Ticket Cutter

I miss the charm of the old ticket cutting machines at arcades. Bringing that pile of tickets gained from weeks/months of grinding on various games and watching all that go into a shredder and incrementing a number to see whether you can actually get that big prize you were gunning for. Sure, there’s still a few places with these machines, but almost all of them are self-service at this point, while the rest just digitally add the tickets straight to your card. Some games even digitally add it at the same pace as the paper ticket dispensing, making it extra boring. Oh, this got me a Mickey Mouse backpack which I still kept to this day, though I’m not sure whether its a counterfeit or not (it feels really cheap but at the same time has a Disney hologram and licensing info so idk).

Misty Cabin

It’s a byproduct of a very humid Bali climate and a cold plane cabin, but initially it made me a little worried ngl.

Chilean Sea Bass @ TWG Cafe

When you’re a little more peckish at tea time.

Legian Beach

If nothing else, at least a visit to the beach would do for a brief layover in Bali.

Fried Mantou

A big carb bomb for dessert is a bit of a put-off, but the condensed milk still made it delectable.

Bonus!

Mastering my way through a different arcade game. I do love the resurgence of skill-based bonuses and jackpots.

Airport Breakfast

Had to ask for a morning glass of champagne because it’s at a lounge and it’s free.
