Though I did see a McDonald s at the airport. One thing McDonald s does which is admirable, aside from keeping their bathrooms clean and free so people like me can use them in any city in the world without having to eat there, is put one or two localized items on the menu. Hence the McSteak and Kidney Pie in England and the McP t in France. Here in Bali they have Paket Nasi , which is rice with some fried chicken for Rp7500, or about 85 . While this is a nice touch, it s not nearly as nice as Bolivia where they expanded the usual drink selection to include tea made from coca leaves, which coincidentally are the same leaves used to make cocaine.
Some countries have all the luck.
For some odd reason eating with my hands wasn t nearly as much fun as I think it should be. If you re one of those people who like knives, this isn t the place for you. The Balinese traditionally eat with their hands, though now many of them use spoons. They also use forks, but only to push the food into the spoon, not to stab anything. Progress moves slowly here.
