We did a lot of walking today - from Kuta to Seminyak, which is the area north of Kuta.  It was a little cloudy today, and the beach in that area didn’t look too impressive.  According to the Lonely Planet, "Seminyak is the most exciting part of South Bali

.  It’s the home of the best restaurants, bars, and clubs."  We went during the day, so it wasn’t as fun or exciting.  It was more of a hot, tired, and sweaty experience.  Plus, we didn’t want to be bothered with making it up there later in the evening, when thing wouldn’t get hopping until after midnight.  You’ll have to use your imagination for the Seminyak nightlife.

For the last couple of days, we’ve been seeing foreigners go into convenience stores, and coming out with cartons of cigarettes.  Sometimes there’d be not drinks bought, just one or two cartons.  I finally remembered to look at cigarettes prices when I went to pick up a guava juice.  One box of Marlboro’s was $0.81 USD!  Eighty one cents!  No wonder everyone was smoking so much!
