Bali pics posted!

So I posted the best of my Bali pics. Enjoy! They're listed on my blog in reverse chronological order, so for best experience, scroll to the bottom and work your way up.

The things I unforuntately didn't capture include:

  • Surfing
  • Snorkeling
  • Kayaking
  • Clubbing
  • The Turtle Farm (which included lizards/bats/birds as well)
  • The bombing memorial/site (sorry, forgot to take a pic when I was there)
  • Taipei 101, the world's new tallest building (we weren't able to get anywhere we could see it from)
  • More pics of my Bali/Taiwan friends, including Nora, Matt, Ryan, Chris, Liz, Shaz, Karen, Ron, Danny, Sarah, Greg, the Frenchman, Agung, Kituk, and too many others...

But enjoy!
