Bali and Technorati
We have been experimenting with feeds… a dip into Technorati’s blog ocean, a search on ‘Bali’, brought up several interesting tidbits such as the following…
“Life is never boring in Indo… Even just hanging around Kuta the ‘safe’ town in Bali that’s the base for more exotic missions and the place you return to for some good old fashioned civilisation when you’ve been on a feral mission somewhere else can be full of pitfalls. Literally. Want to know what it’s like to fall into an open sewer? Kuta is the place. No red tape and warning signs around broken paving stones there, just a big hole, fine in the daytime when you can see it… lethal when you are pissed up on cheap booze at night and the street lights aren’t working. Equally the dogs- look nasty and rabid during the day, at night to your drunk ass they are cute puppies that need stroking… still rabid though. Want to know what it’s like getting chased by a gang of men with machetes? Then be a drunk asshole in Kuta. No matter who you are, how clean living and decent your character you will get pulled into the Kuta vortex. I was travelling there with the editor of one of the Brits magazines twelve years ago (an upright sober fellow if there ever was one) and after a particularly messy night I lost him for three days. No idea where he’d got to. I saw Mole on the third morning and he’d thought he’d seen him ‘looking confused’ on the other side of the island. Turns out he had. Weird things happen over there. On the way back from G-Land I saw an overturned coach in a ditch with bleeding injured people hanging out of smashed windows, our driver wouldn’t stop so we could help, I asked if the ambulances would be there soon, he replied there were no ambulances… Life is cheap there, that’s what happens when you firmly believe in reincarnation.” From… http://surfphoto.co.uk/
Kasi’s hat is off to RSSDoodle and The Lessnau Lounge for this plug-in. We will have a post once every week with bits from Technorati!
