Went for a surf with Eric and two dutch girls this morning up at Trigg point.
We were a bit late so the wind had already kicked in. Was all fun anyways.
The house is filling up and we meet our last room mate today, a 37 year old circus artist. She is so chilled out and the rest of the people as well.
This weekend is just about studying and surfing in the morning just as I want it.

Funny stories from Bali
These trips disappears out of your memory so fast so I want to write some about how it is here.
Will update this post regularly til Sunday when I put up my pics.
DAY 1 Friday--------------------------------
Arrived at 2 pm. with Mish nd Nick.
I get to the luggage pickup and some balienesean guy picks up my surfboard and start carrying towards the exit I'm like fine, he takes it thru customs and for those 30meters he wants 50kr. I'm LMAO (laughing my ass off) and we agrees on 10kr.
Nick is laughing so much by now that I got hustled.
A minute later someone is carrying Nick's bag a few meters and Nick has to pay 35kr for that, my time to laugh.
It says that you're supposed to pay 25kr to Kuta.
The driver will not drive us for less then 50kr plus that he wants 40kr extra cuz I'm bringin a surfboard. Yeahyeah we pay him and I'm telling him that he's the best hustler I've ever met.
We find a cheap hotel for 80kr a night. After a quick meal I head down to Kuta beach to try some waves out. Man I was impressed over the waves even thou the closed out fast. So easy to catch, another thing then Perth. The rain is pouring down but no one cares. Most surfers are Balinesean. They are screaming, go,,go,,go..!!!
Nick comes out after a while with a longboard and catch his first few waves.
We're stoked.
We do some shopping because I came with nothing, zero, just my board and two books in my boardbag. We have dinner and talk with some people about the surf and are in bed by 11pm.
DAY 2 Saturday-----------------------------------------
We hear that the waves were going to be crappy this morning so we sleep in and then we rent some motorbikes. Our plan is to head down to Dreamland a 30min trip.
Shesus after 50meters the police pull me over. I think it's funny. He wants 100kr for some un correct turn and then another 50 for not having a international drivers license. I'm laughing and think the whole thing is pretty funny, manages to get it down to 100kr total and heads on. 10minutes later there's another cop pulling me over. Guy wants to see my driver's license.
First time was fun now its just getting expensive. The police man tries it a bit and I get kinda angry, yells at him that he can call his friends in Kuta and that I'm not paying anything more today, he just go,,go,,go..!!! (almost like the surfers)
Driving a scooter here felt funny in the beginning, luckily I did scooterDriving101 and 201 when I was a teenager. We get to Dreamland beach and there's no wave what so ever, just a big beachdump. We decide to head back to Legian which is just beside Kuta. When we get back I start talking to some guys, they're Swedish. They ask me if I wanna join to "Saronga?" tomorrow morning.
I head down to Legian beach and catch so many waves, no long runs but stoked anyways.
After that we head out to town to eat and then in bed by 9pm. Bought quite a few Bin-Tang shirts, they're selling stuff everywhere here.
DAY 3 Sunday ---------------------------------------------------
Waking up a 5:05 and have a few bananas and get myself ready to go.
Its pitch dark, walk over to the Swedish guys room and we head towards Saronga.
Drunk guys and girls are walking home with beers. We get there and its quite far out, but hey it looks good. The biggest ones are just over a man tall.
We get out there and after a while I catch one. It's a reef break and there's waves a bit here and there no consistency really.
We're in there til 9am and the guys are really good catching many waves, I get 4 waves and one being really good.
Have some breacky at the beach and then head home, sees Nick studying and I sit down and do the same for an hour. This afternoon we're getting out to Airport reef.
Getting out to airport left it look so good. I paddle into the waves with no hesitation, getting caught by the current and end up in the middle of a big set.
I'm getting tumbled again and again. Got so tired that I had to rest for almost an hour. My shoulders and back are full of lactate.
With the last 45min to go I manage to catch some waves. Biggest ones I've caught I guess.
Day 4 Monday----------------------------------------
Was meant to go to Serangen but lay awake til 12.30 and then I cancel it.
The other guys end up being to tired I realize at breakfast the next morning.
Goes for a short paddle with Nick at lunchtime after a few hours of study.
Hit up Airport left in the afternoon and the waves are a bit weak and choppy, catch some of them.
In the evening we head out for some beers with our neighbours and I get drunk, ohh yeah well fun.
Day 5 Tuesday---------------------------------------
Hangover in the morning, went for a session at Legian beside Kuta, was small tiny waves but it was all great. Studies during the day and at 4 I give it another go.
The swell has increased a bit, mostly close out but end up surfing with some American dude named Coper and we have some fun til the sun is down.
This evening I've been studying and tonight we're supposed to have a big night out otherwise its time for Serangan tomorrow morning

Bed time
Vad hander dar hemma i Sverige?
Jag aker till Bali med nagra svenska vanner och och tjej i klassen pa fredag om 2 dagar.
Sa nice, bara surfa, yoga och ata mat ska det bli.
Har pluggat sa frenetiskt nu de 3 forsta veckorna och det kanns antligen som man borjar fa en oversikt pa det. Men har failat mina forsta 2 anatomy quizzes vilket kanns kasst.
Men har kommit langt med alla grupparbeten och fortjanar Bali for jag har iaf. suttit inne och pluggat 3 veckor i streck.
Anne drog med mig pa Bikhram yoga haromdagen, annorlunda grej.
Dom hettar upp ett rum till 40 grader och sa kor man hard yoga pa det i 90min.
Senast vi var dar inne blev Reef dalig efter halva tiden och fick bryta.
Kanns riktigt bra det har med kiropraktor plugget, shesus vad vissa i klassen ar smarta, det galler att hanga med sa bra det gar, dom kan ju inte gora natt annat an att plugga vilket ar respektabelt pa sitt satt.
Ska bli kul att se hur Bali vagorna ar, jag har gjort lite research ikvall.
Dreamland beach ska tydligen vara natt som ar battre an Kuta.
Har suttit sa lange med en labb rapport som skulle skrivas fardigt ikvall. Den ar nastan klar men kan inte fa det att stamma riktigt och andra i klassen jag ringt har liknanade problem, maste lamna in den imorgon plus en 3 dagars food diary jag gjort.
Jag at ratt bra, bara lite for lite salad sa jag var ner och kopte massa bonor och gronsaker pa burk. Mmm det blir gott for magen det :)
