Wouldn't have thought of Bali for the nighclub scene. :smallbiggrin:

Re: Serpentine's Travel Diary Thingo-Whatsit
Really? Dude, it's so a nightclub scene, two of them got blown up for it. Sam was here at the time...

Re: Serpentine's Travel Diary Thingo-Whatsit
Really? Huh. Shows just how much I know about Indonesia, I guess.

Re: Serpentine's Travel Diary Thingo-Whatsit
Well, it was extremely widely covered in Australia, as we had the highest number of casualties.
And I just confirmed, my cousin intended to go to that nightclub that night, but changed his mind. Thank **** for that.

Re: Serpentine's Travel Diary Thingo-Whatsit
Are Australians so prone to appear at nightclubs?
-
Re: Serpentine's Travel Diary Thingo-Whatsit
In Bali, yeah, I think so. There's a lot of us here.

Damn. That was lucky :smalleek:
There was a fair amount of coverage of that in NZ as well...
Serps, that blue dress is gorgeous. It looks great on you :smallsmile: ... now I want one :smalltongue:

And in the UK, for that matter...the Bali bombings were big news here the week they happened. Glad your cousin lucked out there, Serps!

Re: Serpentine's Travel Diary Thingo-Whatsit
Wow. You look marvelous in that dress.

I keep missing that photo, somehow. :smallconfused:
I'm sure it looks lovely, though. :smallsmile:
It is lovely! :smallsmile:

Re: Serpentine's Travel Diary Thingo-Whatsit
Clearly, you need to do this.

Re: Serpentine's Travel Diary Thingo-Whatsit
Loving this thread Serps - more please! :smallbiggrin:

Re: Serpentine's Travel Diary Thingo-Whatsit
never know that you're such a party animal serp.

Re: Serpentine's Travel Diary Thingo-Whatsit
More than some, less than others basically. I like doing it occasionally, but not exactly all the time.
Updated again, but not very interestingly.

Woo hoo! Go go Serpy! :smallbiggrin:

Re: Serpentine's Travel Diary Thingo-Whatsit
Oh, who was that date you were talking about? :smallamused:

Re: Serpentine's Travel Diary Thingo-Whatsit
I'm more hoping that you'd talk more about interesting things you eat, since comparative cuisine is basically the thing I care most about travels. :smallbiggrin:

Well, she'll be with Ku up in Scotland in a week or two, AFAIK, so you can enjoy the virtual delights of the deep fried Mars bar and fish and chips. :smallbiggrin:

He was lucky they battered it...

Re: Serpentine's Travel Diary Thingo-Whatsit
his first clue should have been that it wasn't in a pizza box!

I actually already intended to make the next "interlude" on that very subject.
Guess I'd better update this thing, eh... But uploading the photos is suuuuuch a paaaaaaain, especially with this crappy internet! D:

Re: Serpentine's Travel Diary Thingo-Whatsit
The solution is obvious - you must compose a touching sonnet about the food instead.

Re: Serpentine's Travel Diary Thingo-Whatsit
Rightio, updated again, but photos will have to wait.

With regard to the food, humid places tend to have spicy food to cover up the taste of the meat (because it's likely to be in not so good condition due to the humidity), which is also why the chicken is a little overdone by your liking, but better overdone and taste a little dry than underdone and get food poisoning.
On the plus side, you like deep fried bananas - you'll fit right in with Scotland cuisine then. :smalltongue:

Actually, the story that spice, or particularly pepper used to cover partially spoiled meat is just a myth.
Especially since you can easily get fresh food anytime in tropical countries.
I think, it's more about because those places produce spice, and spice is cheap there, so obviously spice is more oftenly used than in faraway places where spices are expensive. In places that produce tea, weak tea is drunk like water, and restaurants often provide tea for free.

However, it was used in Europe to cover up bad taste of old meat. Possibly the origin of the myth that it was used in a similar fashion in the tropics.
Dammit! How the heck does these factoids spread? :smallsigh:
