April 28-May 2: Ubud

After a few days in the busy beach area of Kuta/Legian in the southern part of Bali, we headed into the interior of the island, to the “artsy” town of Ubud. It reminded me of a Balinese “Napa” – lots of nice restaurants, beautiful, serene scenery, and art galleries. Ubud has always been known as a center for the arts, but even more  so after famous European artists hung out here in the 1930s. Ubud was one of my favorite places, but not really a place for kids. There wasn’t a lot to “DO” – it was more a place you just hung out and took in the spirit of the place. There was every shade of green imaginable – from the terraced rice paddies to the jungle out the back door. Before arriving, we had a few places in mind to stay, but the taxi driver thatdrove us toUbud “had a friend” (as usual) who had a guesthouse which ended up being perfect. It was down a quiet lane through the rice paddies, and near a river, which you could hear gurgling below. We had a patio with a beautiful view of the jungle beyond.

One of the nice restaurants (above). This rice paddy was being readied for planting. Must have been a beautiful spot when the fields were green.

Tasha LOVED the silver-smithing classes she took – one in Thailand and one here in Ubud. Here are the results of her classes.

Much to the kids’ amusement, I couldn’t get enough of these rice terraces

    Common sense prevails when it comes to how many of each denomination a poker chip set will come with. Usually, the next to smallest size denomination will end up being the most used chip of the bunch and the highest dollar amounts are generally the least used. For example, the Monte Carlo set comes with 100 whites, 150 reds, 100 greens, 100 blacks, 25 purples, and 25 yellows. So, if you happen to see a chipset that is top-heavy on chip counts, steer clear. This set is a middle-of-the-road option. It comes with more pieces than the Brybelly carousel, but its chip range ends at $100. Overall, though, if you’re looking for a comprehensive starter kit for your poker games, you should consider the KAILE Clay Poker Chips Set. Playing poker without chips is like dancing without music. You can do it, but it is no fun. For most professional players, poker chips are not just a means to raise and call but a way to keep their hands busy and minds running. Playing poker in a group of 4-9 players is fun, and playing with poker chips, shuffling, stacking, and re-stacking like a fidget is something many players love. Some can’t even imagine a poker game without a premium poker chips.
