Day 1（23 April, 2010 Friday）
We Arrived at Ngurah Rai Airport at 14:50pm local time. We were warmly welcomed by Open Fairways’ Local co-worker Gede and then Transfered to Nusa Dua, check in in Pan Pacific Nirwana Golf Resort.Before arrive in Bali, we checked from internet and discussed with Gede for choosing the best hotel. Lots of people may choose Hyatt which is more famous and expensive; some may prefer Intercontinanetal Bali which lots of Chinese clients like. But for the best price and golfers, Nirwana gets golf resort style and good price.
