People-watching
I think Kuta has become my new favourite place for people-watching. There are so many drunk Aussies roaming around that it never fails to be amusing. Last night I was sat by the beach trying to get the Wi-Fi signal from McDonalds when a fat, blonde, drunk Aussie pulled up on a motorcycle with two skinny Aussie girls riding pillion.
The fool tried to park in the middle of the road and got shouted at. The got off and he then tried to move his bike, pulled the throttle too hard and did a rather comical wheelie about 10 metres up the street. I don't know how he didn't fall off.
He then pulled into the bit where all the bikes are parked, crashed into the motorcycles on either side, knocked his own bike over and then picked it up as if nothing had happened.
The muppet shouted to a man passing by, "I paid your dad 50 bucks to XXXX in his mouth in the Philippines."
This charming individual next went into McDonalds and came out to proclaim to the world that he and his girlfriends had bought three triple cheeseburgers and a fillet-o-fish.
"Let's get more beers," he yelled.

I am an Aussie, and there are plenty of drunk Aussies there as flights are cheap, and so is everything else.
I love Indo and we used to partake in 2 surfing holidays each year. We would stay in the Bounty Hotel, just down the road was Waves, Paddy's, The Sari, Tropos. You could walk to any bar.
We spent a few nights in Kuta, then were on a boat for 10 days to experience the best parts on Indo.
Too many young Aussies on the mainland (and other Nationalities) that just get totally wasted and fight.
If you go to Ibiza in Spain, and the amount of drunken Poms there. They are as thick as thieves.
Indo is a great place but you have to be away from the tourist places. A few days is enough. Indo is for surfing as there are so many better places in the world to party.
There used to be a great bar in Kuta, maybe closed now. It was called Midnight Oil and did the best shakes ever. From Poppies 2 you go past teh old Sari club and it is a few streets down.
Always makes your nights really out there in Kuta.
