So, Bali was a tremendously amazing trip! The long flights over were half the fun, because we flew business class on Qatar and I have honestly never traveled so poshly in my life. I can't believe people get to travel this way all the time! I mean, I got to basically lay in my seat that turned in to a bed, in provided jammies and watch the Hobbit while ordering warm cookies and champagne. It was ridiiiiiiiiiiiiculous. I loved every minute of it.
Bali was overwhelming to the senses - mostly in a good way. With all of the prayer offerings, there is incense burning and flowers EVERYWHERE and it's beautiful, but you don't realize the lack of fresh air until you're looking for it. I loved it. There were monkeys outside of our villa, elephants to be played with, delicious food to eat and so many interesting sights to see. Ubud is such a lovely, art-filled town. We saw some massive waves at the ocean and I can see why Bali is a surfer's paradise. I was just in awe at the countryside and the people and the colors.
It was a quick week and we saw a lot, but also relaxed a lot and just all in all had a great time. I'm incredibly grateful that the experience was presented to me.
Now it's back to reality where nobody brings me warm rose-water towels or warm cookies. *sobs*
BUT it means it's time to dive into all the fun summer movies. Tomorrow night is Star Trek and I want to jump out of my skin with excitementttttttttt! I won't, since that would make for uncomfortable movie viewing but still. I'm listening to the soundtrack preview on iTunes at the moment and it's sounding great. FUNFUNFUN! I think from now through the end of July there's something good to see every week. *pops popcorn*
The Doctor Who finale is Saturday, the Killing starts up in a couple of weeks and Veep is back. All is right in the world.
