• Diving Bali

  Couple of weeks ago, a huge group of us went to Bali to dive in hopes to catch a glimpse of a Mola Mola.  Lucky us, we got lots of glimpses.  It was such great diving.  And food too.    Anyway, here’s a slideshow and some of my fav shots.
  
  

  
  I love this shot.  I have no clue which one of my friends those two are tho.  haha
  
  
  Not a great shot but this Mola Mola was literally right beside me. . . okok, 10 feet is close for a fish that’s 3 times your size. 
  here are 2 links to give you a better idea of what it really looks like:

  Cuttlefish!!!  One of my buddies was lucky as she saw them mating.  This shot is right after the mating.
  
  
  My favorite photo of a Manta Ray.  I love the colors.  ^_^  so inspiring, but alas, I’m no artist.
  
  
  Its so peaceful watching the Manta Rays swim or glide.  I can almost imagine classical music in the background.
  
  
  A cool seafan.  I always feel cold when I see this picture.  Wintery colors.

  Leaving Manta Bay.  Such a gorgeous day. . . nice and warm.  The water was soooo cold tho.

  Local delicacy. .. Suckling Pig.
  
  
  The Suckling Pig Special Combo Plate.  Pork skin, pork fat, blood sausage, pork meat, and chillies.  Yummy!!!
  
  
  A street vendor selling peanuts and corn.
  
  
  The yummy grilled corn glazed with honey butter. . . I’m craving another one now.
  
  
  Fried Bananas.  They slice it thin and bias cut, then breaded and deep fried to a perfect crisp.  AND they eat it with birds eyes chillies.  Those things are SPICY!
