As
the clock strikes midnight, I find myself sitting upstairs
in the legendary Made's Warung, oldest and most famous of
Kuta's inany street-side cafes. Nursing a gin and tonic,
I slip into a near trance as the "beautiful people"
of Kuta swirl about me.
On the
table to my left, a sensuous lady proudly announces that
she shared a glass of champagne with David Bowie the night
before at the Oberoi. "Sting is coming soon, too -
he's having a concert atop Gunung Agung to save the forests."
Just beyond her a corpulent businessman grins with delight,
surrounded by a bevy of Jakartan beauties. A bald-headed
chap cruises the floor below in T-shirt and black knickers.
Soon,
Made's begins to close up. Last drinks down the hatch and
a final scan of the crowd to see who's about and what's
happening. It's disco night tonight, but they start up late,
so for the next hour or so it's on to Legian's Goa 2001
for further "warming up."
Unlike
upscale Sanur and Nusa Dua, Kuta's clubs are freewheeling
places with no dress code. There is Peanuts, the Sari Club
and Paddy's-all on the JI. Legian strip. While a little
further up the beach, follow the late night crowds up to
Double Six Disco, where you can dance until the wee hours
with the moon and palms overhead.
The
day after
Mornings
start late in Kuta - especially if You went to bed with
a hangover at 5 am. Fortunately, strong cappuccinos and
aspirin are always available at Benny's. If you're a people-watcher,
keep your eyes open at all times. One favorite game is to
guess where all the people come from and what they're doing
in Bali. It's easy to distinguish the leathery-skinned old
timers from pale-faced tenderfoots, and with experience
one develops a sixth sense for more subtle differences.
The first
order of business is to go shopping. Considering the number
and variety of shops in Kuta, this is a daunting task. You
can start with the street vendors and small shops if you
dare but don't be surprised if you later find what you've
just bought for half the price in a fancy shop. Batik shirts,
rattan bags, and other treasures from around the archipelago
should be tops on your list.
When
you're broke or have had enough of the street life, take
a stroll to the beach. If you feel lithe and beautiful,
you might want to join the g-string crowd at the Blue Ocean,
where the revelers you met the previous night will be playing
paddle-ball. The surfing is great here and the sunsets magnificent.
As for the hawkers - don't let them get you uptight. A little
humor and a firm "NO" is all you need. Before
getting a massage, make sure you fix the price. Tell her
to lay off the coconut oil unless you want to feel like
greasy fried rice garnished with sand afterwards.
After
a shower and a change, it's time to eat. There's at least
one restaurant in Kuta specializing in every major cuisine
in the world. Then it's back to Made's and the clubs for
another nocturnal round. If you love it enough, you may
decide to contract a house, start a business, and become
a confirmed Kuta expatriate.
