Hi Dieuwer We did try it. It's unique and definitely worth a try but not something to write home about. I prefer a nice cold brew with a little half&half. ^

And how did you protect your camera from the sponge effect?
When I was in Bali, my camera that has been sitting in my cool room immediately was covered in water/moisture the moment I stepped outside with it. The whole lens fogged up.

nice report, sir...

everytime I read reports about Bali, especially by Americans like you, I always feel proud of my country... but I'm also jealous that even as an Indonesian I've never visited those resorts... so sad...

by the way, the Asiana's A380 also looks great, although some of my friends told me about their uncomfortable experiences in Asiana, especially at ICN-CGK sector with their A330s...

Awesome report!

Just an fyi- You could have used the OZ F lounge after your jfk-icn flight. As long as you have a same day F ticket your good. My girl and I did that flight last year(connected to PNH in C)...it was phenomenal.

Thanks anak_negeri! beautiful country and beautiful people! OZ was nice and an enjoyable ride, however I would probably stay away from the A330s.

Thanks Gripevo I had read varying reports of accessibility for incoming F passengers and by that point I was still so boozed up and delirious from not sleeping much that I didn't even give attempting access to the F lounge a shot. Next time!
