A man counts his earnings for the dayNot being near a beach in Bali sounds rather like a contradiction, but it is possible. The town of Ubud is at least an hours drive (if the traffic is good) to the nearest bit of ocean. So instead of purely relying on the waves to boost tourism they've put their money into producing a cultural experience. The streets are full of Balinese art galleries, chic cafes and book shops, which is pretty good after some stressful days surfing back in Kuta. The icing on the cake is that it is coincidently the Ubud writers festival at the moment, so I should be able to catch a reading or something while here.
