Compassion.


TV tower in Kuala Lumpur and in the background the Petronas Towers. Not too many years ago, they where the tallest buildings in the world.

Last Saturday evening was spent drinking in Lumut. I got on the bus to KL at midnight, with the scariest driver ever. Don't know if he was high, drunk or extremely tired, probably a combination. Buses here do have a bit of a bad rep. Anyway, I arrived in KL after four in the morning and spent a few hours at the bus terminal before a got on the airport couch. And now I am on Bali and it is time for some serious surfing!
