rainy reality

despite the fact that the rainy season is supposed to start in november, i've been incredibly lucky during the last month in indonesia. being essentially nothing more than a beach, kuta isn't great when it rains like today, but as i'm just relaxing i'm not bothered by the newly arrived monsoon. it drove me indoors to watch the cricket though: damn pakistan bastards.
as this is the last week when i'm going to be relatively affluent, i splashed out on a massage on the beach. $3 of heaven: none of this deep tissue madness that i've been used to, this was two old dears (the other one was bored so joined in for an extra dollar) rubbing my feet and shoulders, and generally doing no real good other than driving me to intense relaxation. bliss.
