My Departure to Jakarta, Happy Ending in Korea.

I'm at the Ngurah Rai Bali airport now, enjoying my cup of coffee and holding myself not to yell to Lion Air bcos my flight got delayed for two hours. I'm flying back to Jakarta for a bit to deal with my paper works and guess what. Pickle and Onion are bringing this blog to Korea!

Yeah you read it right. Me and Aaron will travel to Korea to see our friend Lance. We will make a stop in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, for a couple of days before Korea. From Kuala Lumpur, we will fly to Seoul and take a train, or bus, or whatever it will be to Daejon, South Korea, where Lance lives.

Now, what I gotta do when I land my feet in Jakarta is.. wait for my brother to scoop me up and take me home and go to bed.. Doh. After that, I'll deal with all the paper works and get it done and wait for Aaron to come to Jakarta on 27th of September and fly our asses to Malaysia. He got the Jakarta ticket already. We are one step closer to Korea. New place, new adventure, same old stupid bitches (thats us).

Get ready for us, Korea!

Gilimanuk Culture Trip

Ibu (lady) - our landlord, asked us if we want to join them for a trip to Gilimanuk. There will be a ceremony there, she said. We went on hours and hours of bus ride with a group of Balinese people to the first and second oldest temple in Bali. To honor the culture and religion, we wear traditional Balinese costume. The road trip was exhausting but fun at the same time. This time it's not just me and Aaron. We have a friend coming over from California and she'll stay here in Bali for one month with us. Meet Jessica Brodeen, everyone.

Bus ride! - Aaron is looking good with traditional Balinese costume! Ha I can't believe I just said that.

After 3 hours of bus ride, we finally arrived at the first temple of Bali.

Another bus ride to the second oldest temple in Bali. We drove through a forest and we found a very beautiful beach after going 45 minutes through the forest.

Love,

Pickle.

Ubud Woo Hoo!

We went on another road trip and this time we went to Ubud to see monkeys in Monkey Forest. I've been in Bali for 6 months already but I've never been there before. Lame, I know. So yeah we went there and saw these beautiful forest with 600+ grey monkeys inside.

We suppose to pay Rp20.000,- to get inside the forest but somehow when we passed the front gate they didn't ask for any money. Aaron grabbed a banana and put it on his shoulder so the monkeys will climb to him and it was a huge success. You need to watch your purse and things though because these monkeys can be very curious. There was a pond there and we saw 4 monkeys playing with water while taking a bath. It was quite a show! We explore the forest and saw this beautiful bridge, feels like I was in a chinese colosal movie scene lol. No joke.

Then we went to a temple inside the Monkey Forest and chill there for a bit while getting Aaron's Bahasa Indonesia lesson going.. That's until a group of monkeys came towards us and we ran away.

We continue exploring and found a rice field there. Beside the rice field, there was an abandoned tree house. It was suppose to be a tree house cafe but seems like the business shuts down. We went in there to check it out and we wrote "Priska and Aaron was here" on the wall to mark our trip. We looked at the rice field, it was beautiful with the sun shining and giving a superb effect on the rice field. We went through it and found a restaurant called.. Um.. I forget. We spent a couple of hours there drinking bali coffee and banana juice while having one of the most interesting conversation me and Aaron ever had. We make our way back home.. and got a ticket from a police officer cos I ran off a traffic light and that cost me 50k. Damn it!
