Take Me Home, James!
In this day of Uber and Lyft, I rarely use taxis any more. Unfortunately for me, Uber and Lyft have been banned in Thailand and Bali. If there’s anything I hate more, it’s arguing with taxi drivers who refuse to turn on their meters. I understand that taxi drivers are averse to Uber and Lyft, … Continue reading
It’s Saturday – It Must be Seminyak
I was up kind of early on Saturday, not wanting to to wait too long to leave Ubud. Quite frankly, the longer I wait to leave Ubud, the more difficult it is. I didn’t have a driver, so simply walked outside the hotel to find a couple of guys hanging out there. They asked if … Continue reading

Whereas, in the past, Honeymoon Guesthouse would serve breakfast on your terrace at … Continue reading
