My favourite time of the day, no matter where I am, is dusk — when the hurried craziness of the city is winding down into stillness and calm. This photo from Lady Expat illustrates this so well. She doesn’t specify where this is taken but from her other photos, I assume it’s Bali. But it’s one of those photos that could be from anywhere, you know?

This cheerful and fun photo, titled “Full Moon Offerings” was captured by LadyExpat in Indonesia. I love the bright colors and the fact that I can’t identify a lot of the what these ladies are carrying. And don’t they sort invoke the spirit of Carmen Miranda?

Beautiful landscape? Check. Stunning beaches? Check. Amazing culture? Check. Booze? Nope, sorry. Wait, no booze? Forget it. I’ll just go to Thailand.
This checklist is what Indonesian trade ministry officials are worried is going through your mind as you consider a trip to the tropical island of Bali. Due to an “import problem” (read: discovery of an alcohol-smuggling ring and a subsequent customs “reorganization”) there’s been a major shortage of wine and spirits on the island. All-inclusive resorts are suffering the most, since their selling point tends to be, naturally, all-inclusive bars.
Despite the lack of ambiance-enhancing drinks, however (and really, does Bali need any artificial ambiance?), the numbers are up. Tourist arrivals rose a whopping 34% in the first half of 2007 from a year ago.
