It was a drive from Ubud on Eka homestay at Sriwedari road, Evelyn and Khem were my clients. We were about to encounter the road with the worst traffic in Bali, with lots of 10 wheelers passing by, reckless drivers, one or two who would end up in the ravine or river by the streets with the all the wheels facing up. I drove them to Balian beach, the so called surf beach, where there are many farms

So, you want to know the cheapest way from Sanur to Nusa Dua? And you want a good quality transport too? Well, although the saying "cheap but good" will arouse enough scepticism for some of you, but hold on. I will tell you this, instead of paying taxi fare of Rp 100,000 or around USD 12, you can pay only Rp 3500 or just USD 4. Are you interested? Introducing The Trans Sarbagita The Trans

It's very easy to lose your way in markets in Bali. Kuta market is no exception. Just like pioneering your way to tropical forest, the market in Kuta has lots of little shops that sell "everything". For a starter, you can bargain for t-shirt and pants. The most popular are the ones with word "Bintang" (Indonesian beer), and "I Love Bali" printed on them. Others have funny words, or mildly

So, I put funny story on the title to tease you to read this post. Ok, it is really funny. Well, some of you may think is quite scary. But anyhow, read on. Winnie (changed the name a little bit) has exchanged emails with me a couple of times and really looked forward to go to Bali. The first tour would be half day tour to Uluwatu temple to watch Kecak Dance and go to Jimbaran bay. On the day of

Am I a Bali Batik tour guide? Not really. But since a client asked me to help him finding everything about Batik in Bali, then I learnt about fabric, prices of fabric, Batik processing and what kind of Batik are available there. So, I worked with the local Batik makers, the embroidery people, and shipping company to send the Batik sarongs (which then they will be called “Pareo") to Mexico.

When we arrived at his house, there were some people outside Ketut Liyer house waiting  for their return. Ketut Liyer is a traditional healer and a palm reader.  He has become popular after the book and the movie Eat Pray Love. This is also the reason why I visited him that day. My client wanted me to take her to meet, Ketut Liyer, the palm reader. After waiting for about two hours, then my

Here are some photos from trekking around Tamblingan post. We started tracking down into the tropical forests. Descending from Banyuatis village, we walked down on the slippery stairs leading to the forests near Lake Tamblingan. Some beautiful trees that we encountered along the way. There are many more huge trees,and some of them fell down because of strong wind. we stop for a rest and

It was a cloudy day in Bali. Rain poured down lightly from the sky. I went with Mr Lim and his family (his wife and his two children, a 17-year-old daughter and 15-year-old son) to go trekking in the tropical forest of around Lake Tamblingan. We arrived at Munduk village at around 11 AM. Munduk village is located in a higher land from where we can look down in the distance, the two lakes. Lake

Your travel to Bali is unique. It can not be replicate by anyone. After watching Eat Pray Love, many ladies travel to Ubud to find their future husband. Many men staying in Ubud begins speaking English with foreign accent. Hoping this ladies would find them interesting to talk to. Yes, maybe you met your future foreign accented husband in Ubud, but you know it does not always happen that way. Liz

Here is the Saranam hotel and restaurant. I particularly like the scenery and the location of the restaurant. Looking down from the hotel restaurant, you can see down below at the hotel rooms, rice fields, a fountain, green park with well groomed weed, and a small pool.At the background, you can see some rice terraces with coconut trees growing in the rice fields path and forest nearby.

Ms. Tanya Lai said," I would like to get green coffee bean. Must be green, not roasted." Here it came again. Another authentic Bali coffee tour, a bit different from the last tour that I did with Karl. But besides those places now in Seribatu, and Perean village in Bali, I did not know any people who can supply good quality coffee beans. So, here was the adventure again. Roasted coffee

I really like the way the local present portion of Ramayana epic in Kecak dance. They usually add few funny characters to enliven the drama. Like this Ramayana dance.You will meet some "bad guys" in this story who try to make you laugh along the show. They greet you in many different languages including English and Japanese.

Some people ask me where I took the photo of the banner of this blog. As you can see there, it's a photo of rice teraces. I took this photo several months ago in Jatiluwih on harvesting time. There smokes flying on the air since after harvest, the Balinese farmers burn the remain of the rice plants. Ok, that's a quick post.

Jamie is a painter who were very amazed of Bali, of the rice field and of the banana trees. Why banana trees? I asked. Because it made him relax, he said.Huh?But a part from that, he and his friend Jim, were amazed by the Balinese ladies. Why? Because Balinese ladies have strong neck. They carry anything on their head. "Is this right, Putu?" He asked. "According to a book I read, it says that

I don't know that a food without garlic nor onion can be edible (haha). At least in Bali, since here you usually have the basa genep (the complete spices) in almost all kinds of food prepared in Bali kitchen. Usually a cooking would have everything. Tumeric, onion, garlic, salt, chilli, pepper, galengal, and ginger are present in the cooking.When Ser Chim ( a client from Singapore) arrived in

Even if you never surf in your life, even if surf The Net is all you do, there is no reason not to try learning surfing. Just head to Kuta beach. That's the best place to start. Enroll to the surfing school is better than spending whole day trying to figure out how to stand on the surf board yourself. Their professional instructor will teach you how to lie on your surf board and then quickly

Come to Bali at Galungan day and you will notice something different. All the Balinese house have bamboo poles decorated with flowers, leaves, and fruits. The Balinese families walk on the village streets, ride their motor bikes, to go to Balinese Hindu temple. Children giggle as they are allowed to wear their best clothes. Galungan day (every 210 days) is the day the Balinese celebrate the

You can put anything on your motorbike in Bali as long as it fits (this is true as the time this post is written : September 19th 2009). Like this photo. There was a bunch of baloons for sale carried on a motor bike. There were so many baloons so it occupy half of the road. Just like the size of a car.If you driveor ride a motor bike in Bali, you need to be ready for the unexpected traffic such

Swastika sign can be seen in Bali, especially in Balinese Hindu temple. I must say almost all the Hindu Balinese are familiar to this symbol. Besides temple, one can also see it in houses, or community building. Even the 'Swastika' word is used as a person name, for example, Ketut Swastika. But why and what does Swastika mean?It simply means balance in relationship. The Balinese Hindu see the

Many people who have visited Bali think that September is the best month to go for holiday here in regard to weather. It's true that there time for hotter and cooler temperature, lower and higher humidity. However, it seems that September is a period that the temperature is not so hot and not so humid either.September is the last month of the dry season and in October the rainy season will start.

When planning a vacation in Bali, you will need to plan also your accommodation. Sometimes it is not easy, and takes a long time before you can decide where to stay in Bali. There are a lot of choices, but here is a few tips.First, you will need to decide the area you wish to stay. There are many one popular tourists area, but there three major areas, such as Kuta, Nusa Dua and Sanur.Kuta is the

Being a tour guide, you will meet a lot of people from different background, from salesman, manager, plumber, movie director, web designer, photographer or many other profession. A client of mine, a photographer, from England, convinced me to learn a bit of photography just for the sake of taking better photo.

Most intersting place for them was Uluwatu temple and Waterfal in Munduk.They seemed to like the local food as well. So, they like to try the suckling pig or the Babi Guling in Ubud and Denpasar. They also like the Lombok food called Taliwang chicken which they had in Bedugul.

It is also worn by Kecak dancers as their saput (sarong) and wrapped around statue of Dwarapala in front of temple gates. Besides, some umbrellas, and other stuff are also wrapped in black and white cloth. Is black and white cloth becoming a trend in Bali?The

If Kuta and Tanah Lot are so popular with its sunset, Sanur, on the other hand, is known for a great place to see sun rise. To be able to see the sun rise, you will need to go the Sanur Beach. If you stay in a hotel in Sanur which located facing the beach, then it is no problem for you to see the sun rise. All you need to do is waking up a bit earlier, at least at 5.30, and walk out your hotel

Sooner or later you will spot this; a cigaratte on an offering while staying in Bali. When you ask the local why they put cigarette on the offering, you wil probably don't get straight forward explanation. Instead, you will get a blank stare as the local say," it is for good luck", "it's our tradition" or "it's been done that way since our great grand parents lived".Ok, now

On your tour to the north Bali, you will usually stop at this stunning waterfall. Some tour operator prefer to go there before arriving at Lovina, but some others stop after Lovina. I personally like to visit this waterfall after Lovina, on the way back from north Bali.From the picture, you can see it is multi tiered waterfall. And it is such a beautiful view. You just need to be fit to go there.
