CONCLUSION
Nusa Dua- It is a place mainly for meetings and convention. The hotels are all rated 5 stars and its an enclose area with tight security. They screen through everyone and every cars before they allow anyone to enter the area. The beach is very clean and the sea is clear...

Food- I dont really like the food there though all are rather salty heeee I like salty food but then not to that extend! Most of the time we had buffet with dishes like "dry chicken", "tough beef", fish that was like chicken breast, poached vegetables with sauces.... Personally I dont quite like the food there. Brother David said the best food was one that we had in a particular restaurant. Yeah I agreed with him but we promised each other that we cannot tell others what restaurant we went otherwise people would definately mock at us ~ "GO BALI to have XXX food ah??!?!?!?!?!?" Oh another nice one was the black pepper crab that we had at the beach, very salty and delicious! Hahahahaha

Sight seeing- We dont have much time for that but I do like the places that the tour guide brought us. The best place is Mt Batur (Volcano) because it is uphill and is very cooling with beautiful scenary.

Weather- I hate the weather! Very hot and humid! I really cannot stand the heat additionally there are not many places with air con and that really kills me!

Arts and crafts- I am very impressed with the way they carve the wood into various statue. The paintings are incrediable as well because the people can draw within minutes. Leaves can be weave into anything and of many use.... I am really impressed. Uhmm I have never "appreciate a leaf, to me, it is just a leaf! Something that I have to sweep away before I start my car as its all over!

Nevertheless, I had a great time, its a pity that I dont have much time to visit more places. Probably would go there for trekking one day (Brother David said "Wait long long lah u!")hahahahahaahaha shall see lah hor!
