Bali
‘I really didn’t come to Bali to shop,’ said Jen as we wandered aimlessly around the nearby shopping precinct, ‘I don’t need a new wardrobe.’
‘Same,’ I replied, ‘or souvenirs or anything.’
‘I know, right,’ Gab agreed, ‘we’re not here for shopping.’
‘This shop looks nice, do you want to just have a browse around?’
‘Ok, just for a little OH MY GOD I LOVE EVERY SINGLE THING IN THIS SHOP!’
‘Look at this cushion. No look at this cushion. Look at them together!’ Two cushions!’
‘And this dress! Look at this dress! You could have a cushion AND MATCHING DRESS!’
‘How beautiful are these bowls?’
‘So beautiful. I love this one.’
‘I love THIS one. So beautiful.’
‘Over here, have you seen the sarongs?’
‘Not yet, but have you seen the peacocks?’
‘PEACOCKS?! Oh my God they’re so beautiful.’
‘Oh, look, these dresses are gorgeous. Look at this one! No, look at this one! Oh, look at this one! I LOVE THEM ALL.’
‘Have we seen these shirts already?’
‘Maybe? Is this still the same shop?’
‘Look at this. No seriously look at this. LOOK AT THIS!’
‘Is this a bird? This is a bird. I would definitely buy this.’
‘This shop is never ending. Where’s Jen?’
‘I don’t know. Where are we? Where did we come in? I LOVE THIS FABRIC!’
‘It’s beautiful. Touch it!
‘Beautiful.’
‘It comes in a bag! The bag is beautiful!’
‘Where’s the front door? I can no longer see the outside. Ooh, these shorts are cute.’
‘So cute. These giraffes are cute.’
‘So cute.’
‘There’s Jen.’
‘Where’s Gab?’
‘She was just here. Oh my God, that top would look amazing on you.’
‘It comes in a dress too.’
‘Beautiful.’
‘Beautiful.’
‘Oh, I haven’t seen these pants before. Hey, are we in the same shop?’
‘There’s Gab.’
‘We’re definitely lost. Wait, look at this gorgeous fabric, look at the beautiful box it comes in. LOOK AT IT!’
‘Beautiful.’
‘Beautiful.’
‘There’s the exit.’
‘Ok you wait outside, I’ll go back and find Jen.’
‘Jen, there you are OH MY GOD LOOK AT THESE SARONGS.’
‘Beautiful. Here’s that beautiful shirt again.’
‘Ooh, and the dress.’
‘These shorts, they’re so soft! LOOK! LOOK! So blue!’
‘So beautiful.’
‘Where’s Gab?’
‘Oh I forgot, she’s outside.’
‘Here’s the exit, here’s Gab.’
‘We should come back here tomorrow, I could use a new wardrobe.’
‘We definitely should.’
‘Ok.’
‘Ok.’
‘Ok.’
