I flew from Vientiane to Denpasar, and then picked up my left luggage at
Ngurah Rai airport. Thereat I found it missing that the pouch contained
first-aid kit, some drugs. It was in outside pocket of my luggage; fortunately,
inside was undamaged.
Since zippers didn't break, the pouch must be stolen. I wondered what will
thieves do it. I thought that only valuable good is Panadol Cold &
Flu for them.
It was constant raining while I took a taxi for Ubud. I thought it was just squall; however, hotel staff said it had been rainy during the past week in spite of dry season. I had a dinner with my friend of World Investors, Pharm who stayed in Ubud since 20th September. He also complained about bad weather. We were planning to go hiking; however, If it had been rainy, I might have killed time with getting Balinese massage. Actually World Investors member intended to gather together here like last year in Hong Kong, Pharm and I were relieved as we departed from our plans.
