Got back to Bali to take care of some business and am bored already. I miss those warungs where you eat with the people and don’t get your food in “tourist” portions. I noticed a new “warung” on Jalan Raya in Ubud called Hokkian Warung and decided to check it out.

Got a nice nice plate of fried rice and beef for 8,000 rupiah, less than 1 dollar US. First time I got Chinese food at a warung. (little roadside eatery) It was pretty good.

The situation in East Timor is tense at this time but I hope to be back there in a couple of weeks provided the border is not still closed. It is really a bummer that things there are not a little better. I don’t know the politics there that well and everything I say would be hearsay so I’ll leave it at that.
