Bali - Tranquility

Lush, peaceful, provocative - Bali
From the moment of arrival, this is clearly different from other places you have been.  Calm, smiling beautiful faces.  Lush green jungle rushes from volcano strewn mountains to the rice paddies and then the sea.  Nearly all of the 3MM islanders are Balinese Hindu with their altars and small offerings at every turn.  Community focus is devoted to religious matters. Members give half of their income to community elders who orchestrate the care of temples, the building of statues, preparation for worship and costume for participants.  Temples dominate with Buddhist, Moslem and Christian places of worship openly respected.  Stone statues adorned in black and white checked fabrics remind that good balances evil.  These along with fabric design, music, dancing and the sea are the things you will always compare and never forget about this place.
