I just got back from Bali today. At the start of the holiday, I thought I would purchase one of those glass bowls melted on a tree root. Managed to pick one up in Ubud for about $20. Could have got cheaper, but I don't bother bartering. Anyway, it turns out that when I showed the chap at customs the wood, he said there was a tiny hole which could be a borer hole. Therefore I could pay $100 to have it fumigated or leave it to be destroyed. I happily left it at the airport, and now have a nice looking glass bowl.

Here's a pic of the bowl:


And the notice given by the lovely chap at Perth Airport this morning:


To be honest, I don't know why I bought it in the first place. Too small for a fish. Looks cool though.
Anyone else purchased one of these bowls in Bali?

Im confused....and im not introducing myself!

 

I mean, i am confused by firstly the thread, then the picture, and the DAFF statement and then the reply.....my brain just cant compute whats happening....

 

I sense the link between this post and fish keeping but its the one line, fraggle rock response that really put pushed me over the deep end.....

 

Is it a side ways drift at Kermit, does Malawiman dislike the eagles, or is 34 just the new hateful 8 or are we really talking about flowers here?

 

Well, my pun laden, rant about glassware with tiny imperfections, proof that it was crafted by the honest, simple, hard-working indigenous people of........where did you get it again or was that just Tyler talking?

 

Any way you look at it, its Friday and there's nothing on my mind.

 

Well this post is....

So you'd be one of those people that go to Bali and argue with poor people over a couple of bucks? Just kidding
I just can't be bothered bartering. Don't mind paying a bit extra too. I feel sorry for the Balinese. They live a very simple life. Not a huge fan of some of the Jawa though
