Another one of Balinese celebrations today, Kuningan day 🎁👻
.
It's the day when spirits come back home after spending 10days of Galungan on our Earth.
Hence today's offerings are more generous than normally, they need some lunch to take away 😉 Look, the spirits even got some pocket money! 🤑
.
Balinese also hang small decorations in front of the houses to protect them from evil forces, being also a reminder of karma.
.
So much meaning to each of these little things! Happy holiday, Bali, thanks for being so good to me! 😊

Hands up, who wanna be a palm tree? 😜

- Hey, look, she is taking a photo of us, smile!
- nooo, malu (Indonesian for 'shy') ☺️

It's often cute, but often frustrating how Indonesians react to seeing a ' bule' (a word
meaning "white skin foreigner", theoretically neutral that despite it I dislike so much). Sometimes hiding and avoiding conversation, assuming that if they can't speak English (as if all of bules spoke English? 😂), they won't be able to communicate with us, sometimes giggling or pointing us with the finger, but many times also just being overly nice and asking many questions out of pure curiosity. Not having any bad intentions, but surely not leaving "us" being unnoticed 😅 I, especially living here for already so many years, don't like feeling like there is "us" and "them", even if in "their" eyes "we" might be "better" in some way (white skin is considered beautiful, straight noses too), I'd prefer to be just transparent than an object of constant attention, even if sometimes it gives me some privileges 😅 so, Indonesian or Polish, maybe next time you meet someone looking "exotic", it might be polite to stop yourself from asking "where are you from?" 😁✌🏽

Saturday mood 😆
.
I got used to having super busy working schedule couple of years before corona hit, running own business most of the days were same busy, so I never really cared what day of the week it was. It felt like it was always Monday and I dreamt of having more free time... 😆
.
Now I can say that since March every day feels like Saturday, every day is holiday, which is not that great at all in the end. I've always said that intelligent people never get bored and that being bored is your own fault. After all these months I don't fully agree with it anymore, the longer it all lasts, the more often I feel too drained to do anything, even the things I've always wanted to do, but never had time for.
.
But today I'm using the excuse of Saturday to legally and without any guilt be lazy for a day 😉 Like this cat caught on Flores 🐱
.
And how's your weekend, are you spending it in an active way or rather chilling around?

Home is where your heart is. One thing that traveling always reminds me of is how happy can people be no matter what conditions they live in. Gratitude is the key, right? The most important thing though - TV antenna - is at almost every household 😅 And what is one thing you couldn't live without?
.
This is the village of Bajo, South East Asia's nomads who build their houses on water! They live on the shores of different SE Asian countries (although there are some 'civilized' ones who moved deeper into the mainland), eat only what they catch in the ocean and are some of the best free divers in the 🌏!

Can't call it fancy, not even a restaurant, but still, outdoor dine area always sounds good 😋 That's one of the most memorable places I've ever had lunch at, and what's yours? 🍜🏖️

How many colors can water possibly have? 💧🌈 Stupid question you'll say? These three volcanic lakes in Flores come in three different ones at the time - depending on the season (and some other factors scientists don't understand yet) change from red, black, brown, white to ordinary blue, total of 44(!) colors - but during my visit there were only two 🙈 Locals believe that 👻 spirits come here after death, and so the older lates' souls go to the turquoise lake, the youngest to the blackish blue one, and evil ones — to the (you guessed it right? 👹) red one.
