If you are one of the thousands of scooter drivers on the island of Bali, and you find yourself in a pinch for gas, not a problem. One of the many things that caught my eye on my first visit to Bali were these roadside "gas in a liter bottle" stands. I soon realized that all these scooters probably run out of gas a lot quicker than they can make it to the next legitimate gas station. (Especially those who live in the less populated north part of the island.) I don't know how much of a mark up they place on it, but if you are desperate, you don't have much choice. I love the photo of the guy smoking just a few short feet from the stand.
My name is Corey. I moved to Bali a year ago this month from the States. After much deliberation, my partner and I decided to leave the Isle of Manhattan for a different kind of island life. Now, at the extreme encouragement of one of my friends (and you know who you are), I have started a photo blog of my time and experience here on the island of Bali. Hope you enjoy.
