on my recent trip to Singaraja, a few weeks ago, one of the things i particularly enjoyed about the small city were the many long boulevards throughout the city. they gave such a feel of an old european city. add to this some very old dutch architecture, due to the fact that back in the day it was the Dutch colonial administrative centre, and you have a little city that is steeped in history, tradition, a melting pot of cultures and a quiet sleepy atmosphere that makes you feel like you wanna cruise along those lazy boulevards forever...

Nice to know my people, the Dutch, left something nice behind... ;)
Very nice... It brought back childhood memories living in Long Beach, California.... We used to play hide & seek behind the big palms. Beautiful roads.... They look so peaceful there! If I close my eyes and focus, I can feel the light breeze there ....
miss footloose - yes, the architecture truly is beautiful in that city...a lasting testament to the dutch presence...it gives such a different feel to the city.
jeni...i lvoe being reminded of forgotten memories too...
