Bali（2）

Travel is one of the necessaries of life like food for me. Travel is best way to relax and renew my sprits and purpose. Bali was kind to me.
Before I went to Bali, I had thought people took a vacation to continue working. But now I think people work to take a vacation. As you know, Japanese are workaholic people and probably I'm one of them.

I arrived at the airport at midnight and was sleepy. I wanted to go to the hotel and sleep as soon as possible. But the airport in Bali strengthened immigration controls because of the terrorism in 2002. It took about one hour to enter the country.
Next morning I woke up by twittering of birds. I could listen to various birdsongs which I have never listened before even when I was in the room. There were many kinds of trees and flowers in the hotel garden. I enjoyed bird watching from the balcony of the room I stayed. And I also saw squirrels on an aisle in the garden.

And the hotel faced the ocean. It doesn't have the private beach but the beach in front of the hotel was like the private beach. I sometimes went for a walk on the beach and I also could take a nap sitting a chair in the hotel garden. We had to pay for a chair with parasol on the beach but the chairs in the hotel were free and safe. I realized the customer of the hotel should make use of them.
The hotel has 2 pools. There was a building made of stone in the hotel and its roof was a pool. I watched people on the poolside. They sometimes swam but they stretched themselves out on the beach chairs for the most of their time. I decided to imitate.
Then I swam for a short time, I was reading a book on the poolside. The breeze was cool. I always wonder. why do I become hungry by reading a book? When I was going to the hotel bar to have a light lunch, a clerk of the hotel came to me and asked me. "May I take your order?" The timing was perfect. After I ate up the fruit juice and the hamburger which was Australian size, I fell asleep.
When I wake up, I could understand what I was doing and where I was. In three seconds I noticed I was in southern island and I had to check out in an hour!
We can enjoy life like a human being in a vacation. So I think people should work to take a vacation. Well, I will start to work to earn money for my next vacation.

Bali

Yeah!!! I spend my vacation now. If you ask me what date today is, I cannot answer.
Sometimes I go to beach in Odawara and read books in daytime. When I decide to go back home is when I see the sun is sinking and feel cold. I don't need a watch now.

And I plan a trip to Bali. First I was going to Hawaii. But when I looked at traveler's guide, the hotels in Hawaii were tall buildings, I was disappointed. Then I decided to go to islands in Okinawa. There are a few hotels in each island. It seemed that I don't need to see many people. I really want to go to places where there are not big buildings and quiet. And I want to add mileage point of JAL.
In domestic travel, best way to add the mileage point is going to Okinawa and Hokkaido, because they are far. I dreamed that I was riding a cart pulling by a cow.
But I was confused when I realized that a travel to Bali is cheaper than a travel to Okinawa. And in case of domestic travel, we have to apply for my flight and accommodation 10 days before the first day of the travel. That’s why I can start my trip to Bali earlier than a trip to Okinawa. I was shocked.
The determinant in choosing which place I should go to was the hotel. Though both travels are JAL package tours, the hotels in Bali seem more beautiful, comfortable and exotic than ones in Okinawa.

It must be a good chance to forget previous stuff. Since almost all of the words that clients or business partners said to me were kind and warm, it's too difficult to forget them. But to enter a new phase, once I should forget them. I know.
Most difficult and most important thing in a job-change is how to separate from previous stuff. Some of previous stuff seemed to try to keep me from leaving. Or Do I want to think so? If so, that's another story. Whether it is true or not, I have to leave.

I hope beautiful Bali warmly welcome me and make me relax.
