2 hours of Legong (female Balinese dance) with substantial breaks in the middle and my legs are killing me... Since coming here I have reverted to my 5 year old self; I am constantly playing and therefore getting scrapes and bruises on my legs, feet and hands. My feet seem to always be dirty from being barefoot and there is rarely a time when all my fingernails are clean. Basically I am a mess, and loving it. I did laundry tonight for the first time since I left London and I can't wait for my semi clean clothes to be dry! I say semi clean because I hand washed everything in a tub that I borrowed from the hotel. At least it's hot out, if I were in London I would have to wait for the rain to stop and then wait for the clothes to dry. Today was a pretty relaxed day. I woke up at noon (I arrived home at about 4:30am so it was necessary rest) got some lunch, went to my professors house for a dance class, ate some more, went to the supermarket to obtain more food for later, had a massage, made Dutch pancakes with Martijn and then laundry! Not too shabby.
This second week has gone by like a blur. We've been having rehearsals for our collaboration project, classes on puppet making and gamelan playing, went to a fabulous Balinese cultural museum, taken day trips to Ubud twice and gone out with Al (Cameron's good friend from home) 3 days in a row. It's going so fast, in only 9 days I have to leave the island of the gods behind and go after my next adventure. And now it's 1:30am and I have to be up early for a cremation ceremony (like you do) so I'm off to bed! Goodnight Sanur!
