The beach is a major factor in any island holiday and Bali has a coastline which offers every possible

number of breaks as does Sanur; Canggu, Ketewel and the area around the airport are also popular with

My Persian Cat

Gregory is my beautiful gray Persian cat. He walks with pride and grace, performing a dance of disdain as
he slowly lifts and lowers each paw with the delicacy of a ballet dancer. His pride, however, does not
extend to his appearance, for he spends most of his time indoors watching television and growing fat.



He enjoys TV commercials, especially those for Meow Mix and 9 Lives. His familiarity with cat food
commercials has led him to reject generic brands of cat food in favor of only the most expensive brands.

Gregory is as finicky about visitors as he is about what he eats, befriending some and repelling others.
He may snuggle up against your ankle, begging to be petted, or he may imitate a skunk and stain your
favorite trousers. Gregory does not do this to establish his territory, as many cat experts think, but to
humiliate me because he is jealous of my friends.

After my guests have fled, I look at the old fleabag snoozing and smiling to himself in front of the
television set, and I have to forgive him for his obnoxious, but endearing, habits.
