chasing light and babi guling in ubud

i dragged my battered canon eos r6 through the rice terraces of ubud this morning, the light was doing that soft‑gold thing that makes every leaf look like it’s been brushed with honey. the air smelled like wet earth and frangipani, and i kept wondering if the shutter sound was scaring away the stray chickens that wander the paths.

i heard that the little warung near the monkey forest serves the best babi guling, but the owner only shows up after the afternoon rains.

i just glanced at my phone’s weather widget and it blinked twenty‑three point five celsius, feels like a warm blanket wrapped around my shoulders, hope you enjoy that kind of sticky heat.

if you’re craving a change of scenery, a quick spin on a scooter lands you in seminyak’s bustling streets or the tranquil cliffs of uluwatu before the sun dips.

check out these tips: TripAdvisor - Ubud Monkey Forest, Yelp - Warung Babi Guling Pak Malen, and the local forum Bali Forum - Travel Tips.

now, some random gossip: someone told me that the hidden waterfall behind the temple doubles as a secret yoga spot at dawn, but you gotta bribe the guard with a packet of kleenex.

that’s all for now, keep chasing the light.
