Bali - first day

Bali is still heavily wrapped in her indigenous and pristine culture and tradition. Her artists work mainly with silk, wood and volcanic rocks. The soul of her inhabitants can be traced on the intricate wood carvings, floral batik printings and mythological sculptures.

My better half and a friend posing with an attractive " Are you sleeping?" sculpture at an art gallery.

A female Balinese working intently on a piece of silk while being ogled by a crowd of photograph hungry tourists. Y s would not be able to concentrate in this situation.
In Bali, drink "Bintang." It is cool and refreshing, and only 2% alcohol, just enough to knock off an ant of a drinker like y s.

More show cases of how the artists work to convince visitors that they are buying authentic Balinese printed arts.

Of course, a visit to Bali is incomplete without her dances and the "Barong and Kris " Dance.
Its delicate and graceful choreography reflects the friendliness and gentleness of her populace.
