The gent in the middle is from the USA, he works for the Bank of America!.


We bounce off each other with insults, and he hates the blockchain, because he does not under-stand it, he will though, in time.

He has become my new worst enemy, with the benefit of laughs, plus he is letting me use his boat/snorkelling gear and scuba diving gear for free.

I do find Americans challenging.


The boat is above.

I find them challenging as they question everything you say, but not the government or TV/presstitutes.
Amusing to say the least.
I have had 3 heated debates here in Bali, Indonesia with regards me not doing any PCR test/vaccine etc, and I end each heated debate, they get heated not me, with "why is my medical history any of your business when even my doctor cannot disclose it?" And I always offer my hand and say "can we agree to disagree like adults, not fight like children?"....

Zee Germans arrived and are happy here.

I do things different to most people, it seems.

I was riding my moped the other day, nobody wears a helmet here, so to not stand out, I do not either, and I ride an old moped, not a new big bike, both attract police and fines, big bikes and helmets, mingle in is the easy way, not stand out.

I lost my new baseball cap while riding 2 days ago, someone picked it up and rode to me to give it me back, I thanked him and as I needed petrol, told him to follow me, when we arrived at the petrol station I filled my bike with petrol, his too, bought him water and Coke/cola and it cost only £3.

I also went to buy some wine for my German guests last night, which we supped till in the AM, well 2 of us did, and bought the locals hanging around outside some drinks and snacks, the cost was 3 euros for all of it, and when I left they were cheering me.

Adorable, the locals truly are.


The little girl reminded me of when my last daughter was still all "daddy, daddy, daddy" before she became a teen.

Today is going to be sailing, scuba diving and snorkelling, then I need to think about my visa extension as it gets expensive here with any overstay, and that is not a thing or place I want to go.

I will be in a day or 2 doing videos online of my daily Bali trips/encounters and need to buy some equipment for this, so hang in there, and I will show you soon, I need my German guests to depart first, and they are only here 3 days.

Have a superb day, and wish me luck sailing, been a long time since I took on the ocean, may the battle begin and end well, have a superb day.

Damn that’s awesome man place looks beautiful! I could tell the American in a second lol

Cheers buddy and yes, he is big, loud and proud, I can hear him coming from a mile off lol.

Sounds like fun especially the snorkeling and diving part. I knw Bali was reasonably cheap, but that is kind of nuts. I suppose living like a local and away from the touristy parts there is a remarkable difference.

Yes, living away from tourists is way cheaper, and people keep giving me free food and drinks, added bonus :-)

sorry to say my friend, you are still well within the bounds of the Matrix.

True that, especially with the visa problem.

We fight on!!!

Indeed, and the g20 is being held here, they best have some good security is all I can say.
