Galaxy

There's a basketball court at the town center in Gianyar and lately I've been playing some pick-up ball there. While I was playing the other day I met some college kids from Denpasar and they asked if I could play with them next Sunday. So as pulled up on my motor bike I saw a couple refs and two teams in full uniforms and a big crowd waiting for the game to start. So, naturally I assumed that something had been lost in translation (my bahasa still has a long way to go) and they just wanted me to watch their game. Nope. One of the guys walked over and handed me a Jersey and we started doing lay-up lines. The game was a blast and we pulled out a nail-biter with a few late baskets in the fourth quarter. We have a big game aganist klung kung next week so hopefully can get anouther mark in the win column.

Also, as I side note I've lost all respect for "big men" in basketball. As out of positon as it seemed for me, I played the 4 and 5 spot in the game and it's a joke, it's so easy to score and pick up rebounds and blocks.
