apologies, the gypsy got distracted
get some friends and whammo, blogging gets more difficult! Apologies folks for my shabby blogging of late. I have got a job, of sorts, well, more a project really. I have fast become friends with the guys from the tour company I went to Ubud with. That's their ploy I have learnt, make friends with the customers, hope for referrals. I have learnt that not only do the 4 boys from the office share a bed (and no, not like that!), and work, but that on a good day they earn the quivalent of $8 or three quid, and decided I would help them with their business by following Dad's example. many of you will know Dad runs the odd tour, and is fact taking a coach load of people to Paris for valentine's day. Inspired by tales of his trip I decided to organise a Bali equivalent, sunset in balinese boats, dinner on the beach, tour of the night markets (optional) and jazz. I sell, the boys escort. Only six tourists needed to fill their bus.
Many of you will also know I pride myself on my sales technique, having been top sales girl in ad sales, best bird in gym memberships and person who brought the most tourists into a bar in Greece in one night.
No worries I think, half a day tops to sell, we've had a deal on everything so it's cheap as chips, well reserached and lovely. Only no. 4 days now, no takers, I've tried everything, hotel bars, the beach, people walking past the office, catching people who have had one too many. bugger all.
today is my last day to sell so I am hoping something comes up or it will be a lot of wasted energy and dent for my pride, but I am learning bali is a bloody hard place to drum up trade partly due to the competition, mainly due to the fact the tourists are all hassled out.
Once this mini project is over, hopefully successfully, I'll be a focused blogger once more I promise!
Also made freinds with some of the street kids so am spending half my time buying ice creams! Lovely kids though, brilliant english, even from the 4 year old! There's a couple of girls in particular who just break my heart, so beautiful, so lovely, so little chance.
I am planning to stay here a little longer, now I have a group of friends the desire to pick up my rucksack and be alone again is subsiding. Will keep you posted on plans
Much Love
