So we went to Bali. I've never wanted to go to Bali. I always thought of it as the Aussie equivalent of Magaluf – think rowdy drunk Brits who's only intention is to get trashed every night, and a city that has dedicated its existence to facilitating this. (You may recall my dislike for such places from my post about Vang Vieng, Laos!) Ultimately Bali was not somewhere that had ever interested me and yet that is where I booked for my latest adventure. My partner kept telling me that Bali was an Aussie institution and that I had to go once before I made my mind up. That coupled with the fact it was so cheap compared to anywhere in Australia (which is disappointing as there is so much of Australia I have yet to see – but I'll save my gripes about how expensive Australia is for a different post!) saw me book 7 nights in Seminyak, the 'trendy/more upmarket' region of Bali (as opposed to Kuta) as a little reward for finishing uni (again). Ultimately I was surprised by what I found, but not in the way you might imagine.
As departure day approached I really wasn't excited. To be honest, I still didn't really want to go to Bali – but I was looking forward to being on holiday again. We landed around 11pm into a modern, clean Denpasar airport. Passport control was painless and free – for me at least. My British passport guaranteed no visa fee (you probably wouldn't be surprised in how many countries that is the case) whereas my partner and his Aussie passport took at $35USD cash hit for his 'visa on arrival.' We used the registered taxi desk to book a cab to our hotel – who overcharged us because they had never heard of the place – TIP: make sure you have the address printed out for them or you may see the advertised price skyrocket! – and arrived at our hotel to the smiling faces of the security guard and reception staff.
We stayed at Destiny Boutique Hotel – a one year old, modern art-deco styled hotel, where the rooms were as beautiful as the pictures on the website and the staff friendly, helpful and accommodating. It was located within 20 minutes walk of Seminyak Sqaure in one direction and the main Supermarket in the other, 5 minutes to the beach and walking distance to many great restaurants. Whilst not prefect, it was a great base and you can read my full review here.
We had been told that Seminyak had some great restaurants, and with my partner being a chef, he had come armed with a list of places to go. We reviewed the list, googled the restaurants (yay for the internet) to check menus and pricing, and found that a lot of what had been recommended was Western or European inspired food. I was disappointed. After travelling through SE Asia, it had always been the case that western food was the minority, something that we treated ourselves to after a couple of months eating rice and noodles, or if we wanted a taste of home. Seminyak, it seemed, touted international cuisine as a prize, a badge of honour even, rather than celebrating traditional, local dishes.
I felt sad. It cemented my view that Seminyak, and Bali in general was subservient to the Aussie's and their needs/wants. But this makes sense. As Australia provides the majority of Bali's tourism dollars, it absolutely understandable for the Balinese to tailor their environment to please their Australian visitors. But it still made me sad. I love SE Asia because of their culture, their lifestyle and their steadfast celebration of their way of life and traditions in the face of foreign visitors. I just didn't get that vibe in Bali and honestly, it caused an argument between myself and my partner – who was horrified when he asked why I didn't seem to be enjoying myself and I voiced my opinion. His response was that the people are just so lovely – which is not something I denied, but I countered with the fact we had had to google what religion the locals were after three days. It just wasn't clear. Any sign of religion, tradition or culture was either non-existant or hidden between shiny new hotels, spas and top rated eateries.
But on the subject of top rated eateries, my word did we have some amazing food that week! We hunted down the best Indonesian restaurants in the area including Bambu, Mamasan, Lilin and Kilo. We actually ate at more fine dining restaurants in a week than we would in a year in Melbourne – and for half the price! We often shared multiple dishes over two courses with cocktails and beer for around $100AUD. My personal favorite being a candy floss cocktail at Mamasan and Wasabi Tuna Tartare at Kilo. If you love your food, check out my Foodie Tour of Seminyak post.
Despite my not loving Bali, one thing you can guarantee as with anywhere in SE Asia are the massage and spa joints behind every other storefront. I was a little hesitant of those on the street with the people calling 'you want massage' each and every time you walked past after reading some very dodgy reviews online and I spent a while researching which one to go to. Don't get me wrong – I wasn't looking for a 5 star spa experience, just something reasonably priced that was in a nice setting with good masseurs. There were a raft of 4-5* day spa's, often only slightly cheaper than their Australian counterparts, but I wasn't willing to pay those prices where an hour massage was advertised at around $7-10AUD elsewhere. I was hoping for some happy middle ground!
We tried two massage joints when we were there – one kerbside on one of the main streets near our hotel – Home Base Spa and one located on the 5th floor of a neighboring hotel – De Nyuh Spa.
Home Base Spa provided a good, no frills hour long Balinese Massage for around $8.50 AUD. Functional, basic salon, good pressure from the masseurs and a relaxing experience.
De Nyuh Spa however was in a class of its own. I cannot rate this place highly enough. We initially walked on a mid-week day afternoon looking to try their 75 minute hot stone massage and it was the best decision we made all holiday.
The hot stone massage was the best massage I have ever had – in Bali and the rest of the world – and was so so relaxing. The combination of pressure from the therapists and the use of the stones is perfect. The brochure/menu advised the massage has a 'soothing effect on your emotions' and they are not wrong – It's hard to describe the feeling a hot stone massage leaves you with – happy, lovely, peaceful, relaxed, rejuvenated – take your pick!
When finished with the massage we were presented with slices of watermelon and ginger tea and were so impressed with the whole experience we grabbed the menu and decided to book in for a pamper day on our last day.
I had the Maximum Sensation package (1 hour Balinese massage, body scrub, facial, hair treatment, manicure and pedicure – 3-4 hours costing $50AUD and my partner had the four hands Balinese massage ($17AUD) Body scrub ($12AUD) and foot massage ($10AUD) each treatment lasting an hour each.
Each treatment was fantastic and I would highly recommend this spa to anyone – much cheaper than the 5* advertised places and outstanding quality and service. Just amazing.

We had two absolutely amazing days out whilst in Seminyak – the first was a day spent at Sundara by Four Seasons in Jimbaran Bay & the second at Waterbom in Kuta.
Not widely known to the public, you can hire a day bed at Sundara for $100AUD with $60AUD food credit included (a night a the Four Season's itself would set you back around $900-1000AUD!) Throughout the day you can enjoy their 57m crystal clear infinity pool which itself overlooks Jimbaran Bay, unlimited bottled water, fruit platter, sunglasses cleaning service (my sunglasses have never been so clean!!) unlimited fluffy white beach towels – which are changed mid-way through the day whilst you are in the pool! and every hour a member of staff walks round with some form of treat – be it a frozen fruity icy-pole, popcorn or sampler from the restaurant. At the end of the day there are also beautiful showers complete with shampoo/conditioners/shower gel and towels available to use to freshen up if you are planning on heading straight out rather than return to your accommodation. The food, albeit pricey, was great – the Jimbaran Prawns a must try – and the Red Fruits Mojito – again expensive – but oh so very very nice.

We thoroughly enjoyed our day at Waterbom, it was such great fun and we were pleased with both the cashless system and cheap secure lockers. You get a wristband on arrival ($5AUD deposit) and can add money to it to use throughout the park – there are no cash transactions anywhere in Waterbom so you can lock your wallet away without worrying. The lockers are $25AUD (plus $35AUD deposit) and are secured electronically with a chip in a second waterproof wristband and any money left at the end is refunded when you leave the park.
The slides are fun, varied and extremely safe and we didn't have to queue for long for anything. The park is also very clean – we walked around barefoot all day (although the floor can be hot so be careful) and there is a variety of food and drinks available which are not extortionately priced.

Always use the meter!! The main taxi company is the Bluebird Group and their drivers are required to always use the meter. If someone tells you theirs is broken – just wait for another cab. They are every second car and beep as the approach you and then again as they go past – just in case you have changed your mind! The drivers are friendly and happy to chat and we didn't come across any who 'took the long way round' to increase the fare.
exchanging money
We always travel with a pre-loaded travel card and withdraw local currency throughout each trip. This has always meant we get a good exchange rate for each and every cash withdrawl (we don't use it as a card for purchases as that incurs extra fees) rather than risking dodgy exchange booths, but this is the first time we have not come out ahead. I would highly recommend taking cash and shopping around the various exchanges for the best rate. In this instance, it was always better than what the card gave us. But as ever, be vigilant, count the cash twice, three times if necessary and don't hand over the cash/walk away if you do not feel comfortable. A good habit to get into is to allow the cashier to count the cash out for you, and then you recount it in front of them. Do not allow them to take it back after your count as this is where the slight of hand theft often occurs, – it may be they want to put it in an envelope or some other excuse, but do not give it back – and where possible ask for a receipt or for them to write down the transaction/calculations as to how they got to the final figure.
Government Tax and Service Charge
Wherever you go in Bali, all restaurant/drinks prices will be subject to a 10% Government Tax and a service charge that ranges from 7%-11%. Always check if these prices are included before sitting down, as it may come as a bit of a shock when you get the bill and you had not accounted for the extra 20%. Because of the mandatory service charge, I did not tip anything extra, but this was my personal preference and does not mean that you cannot tip. The general consensus (from lots of internet research) is that tipping is not expected on top of the service charge – but any tip is certainly very much appreciated.
The Verdict
Although I didn't really want to go to Bali, and was disappointed with the 'Aussie' focus, I did actually enjoy our trip and would certainly go back. Especially now I know exactly what to expect. I suspect had I not travelled throughout other SE Asian destinations, I would have fallen in love with Bali and the things that bothered me on this trip wouldn't have been a consideration. After all, the people are genuinely lovely, it is way cheaper than any Australian holiday destination, and you can find everything you could ever want – from 5* cuisine by exciting, innovative chefs to designer (real, not fake!) shops (at the same price as Australia); the ability to have a massage a day for less than $10AUD and the usual cheap holiday trinkets as keepsakes.
Seminyak is a great place for a holiday. Just don't go thinking its your typical SE Asian destination, accept that the Aussies are their target market and enjoy every beautiful sunset you can.
Heading to Bali but don't fancy staying in Seminyak – Ubud may be the town for you! And if you want to get away from Bali altogether, but still want to go to Indonesia, Raja Ampat is a practically untouched island paradise that is just waiting to be explored!
Happy Travels 🙂

Brexit and the refugee crisis are threatening the European dream.
It has been 25 years since 12 members of the European Community signed the Maastricht Treaty in Maastricht, Netherlands on February 7, 1992, paving the way for today's European Union and the Euro currency.
The agreement was part of a post-World War II dream in much of Europe to unite the continent and end the possibility of another devastating war.
Today, the EU has 28 member states, a population of about half a billion and an internal market that makes up a fifth of global GDP.
But the union is also facing its biggest challenges since inception.
Britons voted to leave and a refugee crisis triggered by war and instability in neighbouring countries and in parts of Africa have reignited nationalist passions.
TRT World's Sarah Morice has this look at the state of the union on the 25th anniversary of its inception.

My mother in law kept Emma last night along with my oldest niece. Emma said they had so much fun. It was the first time they slept in the "spare" room at my in laws. They got up this morning and made cinnamon rolls and then made homemade chocolate chip cookies! Yumm!
On Friday, in Emma's school folder that she brings home every day there was a letter from her teacher saying she was picked to be the Star Student for the week! She was sooooo excited about this! I was kinda disapointed because it's a whole week long event, and the teacher knows she isn't going to be there all week because of our trip. But oh well, we'll make the best of it! So she had to write a book about herself, and she has to bring in her favorite toy, awards, pictures and any other memoribilia that is special to her. She wrote the book. And now she is currently emptying her entire room bringing it into the living room and telling us how special everything is to her and that she wants to bring it all to school. LOL We're trying to narrow it down to just a *couple* of things! So she also gets to choose a friend to eat lunch in the classroom with the teacher! She's pretty excited about that too!
For lunch today Emma wanted grilled cheese sandwiches. I think she could eat them every.single.day. She asked if she could help make them, and I told her yes. She asked if she could even use the stove. I wasn't too sure about that part but I let her use it a little.
She was pretty proud of herself for making the grilled cheese! Nothing better for lunch on a cold Sunday afternoon than a hot sandwich, chips and chocolate milk! Yumm!
Now we're hanging out watching the New England Patriots, and I have to work tonight. Ugghh. That's how I feel about that today. I work tonight and then tomorrow and then I am officially on vacation for 13 days =)

|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Repeated Use of Hands-and-Knees
The intervention was repeated use of hands-and-knees position during labour. Participants were asked to try it for at least 15 minutes every hour, from randomization until delivery. They were not required to use it for delivery.
Other: Repeated hands-and-knees positioning during labour
Details are in the Arm Description.
No Intervention: Usual care
Participants were asked to refrain from using hands-and-knees position at any time from randomization to delivery. They were free to use any other position.
Detailed Description:
Women were enrolled in the pilot randomized controlled trial at two hospitals, one in Canada and one in the USA. Nurses at both hospitals were trained in how to assist women into the hands-and-knees position in bed. Repeated hands-and-knees position was defined as attempts to use the position for 15 minutes, hourly from randomization until delivery. Women were not asked to assume hands-and-knees for delivery.

Donnie Madia, Publican Quality Meats, Blackbird, Avec, Big Star, and the Violet Hour co-owner and operator, is relaxing at:
Poetry Foundation I try to get out of my element because I live for work, and when I'm not at work I'm with my girlfriend whom I love very much. I tend to do a lot of driving between my home and our properties, and every day I drive down Superior by this beautiful building that was just completed in the last six months. I was intrigued, and it turns out it's the Chicago home of the Poetry Foundation. If you want to get away, out of your element, away from the hustle and bustle of day-to-day work obligations, it's a really peaceful and beautiful space to do so. The relationship between the building and the rest of the block—the way it's set back from the street—is incredible. The exterior is this metal mesh that surrounds the entire structure with superclean glass facades on the interior. It's a beautiful architectural addition to our city. Inside are resources for children and adults alike: workshops, books of poetry, etc. You go inside and you can retreat into the works of all these great poets, which is completely beautiful in its own sense (a personal favorite are the works of Octavio Paz).

With the state budget due next week, the last remaining sticking point in negotiations is an increase in the state's minimum wage. While Governor Cuomo has been pushing for $15 an hour, a compromise is taking shape. State House Reporter Zack Fink has more.
State leaders say they are close to a budget deal but one issue remains elusive — raising the state's minimum wage.
Governor Cuomo has been cross-crossing the state campaigning for a $15 an hour minimum wage to be implemented over separate timetables for New York City and the rest of the state.
State Senate Republicans, some of whom resisted such a large increase, now seemed resigned to accept a some kind of minimum wage compromise as part of the budget.
"I believe there is nobody who doesn't believe that some type of minimum wage is something that we want to do and accomplish," said Republican Senator Martin Golden, who represents Brooklyn.
Under the latest proposal, sources say New York City would see a $15 wage after three years, the neighboring suburban counties, including those on Long Island and Westchester, would see $15 after four years and upstate New York would get an increase to $13 or another number less than 15.
"There are different situations," said Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie. "We all know that the city of New York and downstate is different economic situation than upstate New York."
Even Governor Andrew Cuomo raised the prospect of compromising this week.
"Well first, I think you have to make a special modification for the agricultural industry," Cuomo said. "Because the rules are different there, and employees work on a different basis."
Cuomo could actually do an end-run around lawmakers as he did for fast food workers earlier this year when they received an increase. The Governor has the power to convene a wage board to set the rate.
But sources say Senate Republicans are negotiating to see the wage boards eliminated as part of a deal.
"The senate has been unabashed in advocating for that," said Senator John Flanagan. "I've expressed this and I don't want to pretend for one second to speak for the speaker at all. We have senator DeFrancisco, who has legislation to repeal the wage board."
Insiders say once a deal can be reached on the minimum wage, the rest of the budget should fall into place. The budget is due next Thursday, April 1.

Once you have done this, we can help you choose the appropriate motor unit and that way the system will be balanced and work brilliantly".

Rhyming, hardcover picture books all ages will treasure! Introduce young children to the exciting true stories of Christian heroes! He drove some distance to a country where the Christians there could not get jobs or go to school and Bibles were quite rare. He thought, It is so easy to get Bibles in my land. I must bring them to Christians who can't get them in their hands. Though he was only twelve years old, young Brother Andrew (1928 -) snuck out late at night, passing our secret messages during World War II to help his native Holland break free from Nazi occupation. Following war's end, Andrew fought eagerly for his country in the Dutch East Indies and then, returning to Holland, discovered a new life of adventure transporting Bibles to countries where they were strictly forbidden.

sidhis nice topic,
to be known to all in truth, with detailed explanation
by the people who are masters in this field, called sidhas
at least by the would be masters, who have undergone actually a training and on the way to mastery
or at least any one who has witnessed directly,
or minimum , by one who has seen in tv the online .
this cannot by opinion poll contributed by the best, but without the authenticity/ authority on this subject
with the above preamble , let me push my knowledge/ignorance/inbetween-- -to your valued blog .
i hope you have readyness to read and understand a little, tho best way is to attend a course in tm , tm-sidhi, in your nearest nearest centre, of course, by paying fee, till a time comes to make this available to all free--and experience your self what is levitation and what is the theory behind it.
in this process you will get a glimpses of other sidhis too.
its a detailed process you have to undergo training including residential and later sincerely practice regularly to develop mastery over levitation on theory and practice ---all by you doing it , not watching the fun thru window/desktop windows/news on tv on n channels
This will take an investment of
1 --0ne week to learn basic tm
time 20 minutes regularly morning evening, for 6 months
2 ---15 classes , one per week, about 3 hours
3 -- 2 weeks in residential course, with intense sadhana
4 --a theoritical course in science of creative intelligence,, 21 lectures, 2hrs , with group meditation
b-----------------mo- ney
fees detailes i do not know , prices have gone up so fees to must have
i shall watch what exactly will be your next step,
other than just read forget / or ridicule/brushing aside as fake etc' / feeling ego satisfaction in exposing godmen or gurus
i end this with saying ''shradhavan labhathe gnyanam,
not to the one who wants to know things, just to quench curiosity / do time pass by arm chair gossip
not to the one who shows too much smartness in ridiculing / making fun of the best of guru parampara
and i shall give further infn if you really want to experience, it and proving yourself directly ,
not with questions like
can you fly
can you demonstrate sidhis
how to trust you
you may be fake
you are hiding etc
all this can never help you
you have to go into your inside lab, the soul lab to know the truth 100%, if you are interested , if to know a little more than blogging level
and i feel blissful to be able to cast at least a ray of light on this and necessarily i pray my guru parampara staying inside me with a respectful dandavath and jaigurudev
all are free to have your views most welcome.
or we can wait for a mokshagundam visveshvarayya to come from heaven ready to teach free of cost on a platter. ready to gulp
or be searcing for such a nice teacher in himalayas, and then take the lessons
saar , practical approach venum , we are in modern times

A/N: this takes place right after "spree". And no I don't own the characters how many times do me to say it!
"I wouldn't do that if I were you" Crystal said when Megan reached for her gun in her purse. Seeing that Megan decided to follow her order, Crystal continued "you know who I am and what I'm capable of." While saying this, she pulled out a grenade and unplugged it. "It's up to you, either we live or we die your choice."
"What do you want?" Megan replied trying to figure out what she could do to get out of this situation.
"You know what I want. Now get in the car." Knowing that the better option was to follow Crystals orders for know, she did what she was told and got into her car. With Megan in the front seat driving, and Crystal in the back with the grenade still in hand they drove off.
Professor Larry Fleinhart walked to Charles office with a silly grin on his face. When he got there he heard Don's, the brother of Charles, voice. He was about to walk in hoping not to interrupt anything, when he heard Megan's name.
"Charlie, something happened to Megan."
As if on cue, Larry rushed in almost knocking over a few stacks of paper while doing so. "Don what happened where's Megan, what happened to her."
As if trying to find the right words to comfort the worried boyfriend, Don took his time answering "Megan has been taken by Crystal Holt in exchange for her 17-year old boyfriend that we have."
A/N: its been a while since I have watched that episode so forgive me if I missed anything important or got something wronge. Please R&R, minor flames are welcomed
