FEW THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT BALI, INDONESIA
Couldn't believe how time flies so fast and yet another yearly vacation has come.
Om Swastiastu Bali!!
Prior to arrival at Bali's airport, if you're not prefer to arrange a private transfer to your hotel from Denpasar International Bali Airport. Here's the airport counter official taxi rates, they are giving fixed price per destination starting from 45,000 rupiah (nearest place next to airport).
Beware of some taxi drivers at the airport trying to carry your luggage and insisting to take you to your hotel and offer the overpriced service.
The island and province of Indonesia, Bali has been one of the favorite tourist destination in south east asian. Unlike any other south east asian country, tourist attraction is already established in the minds of the people whenever they heard Bali.
When we reached in guesthouse, Balinese nationals greeted us in a very polite manner with a big smile. Physically we Filipinos are much more alike with them, and most of Balinese people cannot distinguish Jimson and I that we're from Philippines. Balinese people intensely family oriented and their spiritual beliefs shape their lives. Every aspects of Balinese life is steeped in religious belief, it has 90% religion majority of Hinduism followed by Muslims, Christians and Buddhism.
A surprising first day in the morning as I am not aware of, Balinese Hindu people have their usual offering ritual. Basically its a way of giving thanks back to God for every blessing that they received. Indeed it is a very natural perspective to maintain a good relationship between people and spirits.
Generally they made offering twice a day Morning and late afternoon, everywhere you go in Bali you'll find these small offering baskets of flowers, incense sticks around the streets, and being placed in front of shops, restaurants, houses and temples.
We stayed in Kuta since this area is a beach and resort center. Kuta is primary resort town and its particularly popular with Australians.
If your planning to go shopping visit the Kuta Market, vendors are placed in every corner and they are selling almost the same product at different prices.
TIPs: Don't buy at the first shop you visit as product price vary from different vendors. Try to check various seller around the area and bargain the price.
Kuta Place also have the kind of party eccentric atmosphere. Pubs, dicso bars where on the same lively streets try to visit District Club, Hard Rock Cafe, Sky Garden, Green Box and the Bounty Ship.
