Naughty Monkey at Uluwatu - Part 1


Do you think this guy needs glasses? I don't think so. He's one of so many naughty monkey at Uluwatu, Bali. They quietly like to follow visitors of Uluwatu and quickly grab small things they can grab from the visitors. The most annoying is they understand how important the things to you. Once they grab it they will run away until you come with the monkey tamer to trade in your things. Don't expect you can trade in value things or important thing with just peanuts, they wont trade in. For above glasses the monkey asking for eggs. What a monkey....

Slingshot at Kuta - Bali


Some people may think that Bali is merely a cultural island with beautiful landscape. But let me clarify that it's not. Bali is also an island for adventures and games. There quite many adventures can be enjoyed in Bali, such as diving, snorkeling, para sailing, and many others. The picture I show here is slingshot that you could enjoy at Kuta, Bali.

Bali and Water


Water is an important aspect for Balinese Hindu people. About two weeks ago they're celebrating Melasti Festival, a festival that ended on water (could be sea, river or even lake). There's a place in Bali, at Tampaksiring area called as Tirta Empul. Tirta means water. People came to this place to purify themself on the spring (like in this picture). It's believed that the water in Tirta Empul will purify Hindu people from evil. The legend said that Tirta Empul was created by God Indra, one of the God in Hinduism.

Besakih, the Largest Shrine


The largest shrine in Bali is Besakih, as in above picture. It is located in the previous Karangasem Kingdom, the first Kingdom in Bali. This shrine was the place where the royalty family praised God. The size and the interior of this shrine is so beautiful. Unluckily the guides and traders there are really annoying.
