    I just ran that post through MS word, OK I got average wrong with an extra g and I forgot a capital B in Balinese. Your post though with the "Rather that your memory" is a disaster.

      I meant it was hard to work out who was who, etc not commenting on the grammar or spelling.

        "can you rewrite it, this time in English?"

        "can you rewrite it this time in English?"

        Or...

        "can you rewrite it? this time in English?

Bravest thing I have ever seen.
                Errrrr, maybe you should look at your own spelling first? I was commenting on the fact that your story was difficult to read.

                  Oddly, I described Kuta as the Australian Tenerife yesterday. It's not as bad as a Benidorm, the Australians there are mainly surfer kids who just want to talk about the waves.

                  No malaria risk in Bali, got a last minute typhoid shot Yesterday.

                    If you cannot work out who was who in that paragraph...

                    Do you want me to get a map and point out Bali and Australia?

                    Notice I do not write that as...
