Humidity


I almost forgot what it felt like. It's kinda funny everyone complaining and it doesn't bother me! It's actually not really all that hot. It's only about 85. Oh yeah, I didn't tell you where I was did I. Well folks, I am officially in Bali, Indonesia. We are here for a missions conference with the PAOC. The hotel is very nice. Everything is open. The lobby is all open area with plants right in the middle and by open I mean no walls. There is a roof and bamboo type blinds that can be drawn to separate areas. I haven't eaten in the hotel yet. The past two nights I have had dinner other places. The food is very good! Walking up and down the streets is interesting. Half of the people own motorbikes and the other half cars. A lot of people speak English. I was always a little nervous going to countries where English wasn't the main language but it is crazy how much of the world speaks our language. Though on the flight from Kuala Lumpur to here, the main flight attendant that did announcements spoke in British English. There are a lot of Europeans here and of course, they do not wear the proper swimming attire that fits their body "types". Scary and funny. And also, there are those few old people that have turned into leather............... Last night we were told about a night market. Well, I went looking for it tonight. Someone thought they heard it didn't open til 10. We planned on meeting in the lobby at 9:45 to head down there. I was the only one that showed up. I saw a girl I had already met and asked her if she saw anyone come down there and leave but she hadn't. I still wanted to go and there were a couple of girls about my age standing there that I hadn't met. Well, I quickly introduced myself and mentioned it to them. They were up for it. YES!!! So we started on our way. We stopped a couple of times to talk to some of the other people that were here for the conference. We get all the way down there and ask a woman with a stand. Apparently, it closes at 10. So, we just saw a bunch of food vendors. It was still nice getting to walk and look at things. People here will put little offerings outside their doors. I am not sure what religion that is but I am sure some of you do.... It was nice meeting and chatting with single girls my age. Actually it's pretty awesome to be around so many people that have done so much travelling and live in all kinds of countries.
