1.. You can’t think out there. If you think, you’re dead.

2. If you come within 100 km of a waterfall, you will be required to go to that waterfall and climb many stairs until you reach the top.

Yes, that’s the correct word, “frolicking.” And even more slightly less annoying by the fact that there’s a bar at the top.

3. If you see a family grilling meats on sticks on the side of the road, pull over immediately and eat. You need the energy. Plus, it will be delicious.

The lady, whose name I don’t know yet, but I will update you tomorrow, will bring you beer, take your food order, go to the kitchen and cook your food, and clean up afterward. Unless you meet someone’s grandma in Ubud, which is doubtful, this is as good as it gets.
