Kuala Lumpur, Denpasar, Ubud: Fly to Bali

I played guitar and sang this morning in Popo's apartment. I'm happy that Kam Seng keeps a guitar in the house. Jay and I sang "Flowers Never Bend with the Rainfall" and "Help" and I sang "Wild World" and a few others.

Auntie De Xia took us to eat Ipoh chicken rice for lunch. Jay said it was her best meal on the trip so far. The rice and chicken was indeed excellent. I ate some chicken liver and gizzard, too.

The chicken rice store is famous in KL, so we were curious as to how many chickens the store sells in a day. The owner was reluctant to tell Daddy, though. The owner probably thinks that the Malaysian IRS will make him pay more income tax if they find out how many chickens he really sells.

We flew Air Asia to Denpasar, Bali in the afternoon. Air Asia's seating is first-come first-served, so we had to scramble when the announcers opened the gate. We were lucky: we sat together and Daddy found a seat where he could stretch his legs.

The 45-minute taxi ride from the Denpasar airport to Ubud cost 100,000 rupiah, which is about $10. Mommy walked out to the airport parking lot to bargain for that price. We probably could have gotten a similar price from the taxi drivers at the baggage claim.

We're staying in a spacious, secluded bungalow about a kilometer from the center of Ubud. The owner's name is Nyoman Sandi. He and his wife and 27-year-old son welcomed us with fruits and cake. The bungalow has a kitchen and two bedrooms, each with their own bathrooms.
