Just Ask

Written by Susan Fritz | Thursday, December 24th, 2015 Posted in Bali, Blog, Nomad Life
My last few days in  Bali were near the beach. Unless you get a special Visa, they kick you out after 30 days–or, even better, you are fined at the airport, so like Doug, “I’m outta heere…”  (please click on this–it would make me very happy and you’d gain insight into my bizzaro sense ‘o humor). I ended my time in Bali at the beach because it seemed like the right thing to do. I mean…Bali. The name conjures up images of, well, crystal-clea...

The Bali Podcast! Released December 3, 2015: Bali, Hi! This link takes you to all episodes on the iTunes. You will learn just a few things in this episode: 1: I am still alive. 2: I am melting (did I mention it’s hot in Bali…?) 3: I do not make for a highly sensitive cultural guide.

The Way of the Susan

Written by Susan Fritz | Thursday, November 26th, 2015 Posted in Bali, Blog, The Way I See It
Just me, trying to go back to my “homestay” (AKA: little Balinese room with a useless fan but plenty of love) when I came face-to-face with a real live dragon. They say they don’t exist…but what do “they” know…? And who are “they” anyway…? #toms #tall people #newjersey #IdontknowwhyIamhashtagging #hashbrown

Wonder Bug Takes on Bali’s Bread

Written by Susan Fritz | Tuesday, November 10th, 2015 Posted in Bali, Moving Images
After my “Summer of Wasp Trouble” in Alaska (*see also Podcast Episode #1) , I was none too excited when this bee-like creature (shoot, I don’t know which kind–the tropical kind) buzzed up and into my biz-nass, which was eggs and toast. But the toast was white bread and even though it’s snobby and wasteful, Homie (me) don’t usually do white bread (Homie’s person supplies enough of that as it.) Anyway, rather than let the bread go to waste, I placed it...

Baby Monkey on a Leash, or “Nuthin’ to See Here”

Written by Susan Fritz | Thursday, November 5th, 2015 Posted in Bali, Blog, Moving Images
This little creature lives in the place I’m currently staying in Ubud, Bali. He seems happy enough, has friends to play with (including an adorable puppy of similar size), and wants for nothing…aside from his jungle home (minor detail…). I dunno what to say about this one–but as long as you can suspend some level of judgment, his “squeak” is adorable.

Fall, Water!

Written by Susan Fritz | Tuesday, November 3rd, 2015 Posted in Bali, Moving Images
Drive (or scoot) your way around 20 minutes (or if you’re a cautious grandma like me–45) out of bustling Ubud and be asked about “Cold Drink” and “Taxiiii” next to a textbookily gorgouso fall of water instead. If you wear your “swimmers” and don’t mind the small crowd which gathers to do the same, dive (jump–it looked shallow) right in! I passed, since I’ve already beeeeeen to beautiful waterfalls before. You may now cyber-slap...

Not Just a Chicken Fight

Written by Susan Fritz | Wednesday, October 28th, 2015 Posted in Bali, Moving Images
My second day in rural Bali and I NEEDED to take a walk! It wasn’t exactly a “mistake” (because it ended well), but it could have been. I found the cocks for the Cock Fight!

Go Ahead and Tempeh-Me

Written by Susan Fritz | Wednesday, October 28th, 2015 Posted in Bali, Blog, What I Write
If you know anything about me, it’s that my favorite non-meat is Tempeh. Now for you non-veg heads TEM-PAY is fermented soybeans (but it’s not tofu!). Sounds terrible, but it’s delicious and the only meat imposter which can, in capable hands, transform into a plausible fake bacon (although it lacks the pliability to wrap around a scallop). You don’t have to believe me or eat it. You simply must imagine my surprise when I found these jobbies: Tempe chips (different coun...
