Wanda SG

Sorry SL, I haven't been to Sanur, but will bump it up for others to notice. Razz

SydneyLibrarian SG

Thanks, Wanda, so nice of you Embarassed Smile I guess no one here's been there, else there'd be some mention of it... But that's alright, I'll just chill out at the hotel and occasionally venture out into the Village for some shopping Mr. Green

elindra SG

Maybe you can go and tell us what's nice there Mr. Green

Master -_- SG

er i have been to Sanur in 2000...thats 5 years ago.. i wonder if they still have the Grand Bali Beach Hotel i stayed in... Confused

In one word to describe Sanur is creepy... Neutral

Serious, i can't even sleep well at night knowing there are some things looking at me.. Neutral

elindra SG

What do you mean by the above Shocked

Master -_- SG

It reeks of black magic...

Even by the roadside, you can see a local exorcising another local Confused

Lucky, i stayed there for 3 days and 2 nites Mr. Green

Master -_- SG

there's a couple of experiences but heck, you are not even the person who is going... why the paranoia? Laughing

elindra SG

Not paranoid but kay poh want to know Laughing

Wanda SG

What did u do b4 the trip that you felt so paranoid then? Laughing

Balinese are predominantly Hindus, so expect to see their stone sculptures of idols and gods. Just respect them and side-step their offerings. It's not scary at all...in fact, Bali feels free....and you can have your yummy Bintang beer. Wink

Be sure to try The Macaroni Club at Jalan Legian No. 52, Kuta, Bali, 80361 Indonesia...the food is great and whats more the chef's a local....food is western and might have other kind...there's wines too Wink

and also try the The Living Room...i cant find the website(though there's a Living Room princeville,Bali but not the Living Room im talking abt)

ask locals where's the resturant is... Wink

SydneyLibrarian SG

Thanks, ceecookie, for the tips! Wink Unfortunately I read your thread a little too late Mr. Green Been there and back. Thoroughly enjoyed Sanur... stayed at the Mercure which was resort-style.. with the beach at my doorstep! So heavenly, we ladies went for the beach massage which was a new experience for me.

The locals were friendly, the food was yummy. Went to Jimbayan (sp?) Bay for dinner & took some pics, will post them up when I've sorted them out!

God i loved Bali..
But i wasn't in that area.

I was in.. erm.. god.. what is it called. Where is Novotel again? Gosh... that area was mostly family oriented resorts.

SydneyLibrarian SG

Hiya Ling Smile Family oriented resorts? Were you near Jimbaran Bay or something?

Lingos SG

Nope the other end of Jimbaran....
I thought Jimbaran is near Kuta which is where the party animals stayed.
I was at erm.. Nusa Dua!! That's it!!

There's a restaurant down the road from Novotel called Bambu Bali.
Goddarn the best food i've ever had!
So cheap too.. Amex card holders get 15% or was it 10% off.

Lingos SG

There's a place called Rainbow Beach.. where all the fashion mags send their models and photographers there for fashion shoots.
We saw a famous Aussie model but i am not fashion crazy so i didn't know her name...
Roxy or was it Ripcurl's ad was shot in Rainbow beach as well. It's a surf beach, very beautiful and very rustic. You can stay there for like... $9 a night right on the beach front. You get Bintangs and food for much cheaper.
However you gotta deal with the irritating vendors.. do you want massage... massage, NO NO NO NO NO.

I managed to get one of those embiodered loose Indian style tops for like AU$8.

Anyway definitely go to Bambu Bali that is the most famous restaurant in Bali.

ceecookie SG

that means u went for 3D2N?

Lingos SG

I AM SO GLAD YOU MADE IT THERE AND BACK.
There i was trying to convince someone to go to South east asia.
And they bomb the bleeding place again. I felt like an idiot saying it's safe!!
