RIP MY WHITE SUNGLASSES... YOU´LL BE MISSED HAHAHAHA =)

Yoooooo… whats the story beasts?? All sweeeeeeeeeet isn’t it?? =)

Today I´ll talk about Big Brothers, Eat Viagra with salad... and.... Someone stole Luh!! (he is ok though)

You may not believe but Luh and myself are, at this exact moment, secluded in our hotel with other 30 people and we are not allowed to leave the facilities… by any mean… if so… we risk to be caught by the police and we will be arrested and brought to the jail!!

The accusation?? Being on the streets during the Nyepi Day!!  

Well.. at least now I can understand the origins of the English word “Nap”…. Nyepi…Nap… what else would you do during this day??? hahaha

Talking serious know… in fact, I can’t face this too serious… cuz I´m actually feeling like I am participating on a TV show... like Big Brother Indonesia… we are loads of people… with many rooms… a fucking chick that does not shut up… not much food… and we have already started experiencing relationship issues with the other participants hahahahahaha

The problem is that we can´t eliminate them from the house… or can we?? =) hahahaha

The three antecedent days of the Nyepi Day are full festivities and colorful processions, celebrations that end the year. The Silent day is the way that Balinese people starts the new year… what a different way of starting a new year right?? Silence… quietness… void… avoiding the rush… stress… traffic… noise…. well… we might´ve something to learn from them!! =)

About the food… uff…. what Nyepi day rookies my bro and me… hahahah.. in preparation for the Silent Day (the English name), as everybody… we bought some pizzas the day before…. to have´em for lunch the day after…. also, some snacks and cookies… no need to mention that due to the freakin-but-not-unexpected high temperatures, the whole thing got wasted hahahahah we took all the measures to keep the fuckin ants away but did not consider the heat… hahahahaha what a newbie move!! hahahahaha

So, now we are here… silent day… fighting boredom… in silence… and fasting hahahaha

haha… now about the chick…. poor chick…. =( I can foresee people saying: “oh… but you agree of having dogs like pets!! and bla bla bla”… But kmon…. who in this world thinks that having a chick as a pet is sth nice?? Even worse is bringing the poor animal to a hotel in a hand-sized cage…

Sadly… that´s exactly what one of the guests here does… I don´t know what is the story behind but I don´t actually care… if someone is capable of doing this with the poor animal… I don´t wanna engage in any kind of relation with a person like that….

And yes… I think that having a dog or two or as many as you want is totally different… I do care more about the chick than the guy… and I would eliminate the guy from the house!! Where is the Big Brother´s host??? We need to talk!! haha

Now we are pretty much half-way through the Nyepi day… it started at 6am… it is 5:12 pm and it will finish at 6 am tomorrow day!! =) Hooooray… we still have some internet!! hehehe

The night before the “quarantine of 1 day” haha… we were having dinner (the last meal haha) at a place few mins from the hotel (cuz everything was already closed and the city was a mess with all the celebration and all the huge carnival cars)… cool… there we were… enjoying the freedom… we fortunately still had the possibility of choosing where to go, what to eat and all hahaha… I got a salad and Luh got a fruit salad…. suddenly one guy comes to us… inside the restaurant and starts selling drugs… seriously???

It´s quite normal having people asking you if you wanna buy some narco product on the streets… along with massage, caps or bike rentals… but offering to add some viagra to your salad?? That´s new… and actually, something that differentiates his service!! hahahah Kudos to the guy then heheheheh

I said no and he went after other table´s possible customers hahaha I guess he sold sth but not sure what… he has quite a range of products heheheh

When he left he still tried to sell me some mushrooms… and my bro replied fast and wisely: “Cheers buddy… we just had dinner!!” hahahaha the guys turned the bike on and left…. hahahaha Thug life in Bali!!! hahahaha

Talking about Thug Life… we are in Kuta beach… a central beach… good for surfing and fairly cheap for budget travelers… but the island is big and one must visit as many places as possible right?? =) So… off we went… headed south through the coast… passing by many beaches and beautiful places… getting… after few hours… to Uluwatu. There are loads of attractions and things to do and see… also, as in pretty much all the temples… loads of monkeys… AAAAAAAAnd that´s where our story starts getting tones of drama hehe

We were already getting back to the bike… thinking already of lunch and feeling the emptiness of our stomachs gets bigger and bigger… when we got to the bike, I started getting my things ready when I hear Luh saying “Aw!!!”… when I turn back I see a monkey running and my bro shouting: “he took my sunglasses!!”

It´s important to highlight that the mischievous primate jumped from a branch in my bros back and took it straight from his face… I couldn’t believe when he told me that… I thought he took it from his face and put it over the bike´s seat and that´s when the mono took it from him… but nope… the tricksy fucker climbed my bro thirsty for his glasses…. hahahahahah

Do you know when you don´t quite understand what´s going on but still decide to act???

First thing I did?? Obviously that I ran after the fucking monkey and threw my sunglasses at him!! hahahahahah

As a baseball player I am a great climber!! no need to say that the glasses exploded good 3-4 metres far from the monkey!! And it exploded not because I am freaking strong… it just because I had it already fixed with finger tape and super glue!! So when I threw it… the one glass became 3 different pieces flying around…. hahahah

But the main matter… my bro´s new Ray Ban glasses (the one I got him because I had lost the other ones in a waterfall months earlier…. if you missed this story… go back in time and read that post!!)…. so… there we were… facing a fucking thief… that was looking at us and biting the glass as it were some sort of new fruit that he could peel and eat hahahaha I tried to throw other stuff but he ran… and climbed a wall… but we could still see him… still trying to eat the glasses…

I didn’t now if I should run after him barefoot as I was or what.. Luh, as well, couldn’t think of any different reaction other than look… he was still rewinding and going fast forward with his recent memories… to understand what happened…. hahahhaaha

By that time… everyone was watching the epic battle of two brothers versus a monkey…. we were looking like the ones not too evolved!! hahahahaha

Finally, Out of the blue, a guy came like a hero… he wore a cape and he had bags of food as his weapon to fight the cruel, spiteful and malicious villain!!! I call him… The Ghost “Baggins” Rider!!!

That guy came riding his bike… threw some bags at the monkey… who dropped the glass and ran away like a thunder from our hero (carrying the bag full of food of course!!)… the good man came to us with the glass and then disappeared like a ghost, the same way he came!!  

I´ve been sleeping better since then. Now I know that we have a new hero in town to fight the weak and ensure that the unkind and bad will not prevail!! Thanks Ghost “Baggins” Rider!! =)

haha oh well peeps… that´s it… Now we are officially 12 hours away from freedom!! hahahahahah It´s 6 pm!! Hoooooray!!!

I hope you had a great time reading it! if not…. I still love ya!!

All the best and great things for yous this NEW YEAR!!

I wish you freedom, food, dogs, people, climb, friends, sunglasses, trips, adventures, silence (not obligated tho), lesser prohibitions and more choices!! Choose what makes you feel happy and smile… ALWAYS!! =)

Cheers,

Evan
