Today 25 years ago, I celebrated NY in 66 club in Bali. I was a that loyal customer (and spoiled the security 🙂) that they reserved a car parking next to the entrance, for my flashy red Timor 😁

What a beautiful weather today in South Bali. . Haven't seen a BlueSky 😉 like this since months.
A blessing if you live 300 mtr from the Ayung river, and 3 minutes walking to the beach. You can have it all 😁

I have never seen so much dumped trash, piles of trash, just anywhere in South Bali.
The drama of Bali 😖
At least the mice, snakes and giant lizards have a feast.
What's going on? This time the weather to blame?

I am that assilimated, that if I need a service without a fixed price, I involve a local and get out of sight. I can buy a new car, cash, with what I have saved this way 😁
