Bali

Hey, everyone. Sorry to be so delinquent with my emails but my PalmPilot has crashed and I needed to do a Hard Reset wiping out all data, so I need to make a superlong distance reinstall with my machine at home, which apparently has also crashed, probably related to my slamming on the brakes to avoid something or other and having the computer-passenger slam into the dashboard with an unhappy crunch. It worked for a little while, but I'm not surprised it's tempermental.

I'm in a CyberCafe in Bali, which is unbelieveably cheap by all accounts. I trade in a 100 note and I get a huge stack of 20,000 rp notes.

Bali is quite safe and free from the troubles that seem to be plaguing other indonesian islands, in particular lombok and java. I'll likely be avoiding them, but I'll be keeping my ears open.

As soon as my Pilot is back up and running I'll be in more direct contact. Thanks for your emails, I love getting them way across the world knowing that people care.

Peace,
