What's so exciting about doing a residency is probably that you are given opportunity to travel, for free! Seminar ticket, flight, accommodation... are all in the bag. And when Bali is a destination, you know you'd do anything not to miss it. I'm now in 2nd week rotation in Infection & Immunology Division, moreover, my last case presentation was about a misdiagnosed of ocular HIV. So anything about AIDS, will always tickle me. Intended for an ophthalmology meeting titled,"Aids & the Eye", me and a dearly friend of mine, Seruni, had made a quick weekend getaway. We decided to arrive a day earlier, so that we could spare our Saturday for a vacation. Almost forgot the last time I've been here. But looks like the island had never lost its beauty and will always leave special place in my heart every time I visited this place. Hadn't much to say at the very moment, I'll let my photos speak themselves. Hope you enjoy...
