Majestic Mountain

Onglancing at a map of Bali it is impossible to miss the enormous blue lake in thenortheastern section of the island Although not as geographically or spiritually prominent as the mighty Mt. Agung, the giant lake inside the caldera of Batur is the most often visited inland feature of Bali, aside from the art-center of Ubud.

This is a true story. Happened on July 12 1999. A thief was caught in act stealing soap and polish by a supermarket attendant in Bintang supermarket, Seminyak, Kuta.

MEANING of NYEPI

'Nyepi' day in Bali is already around the corner. This year it felt on the 18th of March.
No going out, No noise and light or fire are allowed. That's in contrast with one day before 'Nyepi' which is called 'Ngerupuk'. During Ngerupuk, Balinese uses fires and a lot of noise to chase away gosts! Why 'Nyepi' the next day??

TOOTH FILING

Every Balinese Hindu must have a ritual ceremony called mepandes or metatah in their youth period. The procedure of this ceremony is dulling someone’s canine teeth before marriage, but for girls, after the first menstruation. Why is metatah is so important for Balinese people?
