Roadside Gas in a Bottle!





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.
