Highlights of my Day... Sunday, January 31

1. We’ve been spending way too much time at the pool and I say this not because of the daily wrinkly fingers I’m getting from being in the water so long but because of the “interesting” people we’ve been meeting at the pool. The scariest of these people being three Russians – a middle aged man with two women who we thought were his daughters until we witnessed quite the kiss.

2. Made friends today with a Turkish couple that has moved to Holland and were on vacation with their one-and-a-half year old daughter. Snickers’ jaw practically dropped when I told him that they recommended us to wait 3-5 years before even considering having a child. “Three to five years?!” he blurted out. My parents waited 7 years before they started their family and this shocked Snickers too. Koreans tend to be fast with starting a family right after getting married. “… well Sweetie” I noted, “… that’s all good but not all of us think it appropriate to live with our parents like children once we get married.”

3. Peed in the pool… yes, that’s right. I totally did it and Snickers totally acted like my look-out man… hahaha. I totally blame it on Snickers though who I had warned him that if he continued to tickle me that I’d pee my pants.

4. After kicking Snickers’ cute Korean butt at ping-pong, several card games, and the various swimming races we had in the pool, he challenged me to a game of tennis. I’ve played tennis before but I don’t really know the rules.

5. Ok, ok… so Snickers’ beat my Polish butt at tennis but that’s only because I bailed on him. Ever since our little scooter slide-across-the-ice accident my wrist has been acting up and hitting the tennis ball with the racket definitely felt uncomfortable.

6. Ended up paying one of the resort workers to play a friendly game of tennis with Snickers and I went jogging.

7. While I was out jogging, I came across a resort that was setting up for a rather large wedding, so before we headed out for dinner we stopped by to check it out.

8. There on the beach were table and numerous chairs filled with people all celebrating a very elaborate evening wedding. The bride and groom were East Asian and were dressed from head to toe in gold and red fabrics. They looked beautiful, unfortunately though because it was too dark and we weren’t really supposed to be there in the first place, we couldn’t really get any clear pictures of the wedding.

9. For dinner, we ventured out of the resort and stopped by a local restaurant where Snickers was asked if he was Park Ji Sung, the famous Korean soccer player… hahaha.

10. So far our honeymoon has been everything opposite of our wedding day – perfect. Snickers has been a total gentleman to me and we’ve been having so much fun. We've been the obvious envy of many older married couples who have voiced their envy to us and giving us continual wedding blessings. It’s the rainy season here in Bali, meaning it rains everyday, but as luck would have it it’s only rained in the morning or the late night when we’ve been sleeping. I totally hit the jackpot with picking this resort and besides the slight sunburn we both scored on the second day here, I wouldn’t change a thing. Not thinking about Korea and being totally stress free has been an easy thing here.

QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Could it get any better?

Vacation: a period of travel and relaxation when you take twice the clothes and half the money you need.
