Club Med Bali – New City Beat
The second season of new City Beat has got some changes..First and foremost, change of casts..Adrian is off to pangdemonium(all the best!) and Gurmit off to his 1 month hiatus in Italy(WOW!) and Yifong coming in as the new host..Secondly, instead of an hour long programme, it is now a half hr slot:) Thirdly, expanding areas of coverage with the new item of travel destinations:)(Yipeeee) and that brought me to Club Med Bali:)
This trip boasts quite a lot of {first time} for me:) This is the first time that i visit Club med..A decade long revisit to Bali…The first time hosting with Dasmond Koh( guest appearance in this segment)..first time going to sleep three nights in a row in a semi drunken state..and the list goes on for quite a fair bit..
And now to Club Med..hmm…my knowledge of this establishment mainly stems from reading off magazines and papers..knowing of their endless streams of activities and their GO’s enthusiasm..Being whom i am, naturally i will shy away from all these ooh la lassss and much prefer a resort that is quiet where everyone mind their own business.. However, this trip proved me wrong because i actually had a ball of a time! First of all, u pay a flat rate ,somewhere between $900-$1200, and that includes the airfare,the accomodation,all the meals you need and all the drinks you can possibly consume..and the activities here are quite well thought out..lead by the GM Stephan Noublanche,a charismatic french man who knew all about entertainment,his team left a wonderful impression on all of us:)
Needless to say, the facilities here are really comprehensive..You will probably find almost all the sporting activities that you desire..the sun over here is scorching hot, giving me a real super tan that i so desired,even throwing in two days of sun burnt discomfort..but, hey, me not complaining though, to have that sun kissed look, you just have to stomach in just a wee bit of discomfort:)
Most of the time, i play the role of the entertainer..this time round, i entertain you guys on the tele with the club entertaining me:) kudos to the wonderful team for making such a beautiful effort to make everyone feel welcomed and most often than not,bring a smile onto all our faces:) To sum it all up, the club, the sand,the sea,the sky and the people..it makes you go CLUBing like MED!
