- PPPP stands for Piss Pot Perambulators Pedestrian Pub Crawl
- At each stop everyone drinks 1-2 beers, depending on the place or how fast you can drink…
- We started at the Boat Club and took Katinkatinks (a native Indonesian style boat meant for about 2-3 people) with about 15 people on each to the 1st stop, a raft on the other side of the lake.
- 2nd stop required another Katinkatink ride to Theiss bar on the edge of town…
- After Thiess bar were trips to CC’s bar, then Colours (which was closed), a trip to Rakmah Satu (Rakmah 1) and then Rakmah Dua (Rakmah 2). Rakmah 2 only had Bali Hai and warm Bintang, so many people headed back to Rakmah Satu for some cold Anker.
- The 7th stop was Sinar Haripan, a hotel bar and then a hike to Luciana’s and Pelangi (a couple of restaurants). Then another hike to the Golf Club where we had some pizza, courtesy of the TAB.
- The 10th stop was to a small store near the houses that is the size of many large houses walk-in closets. The final stop was back at the TAB, close to where we started.
- With 11 stops and average of about 1.25 beers per stop, I would estimate that most people who were drinking beer had 13-14 beers.
Asian Air Travel
- Overall, Cathay Pacific, despite my flight from Vancouver to Hong Kong on the way there, was a pretty good airline and business class is the only way to fly. They put American Airlines business class to shame!
- Singapore Airlines and Garuda Indonesia Airlines were both top notch as well. Again, much better than business class on American Airlines.
- Airline food in the above airlines is actually very good!
- Free beer in business class really helps you sleep on these long flights. Typically, I can never sleep on the pane for any appreciable amount of time.

Welcome home. I know how I feel after just a few days away from home; it’s great to be home, huh?!!

Sure is good to be home. I am mostly adjusted, but still get tired mid-afternoon and still have to think hard about which lever is for the blinkers/wipers. It is getting better though everyday…
Also, I still try to push in a clutch while starting my car and turn off the car before putting it in park…

Just to add to the general chorus, welcome back.
