year. Raining or not, we are sure that you will feel the joy being with beloved ones on this beloved island.
For this joyous December issue, we visited the Balinese villages of Palasari and Blimbingsari in West Bali, where Christmas is the holiest day on their calendar and classic Christmas carols echo from homes on this Hindu-dominated island. Certainly fit to be made as a model for religious tolerance, these two villages are where to go if you feel like celebrating Christmas in a traditional Balinese style (see page 22).
The Balinese Hindus, on the other hand, are also expecting their own Christmas this December. Yet, Christmas trees will never be in sight; instead, the skillfully decorated bamboo poles (known as penjor) are everywhere to be found. The Balinese Christmas, known as Galungan, is celebrated to mark the victory of virtue over evil. Anyway, what were going to tell you now is about the days before Galungan, when preparations to commemorate the victory take place (see page 30).
Our other regular features are still here; therefore, enjoy reading! And enjoy Bali, too! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, everyone!
Now that Christmas and New Year are approaching, Bali is seeing more and more visitors coming to the island. Yep, nothing can be more exciting than welcoming the holiday season. The currently uncertain weather conditions, however, makes it hard to predict whether or not Bali will celebrate a wet Christmas and New Year this time of
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Frangipani
T Y P IC A L BA L I
I grew up knowing frangipani as dead peoples flower. And unlike lotus, rose, tulip, orchid and others, frangipani is often over-looked by photographers, especially those in pursuit of fine art flowers photography.
Anyway, though not really native to the island, frangipani is very identical with Bali. Once youve checked in at your hotel or villa and are headed to your room, it is very likely for you to find the flower lying on the bed sheet or decorating the sink in the bathroom. In fact, if youre staying at a starred accommodation, you will immediately notice this particular flower, for the accommodations staff members will normally put a frangipani necklace around your neck upon arrival.
In Bali, however, frangipani doesnt simply act as mere decoration, for the flower is an essential item used for many Balinese Hindu religious purposes. In fact, the flower is considered as the resemblance of Radhika, the wife of Krishna (one of Vishnus avatars). Thats the reason why moths dont sit on frangipani moths are servants of Krishna. For ceremonies, frangipani is also considered one of the most important offerings for the gods. The flower is also widely used by the Balinese shamans as a healing mediator. This is also why frangipani trees are also planted on temple groundsto provide flowers for deity offering.
Aside from that, frangipani tree, which is also referred as the tree of life, is often planted on graveyards. It is believed that the tree symbolizes the eternal life of the soul.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT
The Balinese people believe that every person has four unseen brothers who always accompany us since we were still in the womb of our mother until we are dead. This belief is called Kanda Pat which literally means the four brothers. Just like the movie Fantastic Four, these four brothers have their own super power. So who are these brothers and what are their names?
When a mother gives birth, there are four major things that enable the birth process to succeed; they are blood, placenta, the fetal membrane and the umbilical cord or the birth cord. However, from the Balinese point of view, those four birth add ons are spiritually considered as the big brothers who will protect the baby in this world.
No, in case you havent met your four brothers yet, let us introduce them to you: Sang Kala (blood), Sang Anta (placenta), Sang Dengen (fetal membrane) and Preta (birth cord). The Balinese belief necessitates that offerings with special mantras should be made for the four in order for them to protect the baby from black magic influences.

VIEW FROM THE CURBSIDE - AN EXPAT COLUMN
W e all know the simple rules of driving or riding on Balis roads. Rule One: Dont have an accident. If you do, and you survive, you will pay. Not your fault? Like hell its not. The other driver or rider might have rocketed into you (without looking) from a tiny side-street, or was overtaking you as you turned right, or crashed into you head-on on your side of the road. But if you are a bule and they are a local, the accident is ipso facto your fault. Its all their side of the road.
Rule Two: If you are a bule, dont stand within 20 metres of an accident between two locals, and never, ever spend more than three seconds looking at the carnage. Dont even consider rushing in to helpyou will
immediately be blamed for the accident, then asked for money for vehicle damage, hospital fees, cremation costs, hurt prideyou name it, there will be an excuse as to why you, the innocent bule, should pay.
Rule Three: Watch out for scams such as the one I witnessed the other day. There I was, enjoying Bali street culture over the rim of a pretentious little cappuccino, when a local rides past, looking intently in his mirrors. Behind him, a young surfer type, shirtless, no helmet, dreamy expression, closes up looking for an opportunity to overtake. With impeccable timing, the local slams on his brakes and stops right in front of me. The surfer has good reflexes, and only
gives rear tyre of the bike in front a light thump as he skids to a halt. The impact is about a quarter as hard as you get from a typical Bali pothole. There is no panel contact and no-one falls off.
I catch a fleeting look of joy on the face of the local as he leaps off his bike, transforms his grin into a contrived mask of shock and rage and screams You pay! You pay! at the stunned lad behind him. Umm, theres no damage, says the surfer. My bike broken! cries the Aggrieved One. You pay me one million!
I break my own rule about non-interference in Bali street theatre. Im flexible like that. I get the surfers attention and tell him its a scam, then pull out my phone and pacify the scammer by saying that I will call the Tourist Police so they can sort it out. Strangely, he is not pacified by my actions, riding off in high dudgeon and yelling out Fak Yu over his shoulder. Its obviously a Chinese curse of some sort, but Google Translate doesnt seem to recognise it.
I wonder how common this particular stunt is? Obviously this little crook was an amateur. A true professional would have at least have demonstrated a better developed sense of drama by falling off his bike and having a bruise that he had prepared earlier

Christmas in West Bali
C hristmas may come as a quiet day here in Bali as a predominately Hindu island. However, tucked away on the Jembrana Regency side of the almost 20,000-hectare West Bali National Park, one could find a little Christmas surprise package. Yes, the western Bali villages of Palasari and Blimbingsari are where to head if you feel like unwrapping your Christmas present in a traditional Balinese style.
Some of you may already know that there are thousands of temples in Bali. It is, therefore, quite surprising that the Catholic church of Palasari and Protestant church of Blimbingsari are standing proud, taking the place of the temples in serving their native Balinese patrons. Palasari is a pretty Catholic village with its Gothic church, which looks like it was carried here from Europe on the wings of angels.
As in all Christian communities, Christmas is the holiest day on the calendar in these two villages, and a day for family and community to come together. Freshly killed pigs, highly decorated penjor (bamboo poles) and the traditional Balinese costumes of sarong, kebaya and belt for women and udeng hats and double sarongs for men are the order of the day. Already from seriously spic-and-span streets of Palasari, classic Christmas carols echo from the homes, each home with its religious symbol of the cross depicted in brickwork above the door.
Today the two Christian villages are surrounded by both Hindu and Moslem communities. Rempug claimed that the region should be made as a model for religious tolerance, pointing out that people of differing religions shared their jungle village homes with respect and friendship.

Young Balinese Dancer
I Kadek Ambara Jaya Kaswara
CONTINUES TO PAGE 28
A long with the Hindu religion, the Indian influences in Balinese dances are also significant. Balinese strong identity adapts these various influences with native religion of animism and folklore traditions, creating an expression distinctively flavored by Balinese ethnicity. Some of the dances are intended to appease the gods and goddesses, with the hope that they will bless the village. Other dances also manifest the great complexity of Balinese daily lives which are never detached from their religious beliefs.
I Kadek Ambara Jaya Kaswara, a young Balinese from Klungkung regency, takes part in the process of conserving Balinese dances as a part of the culture of his home island. Meeting Ambara was a lovely experience that can serve to give visitors a deeper appreciation of just how seriously and totally the Balinese are dedicated to their art.

How did become interested in dancing?I was a gamelan (Balinese orchestra) player; Ive been playing with the orchestra since I was in fourth grade. During then, I accompanied a lot of Balinese dance performances with the orchestra. Watching the dancers move their bodies to the rhythm of the gamelan really captivated me. And so I decided to just learn about Balinese dances.
When did you first make your public appearance?When I was 15 years old the chief of my village in Klungkung asked me to perform a sacred dance during a ritual in the village temple. That was my first public appearance. This first appearance made me even more determined to learn more thoroughly about Balinese dances. This is why I enrolled in the
SMKI (institution that offers Balinese art classes/ high school level).
Is it not enough to just learn on your own?The Balinese dances are not solely about how to dramatically move your body. From the institution I can get to know the philosophies behind each of the dances. It is through the lessons I can now understand how to achieve taksu (sincerity) in performing the dances. Taksu is very important, especially since the Balinese dances are intended for spiritual and religious purposes.
What is the most difficult Balinese dance that you ever performed?Its the Kebyar Duduk dance. Kebyar Duduk is a dance performed entirely while almost seated on the ground, and that you
have to move around in that position. With no narrative to tell, the dancer presents a range of moods from coquettishness to bashfulness, and from sweet imploring to anger. It is very tiring.
Do you know dances from other areas of Indonesia?Yes, because the students at SMKI are also given the knowledge about dances from other areas in Indonesia. My favorite is Tari Merak (peacock dance) from East Java.
What are the ups and downs from being a young, male dancer?My friends used to tease me, especially because I had to put on facial make-up when performing a dance. But I just ignored them, because I knew what I did was to conserve the Balinese culture. And Im happy for it.

Balinese people get all busy welcoming Galungan Day
PREPARINGTHE BIG DAY
FEATURE STORY

THE MAG ISSUE 32 31
repare yourself for the Galungan day, which according to the Balinese calendar will fall this coming December 8th. The 10-day feast ends with Kuningan day, in which during that
period of time, it is believed that all the Balinese Gods will visit the Earth. In order to welcome and appease the Gods, ancestral temples are cleaned, special prayers and offerings are made, and dances are presented.
By late December 7th, the streets of Bali will be fully decorated with giant bamboo poles, creating a very festive atmosphere. On the 18th, streets near the temples will also be crowded with people dressing up in colorful outfits; women are carrying the offerings on their heads and men holding palm leaf offerings in their hands.
Aside from the Gods, it is also believed that the deified ancestors of the family descend to their former homes to rest at this time in their family temple. Those, whose ancestors have not yet been cremated, must go the graveyards and place some offerings there.
If this is your first time to Bali and you dont know what Galungan is, heres a quick description: its Christmas for the Balinese. Of course, Christmas trees will never be in sight; instead, the skillfully decorated bamboo poles (known as penjor) are everywhere to be found. Galungan itself is celebrated to mark the victory of virtue over evil. Anyway, what were going to tell you now is about the days before Galungan, when preparations to commemorate the victory take place.
Anyway, the Balinese people recognize penjor as one of the important items in many rituals and celebrations. It is a symbolization of mountains that provide human beings with safety and welfare as well as an expression of gratitude on the welfare given by God in His manifestation as Hyang Giripati.
Penjor is generally made from a curved tip bamboo pole, decorated with young coconut leaves and other decorations. After being decorated, it is equipped with pala bungkah (tubers), pala gantung (fruits), pala wija (grains) and jajanan (Balinese traditional snacks). Penjor is also equipped with 11 uang kepeng (old coins) and a sanggah (a kind of traditional bamboo wicker used for putting some offerings). Some sampian, offerings made from young coconut leaves and filled with porosan (betel leaves and areca nut) and flowers, are attached on the curved tip of bamboo pole.

THE MAG ISSUE 3232
In welcomimg Galungan Day, the men from every village will gather in the banjar (community center) and work together to make penjor for their village. Some men are responsible to prepare the bamboo poles while others are making decorations from coconut leaves and other materials.
After penjor, the men will carry on preparing the holiday dish on the Penampahan Galungan, one day before Galungan. Also known as the day of slaughter, it might be creepy to know that lives will be sacrificed during Penampahan Galungan. Yet, dont get too carried away with your extreme imagination, because this day will be nothing like the one taking place in Tiananmen, where the Chinese government slaughtered its own people with tanks and guns in 1989. The creature being so unfortunate to get slaughtered during this day is pig! Yep, pigs are a very important ingredient to help celebrate the victorious day.
The men are the ones responsible to slaughter the pigs and cut them into dices. The diced meat will then be mashed to a pulp with a grinding stone and molded onto satay sticks that have been already prepared by whittling small sticks of bamboo. Certainly, this day is not a good day for pigs across the island. Delicate combination of various vegetables, herbs and spices are also prepared by the men to make up the lawar dish. Much of this cooking is also to be used in the offerings at the family temple. The women on the other hand, are busy completing the offerings that they have been preparing days before the Penampahan.
After penjor, the men will carry on preparing the holiday dish on the Penampahan Galungan, one day before Galungan.

GETAWAY
Waterfall at Tegenungan Village
ali has a selection of waterfalls that are fun to visit. For many people the idea of hiking through the jungle to a hidden waterfall and taking a cooling swim is the image
of paradise. If you feel like bringing this image to life, then you should make your way to Tegenungan village, where one of the delightful tourist attractions in Bali is located: Tegenungan waterfall in Gianyar.
Upon arrival at the village you will be amazed by the tranquility and the beautiful view of sprawling rice fields on the right and left side. Moreover, once in a while, we can see the swaying of egrets wings passing over our head as if they taking us back to ancient period. There is only the occasional sound of solitary cars and motorbikes passing through the village; and they belong to visitors coming to see the beauty of the village and its waterfall.
Most of the village residents are farmers, traders, and wood sculptors. An added value is that visitors can observe the villagers while doing their daily routines.
Anyway, exploring the riverbank towards the waterfall, you will be allured by pristine panorama. Though the waterfall itself is not really that high (approximately only 10-15 metres), being surrounded by greeneries with the sound of water running and crushing on the background is just refreshingcertainly a wonderful way to escape from the heat of Kuta and Seminyak.

Bali Community Choir
Its time to stop singing in the shower and employ your dulcet tones on a wider stage, especially now that Bali Community Choir has been formed. Founded in 2009 and led by former Sing Australia director, Brendan ODonnell, the Bali Community Choir is comprised of singers drawn from Balis local and expatriate sectors.
The choirin terms of sound, size and musical enthusiasmis impressive. A series of informal caroling dates at local hotels in Bali in the week before Christmas were well received and earned valuable visibility for the newly-formed choir which now draws an average of 30-40 people at each rehearsal. The choirs musical tastes are eclectic;
ranging effortlessly from the sacred to the profane and everything in between. A recent rehearsal saw ODonnell taking the choir through their paces singing I Dreamed a Dream (Les Miserables), The Streets of London, Java Jive (The Manhattan Transfer), Hava Nagila, Amazing Grace, Edelweiss, Riu Riu Chiu (15th century Spanish) and a selection of songs sung in barbershop harmony.
The choir has several goals. The first is to create a pressure-free environment for anyone wishing to sing to do so. The second is to bring together a broad spectrum of members of the expatriate and local Indonesian communities. And the last goal is to work towards public performances in order to share our music with neighbors and friends in Bali.

For charity purposes, the choir is on standby should any orphanages in Bali need some entertainment, especially since Christmas is drawing near. We can also work on a voluntary basis, that is we dont take money. However, we only do that for charity purposes such as entertaining the less fortunate. Giving back to the community is something to sing about for the choir, Ricky from the Bali Community Choir told The Mag.
Audition is not necessary and participation is free of charge, although a small weekly donation from members helps to cover hall rentals and music acquisition costs. In the end, the emphasis is on community with members enjoying the fellowship in equal measure with the music.
Members meet from 7 - 9 pm every Tuesday evening at the Gateway Community Center on Jalan Danau Batur No. 3 in Sanur (near the Bali International School, opposite the Canang Sari Restaurant).

the entertainment didnt stop there, for once Atene was all cleared from the plate we had Panzerotto Prosciutto, Calzone and Pepperoni Pizza promptly served.
The Panzerotto Prosciutto and Calzone were outstanding; and traditional is not the word to describe these two pizzas. Unlike the pizza that weve already known about, Panzerotto Prosciutto and Calzone
were chubby, folded and stuffednot round, flat and topped. It was like unwrapping your Christmas presents: You take the knife and fork, cut open the crust and find the yummy mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, cooked Italian ham and Italian tomato sauce stuffed inside. Now if you think weve had enough pizza already, youre wrong. We still have our pizza dessert. And this one was just as tastywe can tell because our Balinese friend who so far doesnt seem to make friends with western food was really digging it. What we had for dessert was Pizza Nutella. Yummy!
Of course, other dishes such as pastas and salads are also available. With that being said, Cafe Marzano is just the place for those craving real Italian food without the pretense of a high-end establishment. Its also a great place to bring the whole family and a cool place to hang out with friends. To avoid disappointments, its highly advised for you to make a reservation for dinner (though Marzano is also busy during lunch time). Delivery service is available for Seminyak, Kerobokan, Umalas and Kuta areas.

Bali Farewells Andy Irons
Bali Barrels
A ndy Irons tragic passing has left surfing communities around the world reeling. Whether he was a fellow competitor, a travel companion, the subject of photographer or videographers project, a friendly guy out and about the surfer whose inspiring moves were captured in the magazines or DVDs; whatever he represented to different people, he will be missed.
The Balinese surfing community held a late afternoon paddle-out in honor of Andys memory at Halfway on Friday 5th November. Rizal
Tanjung, Rob Machado, Mikala Jones and Jake the snake Patterson joined other professional surfers, friends and family to remember A.I.
Some wore flower leis as a tribute to Andys Hawaiian roots and many scattered flowers in the water as they said their personal goodbye. Tourists joined the crowd to say goodbye to a surfing icon and a few hundred people paddled out to form a circle off the coast as the sun was setting. Many moved on to the Balcony restaurant afterwards for a jam session featuring Rob Machado to celebrate the life of Andy Irons.

G-Land in Banyuwangi is Still An Adventure Today
Bali BarrelsWWW.INDOSURFLIFE.COM
W hile the Whole G-Land trip is organized down to the minutiae these days, theres still plenty of adventure to be had.
Whether its the characters you meet sailing or driving over, from rock legends to traders to teachers, or those fury looking creatures whove been voluntarily marooned in the jungle for weeks, the wildlife that youre surrounded by, sometimes beyond your comfort zone perhaps if youre wandering along the track looking for hotdogs at the next camp and wild boar speed past, or the awe of surfing a perfect wave and paddling into a deserted beach. G-Land is hard to beat.
The 4 camps there today are a far cry from what G-Land pioneers dealt with back in the day but the exceptional waves, inspiring people and the surf stories shared over meals and downtime are bound to be the same.
A recent trip over saw people buzzing over the perfect 4-6ft. waves.
Surf guides, visitors and staff alike were either in the water or watching the action in the water from the beach. Those not up to dealing with the perils of the main breaks took boats over to pristine Tiger Tracks and 20-20s which offers plenty of fun (even the odd barrel) without as much of the risk.
And then theres those little adventures that start out as glitches and turn into something memorable. Like monkeys ransacking your cabin in search of snacks and settling for toothpaste or jungle mobiles breaking down in muddy tracks. Or the little things that roll your way, like hanging with the friendly staff and crew at Joyos epic look-out point, a sing-a-long with camp security, finding that Willie, the photographer got that picture of your perfect barrel, or waking up to yoga sessions with Kim with people from other camps joining in the fun.
The adventure is there, go enjoy it. Im going back for more.

Bali Surfspots
Bali Tide Chart
MedewiMedewi is a fun wave for all surfers. It can be a bit fat, but has its day. Come early to avoid onshore winds. This spot handles bigger swells also.
BalianBalian is a swell magnet and a quiet spot in North Bali. This break is getting more crowded as more accommodation is built daily. Its playful lefts and rights are great for beginners and advanced surfers alike.
Canggu & PerenanCanggu always gets more swell than Kuta beach. It consists of a few different breaks; The right breaks better on a mid to high tide and is a great performance wave. The sandbank is better on a lower tide and is in front of the restaurants, it's fun to watch the surfers hit the lip whilst enjoying the delicious food.
Kuta ReefKuta Reef is an exposed reef break that is quite consistent. There are a few breaks here: Airports rights and left, Middles and Kuta reef. MayOctober (dry season) is the best time of the year for waves here.
Nusa DuaTo get to this reef you have to drive into the hotel area itself and weave your way south. There is no channel which caught inside on a big swell quite annoying. There are a couple of other good waves in this area so it pays to do a bit of exploring.
DreamlandDreamland was famous because it was a 'dreamy' spot. The wave is still there, a nice peak and a fun beach break.
BinginBingin is a consistent, mechanical barrel machine. It's a short wave with a very small take off spot so if hassling is not your thing, it will be quite hard to get waves here. ImpossiblesImpossibles gets fun on a big swell. It is located between Bingin and Padang Padang.If you are sick of dealing with the crowds at either of those two places you can paddle to Impossibles and get some long walls.
Padang PadangPadang Padang only starts to work when a big swell is running. It offers an amazing barrel but breaks in front of trocks, so experts only!
UluwatuThere are 4 different sections: Temples is a hollow wave which works on the mid to high tide. The Peak can offer a nice barrel and is right in line with the cave. Racetracks is the low tide section, it's superfast and gets seriously shallow. Outside Corner is an world class wave which won't even start breaking unless the swell is at least in the 8 foot range.
PadangbaiPadangbai has the flat bottomed mixed reef and sandy bottom with some wally waves. This break needs a bit of swell.
Green BallGreen Ball is a left and a right, situated at the bottom of a steep cliff. No worries going down but after you have been surfing for a couple of hours the return trip is quiet challenging.
BelanganBelangan is known for its longs peeling walls. It does get sectiony, so you have to race a bit. Belangan handles big swells and can offer good barrels on the right direction.
Sri LankaIn the northern part of Nusa Dua lays Sri Lanka, a bowly right which breaks into a deep water channel. This break is better on a bigger swell but is shifty.
Sanur ReefSanur Reef is a right and considered another world class wave. It's the local break of many expats and locals so gets very busy. The wave

KeramasKeramas has a nice barrel after take-off which turns into a wally lip. This break is very popular with visiting and local pro's and if you don't want to deal with them in the water it is nice to watch them surf from the warung right in front of the break.

Bali is a beautiful island to visit and like many other tourist destinations, being such a popular spot brings
many problems. One concerning problem that we at The Mag have come to notice is the ever growing
environmental problems that effect this paradise island. We at The Mag hope that all travelers will take (little) time
to read these points and take them to action, in order to lessen the damage. So please, keep Bali beautiful.
1. Please do not litterIts a habit that we should all try to keep, and that is just dont lit-ter. If no trashcan is in sight, just keep it in your bag or pocket until you come across one, and then dispose of it correctly.2. See some rubbish, pick it up!Add that little extra in keeping Bali clean by picking scraps of trash ignorant people have discarded carelessly and find the appropriate place to dispose of it.3. Reuse or refuse plastic bagsSometimes shops will still put your goods into plastic bags. Its fine to refuse the plastic bags, if you are carrying your own. You may get a strange look from the cashier, if so; just explain your good inten-tion to keep Bali beautiful.4. Walk more!To keep the air of Bali cleaner, its always better to walk. Other than being a healthy alternative, you may accidentally stumble onto a small store or unseen bars which you may have missed.5. Eco-travelingWhat better way to enjoy the beautiful scenery of nature in Bali than to take an eco-tourism tour. Many companies provide trips into the untouched wilderness of Bali, or the unspoiled coral reefs.
6. Lights out!Leaving your AC on is a huge waste of valuable electrical energy. Its better to turn off your AC and lights before heading out.7. Its better to go out for dinnerIt is sometimes tempting to take away food to enjoy in the com-fort of the place you are staying, but the packaging of the food adds up to the pile of trash that is thrown away.8. Support local industriesSending imported goods uses up much of the worlds fossil fuel resources, compared to using products already available in Bali. By supporting local industries we can also improve the economy for the community in Bali.9. Water preservationThe amount of clean water in Bali is slowly becoming scarcer due to overuse. Small things we can do to help over come the water crisis are by taking shorter showers and turning off the taps when brushing teeth.

CRASH COURSE BAHASA INDONESIA 1. No matter how much the vendors give as the opening price, you have to bargain
for as much as half (or even less) of the price.2. It is better for you to go to the shop that has everything: t-shirts, shorts, wood handicrafts, etc. By doing a one- stop-shopping, which means you will buy quite a lot, it is easier for you to get a bigger discount.3. Try not to be so apparent that you really want the thing you are looking at on the shop; the vendors are not stupid and can smell your desire, thus will take the advantage by putting the price high.
4. Since there are ranges of shops offering pretty much the same things, you can always walk away from one shop to another if a deal cannot be reached. But walk slowly. Normally, if you offer a reasonable price on a bargain, in which the vendor can still make some profits and the price is good for you, the vendor would call you back to his/ her shop as you walk away.5. Tell the vendor that if he/ she gives you a good price, then you will tell your other friends to shop from him/ her as well.6. Know the market prices, or, pretend that you do. By saying Ive seen this product before way cheaper will probably lead to lower price.7. Have fun and stay friendly. Bargaining is part of the culture here and it should be a fun activity.
BARGAINING IN BALI
BEFORE ENTERING A TEMPLE, PLEASE REMIND YOURSELF :
1. To respect the place and its people: it is sacred, so do not make noise or damages. Act normal.
2. That a woman who is having her period, is not allowed to enter the temple.3. To not walk in front of a praying person.4. That a priest is very important, so whenever he is praying, dont sit higher than him and dont bother him with your cameras flash. 5. That you should also not take flash pictures of other people praying.6. To wear a sarong and an ambet when you attend a ceremony (those are often provided to you when necessary).

Kuta/ Tuban/ Legian
KutaKuta is dedicated to those seeking fun and sun in affordable ways. The area consists of busy laneways lined with bars and restaurants, basic accommodations and various stalls selling multitudes of items. Although often considered the absolute ugliest area of the island due to its mix-bag tourism projects in combination with rampant commercialism, Kuta still manages to retain a slice of Balinese charm. The smell of incense wafts down the crowded gangs and offerings of brightly colored flower petals are laid out each morning to appease the gods.
LegianThe current Legian is packed with venues that turn this used-to-be sleepy hollow area into a spot that knows no rest with almost non-stop activities and crowds. More and more amusement centers like nightclubs, restaurants and shops are now making Legian a vibrant area that never sleeps.
TubanBeing a part of Kuta, Tuban doesnt really share the loud noises and crowds of Kutas main party scenes. Villas and fine restaurants in this area are not really seen from the main road as they mostly take place beachside.

Seminyak/ Petitenget/ Canggu
