Villa Asmara

"Asmara" is a Javanese word meaning love. Villa Asmara was definitely a labour of love for the developer of this 8-villa project, perched on a site that was literally carved into the cliff face off the coast just south of Nusa Dua. These gorgeous views of the ocean with perfect waves crashing in the distance, were what GP and i left Bali with, after a week-long holiday that left me wondering if i shouldn't look into living in somewhere as beautiful as Bali. For US$875,000, you can purchase one of these beautiful properties with 670 sqm land and 500sqm built-up area on a supposedly freehold land title. Marketed by Tropical Homes.

What's in a name?

Tokyo - clearly where I'm blogging from, and Doorknob, is a tribute to my good friend Jane, who gave me my first journal when I was 16. I called the journal (and every journal I've kept since) "doorknob". I wanted a simple, somewhat random name, yet with the subtle meaning of an entree to my inner thoughts.
