Getting the flock out of here - a diary of a crazy chicken man

[ozexpat]

Mrs Oz is currently watching a Barong Dance in Bali. A Filipina college friend of hers flew in last night from Oz so they are doing a tourist day.

Gosh I love languages...

Filipinos always have a nick name. Her friend's is klengkleng - it means bull$h** in Balinese.
