So I came back yesterday from my trip and was today in the office (uh boy!). In fact, I just got off the phone because some things do not go well. Well… I cannot do much more about it now anymore....

We had to get up relatively early today. Our flight to Bali is around 8 am and to get all of us ready (plus the kids) takes some time. We did okay, though, and we hit the airport with our two cabs just...

The flight with Singapore Airline to Bali was pleasant and passed by in no time. Oh look, they’ve got a new airport building – much better than the shitty one when Lamia and I came her for our...

The mediocre beach had made us think about alternatives: where could we go to enjoy a nice, sweet-sweet beach? There were of course several options, but they were too far to go just on a hunch and on...
