Cultural Scene
The diverse traditional cultures that are still practised in Bali make its beauty to go even way deeper than its natural appearance. Ceremonies such as monster parade and omed-omedan are celebrated throughout the year. Bali’s culture extends to dance, music and architecture.
Locals
The Balinese are a friendly bunch of people. You can learn some of the local dialect such as ‘selemat pagi’ which is translated to say good morning. Being able to interact with the locals in a simple way will completely enhance your Bali experience.
Natural Beauty
Talk of a scenic place. Bali not only prides itself for its magical temples and beautiful beaches but it also has almost every type of natural beauty. What of secret canyons, iconic rice fields, spectacular mountainous areas, flower gardens, beautiful lakes, rushing sacred rivers and majestic waterfalls.
Shopping Spree
Whether from a traditional market or a stylish boutique, Bali offers an unforgettable shopping spree. You can buy traditional home-made souvenirs. High-end designer clothes are also available. I would advise you to carry along an empty suitcase or better still, be ready and willing to purchase one.
Religious Scenes
In the midst of their cultural insights and aesthetic pleasure, Balinese are a very religious people. Mostly Hindus. Their culture and religion should be highly respected. Ladies are advised to invest in a sarong especially when going to a temple. The traditional ‘kecak’ dance is actually an impressive thing to watch with more than 45 men performing in a chorus like rhythm.
Conclusion
For a memorable holiday or getaway experience, Bali should be your ultimate choice. With its awesome views, fine tunes, great drinks and good food, Bali should definitely be at the top of your ‘to-be-visited’ list whenever an opportunity for a holiday/getaway comes knocking.
