TRANSLATING THE CHEAPEST WAY TO BALI

Three weeks off from the blog makes me like a swallow yearning for the sea. Indeed, my tourism students and I went to Bali through unusual backpacker package tourism spending only IDR 475.000 for transportation, accommodation and meals from Bogor to Bali. It is really amazing that the stereotypically expensive Bali tour, changed into Bali for everybody. It means that by saving a fifty thousand a week, Bali could be reached within one period of study. This is very amazing for our students in Bogor. In fact, the way to go there is quite unsual. First, we went by economy class train from Pasar Senen to Kediri to join the package group from the English course over there. In Kediri, in Pare precisely, we visited the English village. Actually it is only a small village where the young people speak English in their every day encounters. Taking two days and two nights from Jakarta to Bali was actually very tiring journey, however, all participants seemed to be happy all way along. It is my next dream that all Bogorienz could go to Bali both for leisure and for business. It is expected that with only 300.000 all people could go to Bali to enjoy Tanah Lot, sand and smile in Sanur, or to enjoy the breeze and bras in Kuta beach.
