For a month yes yeah how much is it for Honda click for one month that’s okay I’m happy with that yes yes when it comes to food changu is an absolute gem with such a wide variety of restaurants to choose from chengu attracts a lot of digital Nomads so many restaurants also tend to be work spaces you’ll spot a lot of people grabbing a coffee or a bite to eat while also doing some work from their computers here’s a few of the popular spots that we found serving either breakfast or brunch first up there’s the Shady shark and this is an outdoor setting overlooking rice fields you can enjoy a nice Cool Breeze while feasting on some nutritious food this is where we tried our first ever smoothie balls and I can definitely say it certainly won’t be the last time as they are absolutely delicious the next stop is create Cafe which is so popular there was constantly a queue of people waiting to be served and the staff here were so friendly and helpful you can park your bike and someone will cover the seat for you to prevent it from getting too hot in the Sun the portions of food we received together were bigger than expected and very tasty create Cafe claims to have the fastest internet in all Channel another restaurant which is definitely worth a visit is nude head here for something naughty or nice their motto is that eating a little naughty now and again is okay healthy one day but then on another day indulge in maybe some pulled pork or one of their sweet treats that they have on offer there’s also some dedicated workspace here so you can combine doing a little bit of work with having a breakfast or a brunch the prices at all of these restaurants are reasonable expect to pay around 200 000 Indonesian rupiah for two people there’s plenty for you to see and do in changu one of the activities that we loved the most was a visit to tan a lot at sunset tan a lot is probably one of the most visited places in all of Bali it’s about a 25 minute ride from changu so it seems to be a pattern that a lot of locals think that Jerry is Balinese don’t they and he’s been learning a little bit of Balinese recently so when we got to tan a lot and we peered at the entrance it’s 60 000 Indonesian rubia for a foreigner but it’s how much Jerry for a domestic person 20 000 rupiah 20 000 and the guy who was on the ticketing Booth he thought Jerry was a local saw Jerry paid the local price of 20 000 Indonesian rupiah result the way he thought I am the Indonesian people I went I said something Indonesian orang Indonesian something like that and then he just shot me 20 anyway so I feel a bit lucky at the entrance along the way to the temple you can find a lot of souvenir shops and we spotted something that we decided to try vegan noodle is ah okay okay
