Hot and sweaty, walking the steets in Ubud, Bali I’m lured into Pundi Pundi by the smell of the BBQ smoke and the promise of free WiFi.
“large Bintang please”
I’m sure I’ve consumed more than my own body weight of Bintang, the local beer, this week. Which must be healthier than our [...]
Hi
Tuesday is Paddy’s Day so it would be rude not to do Mexican… I mean Irish. Yep, the food is not great but i’m sure we will compensate with some good yarns.
And, this is advanced warning - next week is the 10th Birthday of Tuesday Night Dinners. So please, come along and celebrate a decade [...]
