Why Bali?

Some time ago, when I was lost (not a new thing for me, hehe), I was thinking about my future, and what I would like to do. The job I had at that time I didn't consider as a long term job (for many reasons, see soon "Why I quit the job), so I was trying to figure out what I should/could do with my life. Honestly, I didn't have many ideas. I only knew I couldn't waste time any more. In situations like this, I ask myself: what could be the best option for me?.... And I remembered myself in Bali, being relaxed, in peace with myself, enjoying life, living my dream...That's what I needed – to escape to a paradise, at least something new would happen. I needed CHANGES!

So why Bali?

• No winters (unlike Chinese strange climate, which I can't stand)

• Paradise (remember pictures in magazines?)

• I love Indonesian food (hmm..I feel like I could eat anything, except Chinese cuisine)

• Visa free for 30 days

• I left a part of my heart in Bali when I was there in May this year

• tourism is very developed (most guests are Russian and Chinese=possibilities to find a job related to my previous experience in hospitality)

• Smiling warm-hearted people

• A thought, that it could be my last chance to go there

I bought a ticket, and therefore I got a plan for the next few months. (I wanted to go there and try to find a job for 2-3 months). Want to know how I prepared before the trip? You might think I was jobhunting online. Not really, all I did – updated CV, made a few copies, googled vacancies a week before the trip, and what I found out could be concluded into one sentence: with my abilities, knowledge of Russian and Chinese, recent experience in hospitality, it won't be a problem to get a job in Bali.(not mentioning my confidence to get what I want. hehe). So I bought a new backpack, the night before departure I asked my friend to store my bags at her place till I come back. (That's what we need friends for). What else? Sent 5 (!) resumes, got 2 replies. One of them with "the position has been filled", and another one with a positive response. What was it? You'll find out in my next post.
