Bali Ha'i

Listening to Bali Ha'i, thinking about the sky meeting the sea in Bali. Spending 6 days in this special island, bringing back the perspective about this place, the people and the culture derived from the experience. Kuta Beach, considered the hottest spot, with happening streets of pubs and bistros and sea that becomes surfers' heaven. Hotels, cafes and restaurants are almost everywhere. By just walking in your flip-flops, you can explore the places around. Anytime you're tired, you can just wave for a horse cart, get on it, and there you go, exploring the place in constant speed without being sun-kissed. With 93% hindus, temples are what you will see everywhere you go. The temples look mysterious and ancient in which ever way. The architecture of the temples seems to be well-reserved, with unspeakable mystery.

"Babi Guling", which means roasted pork, is one of it's famous cuisine, that must not be missed. The way that your dish will be served is, "Babi Guling" along with other dishes, well-arranged in a small basket. And there will be rice too. Good restaurants, especially western cuisine restaurants are everywhere, which might be a little extravagant for 6 days. Mc D which is nearby the beach, in and out you may see pretty ladies in bikinis or hot guys with bare tops and only beach pants, and bare-footed too.

Balinese are friendly and soft. If you looked like you're lost, there will be balinese come to your aid, showing you the way to your destination, without having any intentions which you might have encountered as travellers at some unfamiliar places. Warm smiles at many of the places you visit. In Bali, you will enjoy the hospitalities.

Different kinds of souvenirs are sold at the tourists spots. By the beach, there's women and men sitting under the shady trees, or even walking around, selling sarungs, shirts, providing manicures or tattoo. Had a stroll by the beach and there's an old grandma, asking me whether I would like to have a massage. She just put her hands on my shoulder, and was giving a small pressure while persuading me. I said no, thanks, and she asked me to look for her, if I changed my mind. Wondering how much they earn each day. Will there be any days, which they don't have any customers? Felt bad that I have to turn down their offers.

Really appreciate the tour guide's accompany, little thoughts sharing and his appreciation to tourist who visit Bali which helps Bali's economy. Bali, the beautiful island, deserves the recognition as the world's top, as well as the peacefulness which the people have regained.
