Went to dinner last night in Ubud at a place called Clear. It had the Star Wars Bar vibe which made me feel about how plain I was amongst all the characters from around the world. Swanky and stylish vs regular dude. At first maybe I was a little disinclined to engage with them but after watching for awhile and remembering that many are here for the same reasons I eventually relaxed and observed all the interesting people like my mom taught me 25 years ago in Ann Arbor. The bridge was divided and I was right in there in the social soup.
