Bali

I got this dress in Bali, in a nice little shop in Seminyak. I love it and have worn it for many years. the first time I went to Bali was in 2008 with my mother. she came to Australia for my cousins wedding in Perth. Bali is a short flight from Perth. originally my dad was supposed to come, but both his parents were dying at the time. it was really sad. so I kept Mum company and off we went to relax in Ubud. It was pretty awesome. i did some daytime adventures with a driver named Dewa. Mum mainly relaxed. I got my hair braided.

a year or so later, can’t remember when exactly, I found a very cheap flight to Bali from my then home in sydney. So off I went, solo, baby! I met some nice girls at the airport and ended up getting a cheap hotel room with one of them. Kind of funny to meet someone at an airport and then later that night, you’re sharing a $10 hotel room. But that’s what happened and we we still facebook friends. shoutout to Janelle! The owners of the hotel were building a villa nearby and so we went to a party there. I also met another woman, Holly, and we went to the Gili Islands together. But I think we chose the wrong island. I’m not much of a partier, but Gili T was all about partying. so I bailed and ended up on a 9 hour boat ride back to mainland. that was silly, but I did see dolphins! The rest of the trip was pretty cool. I even had a fling with an American guy who was living in Korea. And then my friend Katherine joined me also. Really, it was the best of times. and I did some good shopping. That’s the story of how I got this dress!
