Today Jamie and I bought $300 tickets to Singapore, for tomorrow. I don't want to say that I hate Indonesia, but I will never come back here. The past two weeks have been full of us trying really hard to like where we have been and ignore all the bull, but we finally had enough. We are in the town of Singiggi, in western Lombok. All day long we get followed by the same people asking us to buy their ugly stuff, then they curse us if we don't buy it. Every single person in this town has called us Spagetti hair(Jamie,) or Noodle Hair, (me). Then they read my tattoo and ask us where we are from, Canada by the way. Then they ask us to buy the same ugly bracelet or some temporary tattoo. Then they try to trick us or overcharge us astronomically for more dumb shit. Yea, I'm a little tired and cranky. It is not even that beautiful.
Other than that, hum... someone has my credit card number and is charging stuff on it. My card was then declined today as I tried to buy my $300 ticket. Does that mean my bank has stopped anyone from using it, or just me? Oh, also the past week we have had the pleasure of waking up to prayers played over a loud speaker from the Mosque. 5 times a day, sometimes for hours at a time they wake us up at three in the morning and don't stop till midnight. And there are roosters everywhere and they don't just crow in the morning, by the way.
We have been meeting some great other travalers and had a great night out dancing last night. And Singapore has the best food in the world, and we all know how much I love to eat!! Thats the latest, all let you know when things get better...
