Indonesia- day 20

Day 20 Sat 9/16
Day three of surfing went well. We graduated from the soft boards to the real boards and waxed them before we got in the water. We had to go out really early, at 6:30, because that's when the tide was right. We both did well, but a little over an hour in, Maggie got washed ashore and couldn't make it back out. She met a French friend named Diana. We got back early and had our lunch twice before the kitchen closed at 1:00. We rode our bikes to the beach and had to really search to find an ATM, which rejected my card, but it led us to the Canggu club, that we have membership with through the surf place. It was nice laying out and watching the cute children play, just like a club at home. As we biked back, I thought about some things to remember about Bali, like the dogs, the people who work in the fields, the hats made of straw that look a lot like lamp shades, and the friendly people. For dinner, they served the best ribs I've ever had in my entire life. Taking advantage of no surf instruction on Sunday, we headed to Kuta, Bali for the Saturday night life. Kuta was pretty much the Panama city of Bali, but even larger. There were bars, clubs, food, and shops lining the streets. A group of us went including Maggie and I, herman, erg, Martin, alex, and Sarah. We started at Espresso bar, that was fun and had good music playing. I've never seen a crowd go so crazy to th song "jump around". Around 1:00 we headed over to Sky Garden, the club that is the most well known in Kuta and is HUGE, even bigger than any I saw in Spain last year. When you walk in, there are about five direction choices, up, to the side, down, etc., and when you walk in each choice has five more room choices, stages left and right, and it goes for multiple floors, every room just as packed as the one before it. Afterwards, we got some food and found a cab back to Canggu.
