Looking back at Bali-
After a 9 year hiatus, i returned to Bali. I havent been back to Bali since i was 17, so i wanted to show a few photos that show the new development in the Ulu Watu area.
Bali-year 2000- just the Beginning of the Blue Point resort
Ulu Watu-2009- check out the new resort
2009- and all the new warung's. Including a surfshop called Gangsta surf, a fake cement wave to take photos in, and 6 different people shooting with 600-Lenses-just to sell the tourist photos.
2000-Path to the 'Gong' hotel. I paid this 50-year-old bali lady to carry my boards from Ulu watu to this hotel, probably for less than 2 dollars,what a young punk i was!
2009-Development over old path, i think the lady in the photo above was walking through where these buildings sit today.
2000-age 17 with the owners of the gong hotel
New and improved Gong hotel year 2009
One thing that hasnt changed: the waves!
