Bintang time? Yes please. Bintang is the local beer of Indonesia, and luckily it is plentiful and delicious. The other thing that’s plentiful is Bintang apparel. Everyone is decked out in Bintang tanks, hats, sunglasses, shorts etc. You also can’t stop saying “Bintang”...
I had a bit of free time one afternoon so I went over to Kuta/Seminyak to visit Brian for a beach day. This area is much more touristy than Sanur where our retreat was taking place, and oddly a nice change. The beach was filled with lounge chairs and umbrellas for cheap hire, and of course flowing Bintangs. We spent the day through the sunset under an umbrella, sipping on Bintangs and watching the surfers.

After the sun disappeared, the streets of Kuta came alive. The clubs were bumping and motorbikes flooded the streets. The nightlife wasn’t for us that night, so I grabbed a taxi back to quiet Sanur. I don’t think I’d enjoy staying right in Kuta, but it’s definitely the main source of nighttime entertainment for the island. The beach in Seminyak was nicer than I expected, which was a fun place to watch the surfers and play in the waves. Oh yeah, and it was nice to see Brian. He met a bunch of people at his hostel and ended up having a great time in Bali, enjoying new company and plenty of Bintangs.
bintang, bintang, bintang… ok i’m done.
