Visiting Bali from April to October

-

You can say that there are more visitors coming to Bali from April to October since this is the dry season. You probably think twice before coming to Bali in the wet season (October to April), at least you will think whether you are going to have bright days if you come on the wet season. If you would like to make sure that you will see no rain (at least 99.99% chance to see bright days) than you can choose to come to come during this time of the year.


There are few other things to consider. For example, the celebrations and local holidays.


The Silent day can take place on between March and April. Everything will be closed on that day that you will have to stay lock up in your hotel. June, July, and August is the busiest time in Bali because it is school holidays. The popular tourist areas are mostly flooded by tourists from our neighbouring island, Java. But there are also many visitors from Australia, Europe and Asia who come and bring their kids to enjoy the warmth of the sun in Bali.



There is another celebration in August: the independence day. You will see procession, carnival, and most popular is the kite festival held in Sanur. During this month you will see the Bali sky is covered with hundred of kites.


In the month of September and October the number of tourists has come back to normal because the holiday is over. We still have many visitor but not as much as the previous months. September is believed to be the best month since it has the lowest humidity but I am not quite sure about that since every day is hot and humid here.


Those are the things you can put into consideration when visiting Bali between April and October. In my opionion, it is best to visit Bali when it is not so many tourists around that you can enjoy more, especially if you like staying in Kuta. Other places like Nusa Dua and Ubud maybe not as crowded as Kuta. So, you can go those places instead.


Have a good holiday in Bali.

Swastika symbol in Bali?

-
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 life is ideal when they live a balanced life indicated by three good relationship. The first is good relationship between human and the Almighty God. All the festivals, offering in temples, praying activity that you witness in Bali are examples that the Balinese really long for a great relationship with Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa, The Almighty God.

Going on a tour to North Bali can be exciting if you enjoy watching the lush area of Bali with the view of hills and lakes. There are many places to visit to enjoy the scenery and breath fresh air along the road. Your first stop is at Pacung village where you can see beautiful scenery of rice field and vegetables plantation. The farmers of this village plant many kind of vegetables like cabbages, potatoes, carrots, and radish. Along the way you will also find various kind of flowers grown in the farmers field like marigold, or roses. There is also special flowers they grow for making religious offerings. They sell their crops in markets in Denpasar and in Bedugul which is your next stop. Bedugul is a local market where you can find spices, flowers, and vegetables. Well, I don't think you will be doing any cooking on your vacation in Bali, so there is no need to haggle for vegetables. But, it is a very colourful pasar (pasar is the word for market in Indonesian or Balinese). As

For centuries, the number three is very important in Bali'nese Hindu in Bali island. For example, the number 3 can be clearly seen in the brand new logo of Bali introduced in June 2007. First, the shape is a triangle. The triangle actually means stability and harmony. Besides, it also represent the three manifestation of God, Brahma (the creator), Wisnu (the preserver) and Siva (the sin destroyer). The Balinese belief in the existence of 3 worlds, called Bhur, Bwah, and Swah which is also indicated by the triangel. There is three stages of life, birth, life and death.
