First full day in Ubud. It is as hot, noisy and entirely engulfing as you may have read, heard and/or seen. The beginning of this two week, entirely self-indulgent jaunt has been kicked off with

Six awesome ways to kill time when you have a delayed flight

Well. For anyone who'd like to know - I'm sitting at the Sunshine Coast airport and my plane has been delayed.
