"So, father mother. Before going to the destination, we will go to the nearest place of worship to perform Friday prayers. "
'What? ' I was immediately shocked. I guess the first place we're going to is the hotel to put things in and take a shower.
It turns out that the first goal is not there, but directly to the mosque to perform prayer. When I got off the bus, I felt the wind and the blazing sun of Bali.
"... So Hot! " I said while looking for a place to shelter.
It is true that the advice of other staff, if to Bali must use Sunblock or umbrella. Because the sun in this place stings once. It is very different from the sun in my hometown.
While waiting for Friday, I can only chat with people around. Because my body feels stiff and sleepy because of fatigue. There is no mood at all to open the phone.
I heard some of the other colleagues had gone to the nearest toilet to take a shower. I had considered taking a shower as well, but I ended up undoing it.
Since my family isn't in the shower, I don't feel good bathing alone. At the end of the day, Friday prayer time arrives. Still with the condition of the body is not yet holy and clean.
With a tired and tired body due to the trip, I managed to perform Friday prayers well. This is a rare moment to pray in the land of the gods. I guess there is nothing good in Bali mosque, it turns out my guess is wrong.
The mosque I am in is also unique. I don't know exactly where this is, but other than the mosque, around this place there are also monasteries and churches nearby. It's great that there are places of worship close together like this.
There was no sign of conflict ever happening in this place. It may be true that he said that the place in Indonesia that is the most tolerant is Bali. Because everyone in it gets along well in carrying out the worship of each person.
But since it is not Sunday, it seems that the church is deserted and unused. Our mosque is currently outdoor type, the surrounding scenery is still visible even though it has entered the mosque area.
Fortunately the weather was scorching and not cloudy or there was a sign of rain. But this again causes new problems, the temperature becomes very hot. Thanks to being exposed to ablution water, the hot temperature around is somewhat reduced.
"Let's get on the bus to get to the next place. " Shouted one of the drivers using a toak.
I went straight back to the bus then tried to enjoy the scenery while going to the destination.
We ate on the bus to save time. It's a bit complicated to eat on the bus, but what power, it's schedule so. For time efficiency according to the officer, so must eat on the road.
"Please walk around for an hour. You will be contacted when it is time to go to the next place. " Driving allows all passengers to travel.
We have two guides, one boy and one girl. The name of the male guide is Bernan, while the female guide is named Maya.
Bernan though he said bali but his face looks like Javanese. With brown skin and thin body. She wears traditional Balinese clothes.
Maya has a white skin and a beautiful face. He also wears traditional Balinese clothing. Some of the male staff from my workplace has moved quickly and directly follow this one guide. Indeed, if there is a beautiful woman in direct like that.
This time it looks like a beach. It was different from the beach I imagined. The area is pretty dirty, lots of garbage scattered everywhere.
This causes an unpleasant smell. Unfortunately I did not have time to bring a mask while in this place.on the road also I saw many Balinese ornaments along with sajen-sajen.
Dogs and offerings are a common sight when in Bali. I saw them a lot on my way to this place. This is one of the things that makes me experience culture shock.
There are many shops along the road to the beach. I held my hand because I didn't buy too much. Even though we got sangu from school, it was not good to spend it on the first day of the trip.
"So this, the beach in bali. " Say me while looking at the beach here.
'... No different from the beach in my area' I said in my heart.
I rarely walk. So maybe I am less able to distinguish the quality of a beach. But from my amateur perspective, this place is not much different from the floor near my house.
The difference is, this beach is cleaner and more Caucasians are here. I had seen Mr. Jefri busy to chat with the Caucasians who were here.
As he is an English teacher, language is not a problem for this hairless teacher. At first glance I heard them chatting a lot with English. Accounts are not interested in their chat, because I am more focused on observing the bule.
She went to the beach with her husband and son. At least that's what I noticed. Either the two men are husband and son or not. I saw the husband had a slightly gloomy face when he saw Mr. Jefri chatting with his wife.
Hopefully there won't be any problems. I myself just walk around the beach alone, because bother later if I have to change clothes in this place. So I don't intend to splash into the water for now.
"Sir Ray, here sir. " Sir Dani came towards me and called.
"What's wrong? " I asked my glasses friend.
Mr Deni pointed to one of the people and said "Look at that sir, is there a youtuber there? "
"Seriously!? Is that right, sir?" I looked in the direction that Mr. Dani pointed.
At this time I have not often watched youtube because HP is still not good, so I do not know the character that Mr. Dani pointed. But that did not deter Mr. Dani and other staff from asking for a photo with him.
They returned after taking pictures with their idol. I heard they are youtubers who often do extreme scenes with motorcycles. Maybe I'll check on them later if there's time.
Later after I checked, they turned out to be real YouTubers. Although at first they only create content on instagram, in the end they started uploading also on youtube because many are plagiarizing their content.
We went back to the bus and continued on for the day. The place we stopped next was a souvenir spot. There is nothing special about this guy. Especially for me who does not want to buy souvenirs now.
Some staff bought souvenirs. But I just looked around, didn't buy anything. Our journey continued after all the passengers were satisfied to see the souvenirs.
"The bus can only stop here. Then use this small car to get there. " We changed vehicles because the road to the hotel was quite small. Buses cannot stop directly in front of the hotel.
If in Java, such a car is commonly called odong-odong. Without a second car. It only has one car. Since the number of our people was quite large, we alternately went there.
"So this is the hotel. " I see this hotel is quite small from the front. Who knows, it is even longer inside. You can't judge something just from the front.
After everyone arrives, room keys are shared for each group. I got myself one room for three. With Arip and Lamda.
We went into the lobby and saw the dining room. It looks like we'll be eating here tonight. Next to the dining area there is a swimming pool, perfect for exercise after eating.
Unfortunately I don't see a gym here. Curious if there is a Gym place, whether I can try it for FREE or not. Very sad because there is no way I can have time to go to the gym when looking at the schedule of events. The time cannot be.
I went with my sisters straight to our bedroom. Our destination floor is the second floor. Because it was close enough, we decided to go there by using the stairs. Even though there was an elevator, I chose the stairs for all sports.
"This is our room" I said, matching the number on the door with the card I was holding.
*click*
I opened the door after inserting the card. Then I unplug the card and put it in place to turn on the electricity in the room. Because if not done, the electricity in the room will not turn on.
Just like the color of the building outside, this room also has red and white as a theme. With a big mattress that might fit the three of us.
It has also prepared towels and mats for the bathroom. The window also has one pointing outside. The view outside is pretty good. I can see the view of Bali from this place. But I haven't seen much because it's already night.
There is also a chair and table in front of the bed. With a television set mounted to the right facing the mattress. We can enjoy the television while sleeping in the bed.
I also checked the bathroom in the hotel. There is a shower with a sink and a toilet seat. Pretty standard for a hotel. It seems that later defecation will be difficult because I am less accustomed to toilet sitting.
After finishing storing the goods, we pray first before going down. Because dinner time is coming soon.
What dinner will we enjoy tonight?
