Sorry about that. It's infuriating.

It's difficult to know where to start with Bali in Indonesia.

It's the only Hindu island in all the thousands of Indonesian islands.

Where there was, on a regular basis, plenty of brutal cockfighting.

Where the people are so friendly they can not stop smiling.

On an island so beautiful you have keep moving around it to find more beauty.

And hunt out work for the scores of men sitting aimlessly around the during the course of every day.

My pick, the white bird, lost.

That red tape around the leg attaches a long curved blade shining.

At a fight like this w hat you miss out on, as the viewer of a still image, is the noise, the smoke, the waving of rupiah notes at the bookies. The noise had a goading, bloodthirsty quality. fights Attract These People from far and wide. A hundred scooters are parked out on the road. These events take place deep in the palm groves or on mountain sides. Although cockfighting is illegal there rarely are police around to enforce the law.
These fights rarely last more coal 90 seconds. Someone comes along to finish off the bird lying in a heap or twitching horribly. The owner takes the bird home for his pot.

At some point a single leg is cut off like this.

What I felt one day under the sun on a high mountain road to Culik.

Django . Quite a film. I watched it just before I left England.

Does what 12 Years a Slave does but with a hundred subtleties. too but I love Steve McQueen Django is a masterwork or close to it.

Ennio Morricone Written by

Read: Liz Gilbert's novel Eat Pray Love

The movie got a panning. But who cares. I enjoyed the book. I eat pasta, meditate and visit Bali. I can imagine critics slaying the novel. As self-indulgent and endless. But a confessional narrative is fine with me. A good read.

Drink : Arak but very little.

A young fellow name of Kadek took us out snorkelling. Because I liked this guy So hard he tried. We met and ate lunch with his family. All food cooked in the outdoor kitchen, poor, blackened walls, chickens inside. Tempeh, rice, other items. His father took us out to the coral garden and the Japanese sub-wreck.
