post bali pre bangkok

I intented to write a full report from bali and upload some photos first thing after coming home, but as things turn out, I've just been working and currently packing some stuff for Bangkok this weekend.
Bali was good. Worked pretty much full days but didn't start very early in the mornings so I could catch up with some friends and see the nitelife at Legian Street. Pretty good, came home 4 on Sunday morning...
The site was not a mess, but not organised. It seemed very unlikely that the upper floor would be ready until Wednesday's party but seeing the place reasonably cleaned up and nicely lit (well, after some adjustments...) on Sunday night gave some hope. Interesting working with Indonesians. One person going nuts with sandpaper and another one below trying to clean up the floor...
One guy building a brick wall somewhere, until they're told it's not supposed to be one there.
Wall lights ending up as recessed downlights (turned out pretty well actually, luckily) and I'm not going to write the full list of interesting things here.
Had lunch at Four Seasons in Jimbaran (check this list not bad at all!) and stayed at Bali Hyatt. Dont even know want to know the cost, but nice place. Even managed to get a run along the beach in the sunset before going back to site for night check. Gosh this was a hard trip.
The local electrician was nice, but didn't have too much experience of reading drawings, so he was very very very happy that i came around and explained and pointed. The clients also seemed very relieved.

Can't write too long, have to finish a few things before flying off to Bangkok tomorrow afternoon. Weekend of leisure, shopping and fun is awaiting.
