Six things I learned in Bali today

1. Coffee made of crap tastes like… you guessed it. Bali takes crappy coffee to a whole new level. Their most expensive coffee comes from luwaks. They eat the coffee beans, digest them, and when they come out the other end they’re harvested for Bali’s most expensive coffee. They didn’t lie, it sure does taste “different.”

2. Bali has more than beaches and the friendliest people in the world. Awesome, awesome scenery too!

3. Rice plantations are as exciting on Google Images as they are in person. There are some places that pictures can’t do justice. Then there are others that pictures can do justice. Rice plantations are one of them. They were as awesome on Google Images as in person.

4. $10 buffets in Bali are awesomer than $10 buffets in the US. Move over Golden Corral, meet Kintamani Restaurant.

5. Don’t feed the monkeys. No, really, don’t feet the monkeys. You’ll end up like this lady.

6. Monkeys are awesome. As long as you don’t feed them, monkeys have to be the most fun animals in the world to watch.

@ Tao -- Correct, not club duplex. Royal Ambassador is invitation only so the criteria aren't published, though it usually requires 60+ nights per year.

@lucky - no, I only got to the payment page, didn't click on the confirm button. Maybe it would've gone through. The duplex upgrade you mentioned would be their regular duplex I imagine, not the club duplex, right?

Went to monkey forest in Ubud and Ulawatu temple later same day. The monkeys in the Monkey Forest were friendly and not aggressive. The monkeys at Ulawatu were stealing glasses, cameras, etc... While I was taking a picture of a monkey ripping apart eyeglasses he had just stolen, another monkey reached down from a tree above me and stole my glasses right off my face. It happened so quick, it was as if I was pickpocketed.

@ Tao -- Hmmm, that's bizarre, I wasn't able to replicate that. Did you actually go through with the booking, or just went as far as the purchase page? Not sure what they'd do, quite frankly...
