before guam i was in saipan togeather with my balinesse girlfriends, 20 of them to be exact, we all worked at mandara spa saipan. i was their'e supervisor for 2 years most of them become my best friend and soon my new found family. after i got married on June of 2003 i moved to guam a year after that 6 of my girlfriends moved to guam with me. now its more than 20 of us balinesse girls on guam.
even though we far from home, we tried to make the best of it, we proudly keeping our culture and heritage, every so often we gather for prayer or small party. best thing about living on the island is we can get free janur(coconut leaf) for canang sari or little flower offering.
we love and miss our beautifull island of bali and we dedicated this blogs for bali and its culture, cuisine, way of life and abundace beauty.
