Gender Mas & Suarti: Ubud Bali

Ubud is loaded with lovely shops and galleries selling art, antiques and interior design gear. This afternoon I stopped into a couple of places on Jl. Raya Ubud. The first was Gender Mas, a shop stocking original work by a selection of artists from all over Bali, including Karangasem. I asked the staff, a muscly young guy called Gede (single women take note), how much the merchandise was. He quoted prices or 30m rp, 25m rp etc. for the small 3 foot status. he told me there is another shop in the village of Mas, a few kilometers away.

The second place I checked out was Suarti, across from Gender Mas on Jl. Raya Ubud, same side as Cafe Lotus. Suarti specializes in interior decoration, including dining, silver wear and elegant ornaments. Open 8am-8.30pm. Other shops located in Kuta, Sanur. The head office is located at Jl. Raya Celuk #100X, Sukawati.

Casa Luna on a rainy afternoon in Bali

Bali has been steamy today, or least the part where I am. Arriving in Ubud, we were hoping for rain, to cool the place down. Sure enough, around 2pm it poured. Realizing this and wanting to crank out some articles, I ducked into Cassa Luna on Jl. Raya Ubud and sat out back, under the roof.

As the rain lashed down, I smoked my key board with finger power, belting out the facts of my Ubud adventure so far. This while session was powered by 2 arak madu’s which Casa Luna does very well. An hour I was feeling tired, you know that part of the afternoon, when your head gets heavy and you just want to crash? Solution: a lime cream pie, full of sugar and just the thing to counter the arak. Now I’m zooming again, and will head back to the losman (that’s an old time term for guest house), and shower. Toby put Maya to bed for a nap, hoping she can stay awake tonight so he can go out after 6pm. I tell you, I am so lucky with Jevon, I can take that little bugger anywhere, the coffee shop, the bar, the restaurant, he just doesn’t care. Hope Toby gets some free time while he’s in Bali.
