Driving Motorbike in Bali #Indonesia
Jan 23, 2016
In Bali, our major mean of transportation was motorbike. We got a good deal to stay at a homestay that provided motorbike usage for free. Yet, this bike was far from perfect.
One day, we were on our way to the most northern part of Bali driving from the central. The timing belt was broken.
The next day, we drove to a beach and on our way back the bike was moving funny. The belt was broken. We went to a vulcanizing shop. flOra was so upset as she did not want to pay anymore to fix the bike.
The third day, we drove to a coffee shop for lunch. After a long navigation to the destination, we finally arrived. As Dan parked the bike, he found the key was missing but the engine was still running! That was impossible. The key must have fell out while he was driving. We searched for 2 miles. At the end, we had to pay for a new key.
Thankfully even though we had all these small incidents, we did not have any injury or accident.
Tips of driving motorbike in Asia:
1. Always carry your international drivers license with in case stop by police.
2. Wear a shirt and a helmet - some foreigners do not wear shirt after going to the beach! Try not to look like the crazy foreigner drivers.
3. Use Google Map for navigation - You can first pin and save your destination on Google Map when you have wifi. When you are outside without internet, you can still be able to access the map to the saved destination with location function on and see the details of the roads.

1 Year Honeymoon Adventure in Asia
5.8k views14 subscribers
When Daniel was young, he had a dream: to have an extended honeymoon with the woman he loves.
He did not know how she looks or where is she from, but he wanted to spend the first year of his marriage with his wife.
Inspired by the Bible verse, Deuteronomy 24:5 : When a man get married. The first year he shall not call to war or business, but stay at home and please his wife.
He thought what if people actually do it?
Life is short and full of hustles. Soon we will have kids, pursuing career, earning money and the list goes on and on. If we are to be married for 50 years of our lives, 1 year out of 50 is only 2%. Why don't we devote one year to just focus on marriage, enjoy and learn about each other, build a strong foundation for marriage, and create the memories that we would never forget?
We would never have the first year of marriage back. If we rush back to work the next day after our wedding and be occupied with other priorities in life, will we get to know each other’s needs or spend quality time together? So me (flOra) and my husband Daniel decided to give our best time and attention to each other in our first year of marriage.
