New Month's Resolution

It now bring April, it seems appropriate to make a resolution: I need to take notes on lessons learned during a trip and apply them to the next one.
For example, a shoulder bag is much more useful day-to-day than a small backpack. Not only is it sharper, it's easier to carry and get into.
Certainly I could pick up a bag for cheap here in Seminyak, but then I'll have one more bag kicking around at home. I can only use so many at one time, and I have a perfectly suited bag which is packed in a box somewhere in transit between Vancouver and Calgary.
I find myself considering the future utility of purchases a lot more in this trip than in the past. I think it may be a function of having just watched my home being packed up and shipped from city to city.
A word on the photos:
- Bintang, the leading local beer, displayed like nice wine in a supermarket. Not great, but very refreshing.
- Anomali Coffee, apparently a Jakarta outfit, has recently opened a Seminyak location. Staff still seems to be training, but they do great third wave coffee with an emphasis on Indonesian single-origin beans. Also, a in the photo, a fine piccolo.
- A particularly fearsome rooftop sculpture in Ubud. I was strangely reluctant to enter that store...
