Bali personal Thought

I know out there, they are zillions of people blogged about Bali and today I'mma gonna be one of them.

Finally, I went Bali! A trip that almost planned for a year.
Overall, I visited a lot of temples.
I swear I never visited such many temples for my whole life.
Actually 5 temples only lah, but since my parents never brought me to any temple. I consider this trip I really visited to so many temples just in 3 days.
Until I felt bored with all those temples. I didn't really concentrated on what the tour guide explained about the history of the temples on last day.

I believe good driving skill is far most important in Bali.
The roads to all the tourist spots are narrow and crooked.
Most of the locals are using motorcycles instead of cars, I bet they want to avoid traffic jam.
I feel lucky that I'm not Balinese because if I am I think I dare not to drive at there.
I'm phobia with all those motorcyclists surrounded my car.
And when comes to the junction, everyone is rushing to cross it, is definitely scary enough for me.
You can't drive slow at Bali. People gonna honk you and keeps taking over you.
So, I really impressed with my driver. I praised him before leaving for his fast and steady skill. He always managed to brake in time!
GPS is not useful in Bali. If you're driving there, you will probably lost.
I rarely saw road signs.

Balinese are open-minded till the way they can go naked at the riverside?!
Or just the random one?
I saw a lady bathing at the riverside without bra or any cloth on her and a man just peeing at the roadside. You might see his penis if you're driving on a motorcycle. Speechless.

Then, another strange thing I found in Bali was I didn't even see any stray cat.
Bali don't have cat?! Impossible.
But, I saw lots of stray dogs.

You can see a lot of paddy fields along the road. 

I always thought that paddy field should be only on a really big land and no other shops or houses in between them.
But, is different in Bali.

               There is actually traffic lights and junction at the corner of the paddy field.

The Indian influence has been great on Balinese culture includes the architecture.
Stone craving and statue is everywhere and in every houses.
They have family temples. Balinese have very strong belief in their religion.
The first morning I visited at Bali is the Full moon day. So, was lucky enough to see the praying ceremony.
The children can wear the beautiful sarong to school, they need not to wear uniform on the special day.
How I wish Malaysia is the same. I hate school uniform!

Oh ya, there is a Silence day called Nyepi in Bali during March, a public holiday in Indonesia, a day of silence, fasting and meditation for the Balinese.
There is no fix day because the holiday is according to the Balinese calender.
So, beware of it. Better don't visit Bali during March because there is also no electricity, no tour, no people working for the whole day.
Prolly no people on the road, too.

Last but not least, when you visit to the tourist spots besides seeing all those magnificent buildings, your eyes is like eating ice cream. A lot a lot of prettty ladiesss and also some handsome guys la but not much.

There is only two pictures in this post because most of the photo were taken by Baby B's camera.
There will be more details post of Bali after I get the photo from B.

Is 4th of December.
Time please goes slow for this merry month.
*fingers crossed*

Night nights.
