After a week, I got tired of watching other people surf, so i moved to Seminyak, which is the very upmarket area on the other coast, about 1 hour away.  Seminyak is full of independent boutique shops, cafes, bars.  They’re mainly set up be westerners and are really well run with great decor etc.  I’d like to set up a business in bali, but everything is already here and unlike other places throughout the world, it is all already very good in terms or presentation, product and service.

Bali is the only place I have ever been to where you can go to the most high end restaurant, bar, club, hotel or shop and also get really good quality very low cost food, drink accommodation etc. in the same place.
