For the last five years, Spring Break has always been a family escapade. Gone are the days when I used to spend my spring breaks intoxicating myself, and telling lies to my parents that I have stay on campus the entire break for a research project that I have to work on. SMH. I know, I know. This year, we tried to be spontaneous, and really had nothing planned, aside…
After almost having a heart attack from accidentally deleting my files, and eventually recovering them, I finally had the time to put these all together. I tried to compress everything in a 3 minute video. Not quite everything, but here goes some of the highlights of our short but unforgettable Bali experience. ! Definitely a paradise, my pictures, and videos DO NOT do justice! I will definitely be going back…

I mean, where in the world can you get a 4-bedroom luxury house with an infinity pool, gorgeous outdoor tubs for 100$USD per night?

It features a remarkable, breath-taking…
After our scrumptious dinner at the Jimbaran Bay Beach, it was time for us to check in to our first hotel in Bali. I purposely planned to stay at different hotels each night for several reasons: the island is not as small as it seem like so traveling time would be an issue when going to the different tourist spots, and second, I really just couldn’t decide where to stay,…
It was a rainy first day in Bali, which made it a little difficult to explore this beautiful island. Apparently, January is their rainy season, so it was no surprise. It also made it very foggy that the famous Mount Batur or the Kintamani Volcano was almost impossible to see.
