Pura Taman Ayun, Mengwi

Pura Taman Ayun, also known as the Royal Family Temple, is one of the famous attractions in Bali.
It is located near Mengwi (somnewhere South of Bali).

The temple grounds are surrounded by a moat and there is a small pathway where the public can access, to walk around the main temple compound.

Kuta and Legian, Bali

Strolling in Kuta and Legian can be quite a breeze. The cool sea breeze takes away the scorching heat of the sun, and the pavements are decent enough for pedestrians with a lot of trees providing shade.

There is only one setback - the narrow road is filled with cars and motorcycles. The air quality is, to put it frankly, very bad.

Due to the lack of time we stuck mainly to the main roads - Jln Karthika Plaza, along Kuta beach, and Jalan Legian. There's a charming blend of branded outlets, shopping malls, handicraft, pubs and novelty shops along the entire stretch - it is truly a feast for the eyes.

Febri's Hotel & Spa - Kuta, Bali

After going through the extensive list of Bali hotels in Trip Advisor, we finally settled on Febri's Hotel & Spa.

Located on Jalan Karthika Plaza, it's actually located in the Tuban area and not Kuta. Kuta is within walking distance though - roughly a 15-minute stroll along the main road. The airport is around 5 minutes away by car.

Upon check in we were welcomed with a refreshing drink of pineapple juice and cold face towels.
We were pleasantly surprised to find that the hotel has not one but TWO swimming pools!

List of banned sites in Malaysia - June 2011

Well, well, well.
Looks like Malaysia is moving backwards and trying to fight a losing battle against file piracy, as the GAMEN resorts to blocking popular sites such as:
Ware z bb,Pir ate bay,Mo vi e2k,Me g aupl oad,M ega v ideo,Pu tloc ker,Depo si tfi les,Fi les erve,F il es tu be,D uck lo ad

But.. wait a minute!
The Government is only making service providers implement the block by DNS!!
So how now??!!!

You have 3 ways to get your way around.
1, Make a DNS lookup online and get the IP address. Type it directly into your browser.

2, Change your DNS server. I like Google's Public DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4!) If you don't know how to change, read the instructions.

3, Use a proxy server to access sites. Where to get the sites? Again, google is your best friend.

Happy bypassing!
