The New and Improved Island of the Gods

When I landed at Denpasar, I was momentarily confused.  What happened to the airport?  It was all shiny and new with modern conveniences, like that sensor on the baggage carousel.  Although progress is usually nice, I kind of missed the statues, gamelan music and incense at the old airport.  It didn’t speed up my process … Continue reading »
