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.
