I can’t drive a car

by baliwebin Misc

It is not mandatory in life that you can drive your own car, now i’m over 30 and i can’t drive while most of my friends are can and even have their own car but that’s okay if the time comes for me to drive i will learn how to drive.

For most people owning a car is like necessity in life and some are for hobby besides its value that expensive, owning a car means that you have to know more about car for example how you can replace a flat tire , what to do if your car radiator heats-up etc of course you can do some mechanics to do all the dirty works but what if you stuck in remote area with no mechanic around? you can just push your car around right?.

But for people who love cars they want to have more power, more speed, more excitement and more danger, installing a turbo kit and for comfortable ride having a power steering rack on their cars is a must . Because for them, cars are as much a personal statement of whom they are although it cost a lot amount of money.

That’s why i’m not ready for driving or owning a car, for now i’m happy with my two wheel charriot.

Backlinks

by baliwebin SEO

I found Interesting article and short (i love short articles ) when i surf the net “Blogging For Backlinks” authored by Steve Renner which i think very useful yes there’s thousands of pages about backlink but Steve put it his points and emphasizing in bold that is simple, clear and make sense just the way i like it.

since this blog is not getting enough backlinks so i guess his techniques is worth to try.

Tanah Lot is definately one of my favorite site simply breathtaking landscape especially if you get good sunset, secondly it is not far away from Denpasar usually it only take one hour to reach the place which is one of the most visited site by tourists.

The main attraction is the temple of Tanah Lot, where is located on a huge rock offshore that has been carved by incoming tides over the years set apart from the mainland, , the temple it self is part of six important temples in Bali. There is strong believe amongst youngsters in Bali that they don’t bring their girlfriend or boyfriend to visit Tanah Lot together it is believed that they will break up afterwards.

Telkomflash oh telkomflash

by baliwebin Misc

I never understand why is so difficult to find a good, affordable internet connection in Bali, i guess the situation has suffered by many people here who are still dreaming of good, affordable(cheap 🙂 ) internet connection, i moved from CBN to Telkomsel Flash i pay 385.000 to CBN and 137.000 (cheapest one) to Telkomsel Flash they both have same average speed.

At the beginning the two companies offer good internet connection speed that makes you smile for at least a month or so, but after third month you’ll get what you pay ..ha…ha..ha.. just like a marriage after the honeymoon the light vaguely dim, sorry but this is true this is a matter that can easily raise you blood pressure up to the head, for those who suffered the same don’t blow your head cos your not alone… there is always light at the end of a tunnel ( you just can’t tell how long the tunnel is..?)

Well my friend in Jakarta informs me that he has been using IM3 unlimited and it cost him only 100.000 rupiah but this is not officially launched yet he said that he got it from an event show in Jakarta.

August 2008 is probably the most crowded month in term of events in Bali started by Sanur Village Festival chain with Bali 10K, Kuta Sidewalk Festival on 16-18 and not to forget Indonesia Independence day on 17 August and then late August you can see some creativities in Bali Fashion Week on 24-29 just like chain reaction, and i we can see that visitors to Bali has increase sharply this month indicated by high hotel occupation in tourist center area like Kuta and Sanur so it’s a good sign
