Two weeks ago I went to Kuta Beach Bali with my best mate bitch cakes (aka Sofie), and here are the tips you all need to know before you head there yourselves.
1. Travel Insurance that includes medical expenses is a MUST. We saw so many Aussie guys coming out of hospitals all bandaged up from falling off motor bikes it was insane. This is why I will NEVER get on one.
2. Girls. Only pack the following in your suitcase. 1 dress. 1 pair of denim shorts. 1 singlet. Underwear. 2 bikinis. Minimum make-up. One the first 4 days you WILL fill your suitcase with crazy cheap clothing, shoes and handbags. Pack super light to avoid weight restrictions. Also a portable scale is unbelievably handy we would have been screwed without it.
3. Buy all of your DVDs once you've finished shopping for clothing. They do great deals in town buy 100 get 70 free etc. This way you already know your weight limits and how much you can fit in your suitcase for the flight home.
4. Never pay more than $50,000 rupiah for a dress, don't let them rip you off on this. Feeling bad about it? Buy 4 for $200,000 rupiah makes you feel less guilty. Watches should be the same price along with shoes and wallets.
5. Handbags should only be $150,000 - $200,000 tops. Never EVER pay more than this they are junk and don't last that long so don't be fooled by the claims that they are "real leather" they aren't.
6. I bought those name necklaces for my family members and got a pretty good deal 6 for $300,000 rupiah just make sure you write down the names CORRECTLY. I did and I still got one for my sister Ashley that said Assley. Obviously I didn't give it to her haha.
7. If you're scared to be adventurous with the food go to the Sardinia in Kuta Beach. It overlooks the ocean and the staff are friendly (ask to see Lily and tell her Jess sent you!) and the cocktails are about $4 Australian and taste amazing. The food was delicious and actually tasted similar to what I would expect at home. This place is a must for everyone who goes to Bali, I promise you wont be disappointed.
8. Don't eat the KFC. You will get Bali belly. Also there's this gorgeous looking restaurant called 'The Kopi Pot' ..... GROSS. We had to wait 40 minutes for a table then I ordered garlic prawns got bbq'd burnt prawns still in the shells with a bowl of half cooked rice and the garlic sauce??? It was a stick of melted butter with a few cloves of garlic sprinkled on top. Vomit worthy. Needless to say we ate McDonald's after that.
9. If you're looking for a peaceful holiday DON'T stay at the Bounty Hotel. It is a rager hotel that throws the most insane parties in all of Bali with live snakes, all you can eat/drink Friday nights, drinking games, nudie runs etc. And all of this is filmed and available to watch on the Bounty Hotel TV Channel. They were great to us and after the first week when we just needed to sleep, they were good enough to move us to the back corner of the hotel away from the noise. One thing to watch out for though? The staff WILL go through your bags to try and find money so take a padlock and lock it all in one section of your suitcase.
10. Above all else have fun. Do the Bounty Cruise to Nusa Lembongan water park it was fantastic we had a great time on the banana boats and flying fish. Make friends with the locals. Once they know you they look after you (taxi's home, free drinks, cheaper meals etc. Again see Sardinia) we did and have made some great friends because of it.
That's all from me guys but keep watching later this week I will be reviewing 3 new albums and also the Hot Chelle Rae concert.
Keep dancing and being insane and never forget when life gets weird or strange blame your actions on the music :)
