Bali so far

We arrived in Bali and were met with a 3 hour wait for our driver which was really annoying. We are staying in legian in su's crappages (cottages) which aren't really up to my usual standards but do the job for a bed and a shower rats included.

Placement starts at 8-1 though we usually leaver earlier. We all spent the first two weeks on obs and gynae. Iesha plays with babies all day whilst Sarah and I see deliveries. We hae seen forceps and auction deliveries. There is again no pain relieve and tw women go through the whole thing in almost silence.

I have seen one horrific badly managed shoulder dystocia which will stay with me forever and resulted in a severely brain damaged baby and a traumatised and traumatic I jury to mum.

We have spent most afternoons on the beach though we have also been out clubbing a few times with the crazy Leeds medics and have gone white water rafting which was great.

Bali is a weird place it is full of bogan Australians. It is very expensive to liver probably more similar to Spain than somewhere in Asia. It is nice but not somewhere I would return as other places in Asia but at least the weather is great. This weekend we went tithe gili islands which was much more like the paradise that I was hoping Bali would be. It also was much more European. Though the boat ride was sooooo rough!!! I have also been surfing 4 times and am getting the hang of it slowly. It only costs 3-4£ for a days rental.

Hope everyone at home is well! Just over 4 weeks left!
