What to do in Lovina Beach Bali?

-
So, you think you have visited all the places in Bali? Okay, let uslook at the map of Bali map again, and your adventure will continue at Lovina beach. But what is it like there and what will you do there.?
Lovina is  a beach located in north Bali. It has far less visitors than that of Kuta beach but it has its own uniqe beauty. The main access of Lovina beach is called Bina ria where you will see a statue of dolphins. The statue indicates that this black sandy beach has its own attraction, dolphin watching.
If you want to see dolphins, you must come early in the morning to the beach. You will start going with local fisherman at six o'clock. Then you will engage on a voyage around the beach looking at the dolphins hoping on the sea. The dolphins are quite fast that it is not easy to take photo of them. And the fact that it is early in the morning make the lighting not so suitable for photography. You will end up getting blurry photos. As the sun comes out, the light will aid your photos to be better.
Beside dolphin watching, in some area of Lovina, you can go on scuba diving.  The scuba diving is suitable for beginner and advanced diver as well. But if you don't fancy diving, you can just lie down and swim in the beach.
The town and villages around Lovina are also worth visiting. It is still less touristy compared to the south that you can see how the local truly lives.  
That's all you can do in Lovina. Dolphin watching if you can wake early morning is not a bad idea to start the day. If you want to go diving, you can do so there. But if you just feel like to do nothing, just take it easy and enjoy the day.

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. Next, the harmonious relationship among the human race. The Balinese values good relationship between themselves. Many activities in villages in Bali involve community of villagers . When one family in a certain village hold a ceremony such as cr...

Is Cow a Sacred Animal in Bali?

-
The answer you get of this question may vary if you ask different people. The priest may say, yes it is. But many Balinese, although they are Hindu, consume beef. And people in Bali breed cows for meat. You will not see cow wander in the streets, because they are just cattle. Some people don't eat beef because they think they should not eat beef because they think it is a sacred animal. They say they will have a headache if they do so. Well, may be because of the cholesterol or some thing like that. And another thing, we don't consume cow milk or any other milk in the past. We just recently do this, because it is been advertised a lot in the media, that milk is healthy for our body. But many of the older generations, many of our parents or grand parents don't fancy milk. They don't drink milk, they'd rather drink coffee than drinking milk. I can understand that, because milk taste awful sometimes. Oh, did I mention that our cow doesn't produce any milk? Their mi...

"Sorry, I can't go to the temple this full moon. I have my period," that's what Made, a friend of mine, once said to me when we talked about going to a temple. In Bali, women talk openly about their menstruation especially when it is related to temple activities. There is nothing embarrassing about that. But instead of saying in period, they merely say that they have their "monthly guest" coming. When you visit a temple in Bali, you must not be in your period when entering temple complex. Why is that? People, especially the lady tourists, ask with inquisitive and accusing look at me that we don't treat our Balinese women fairly. Okay, let me tell you, that is not the case. There some reasons why people are not allowed to enter the temple, this is called cuntaka (pronounced chun ta ka). If there is a mourning because of there is a death in one family, they can not go to the temple. Because it will cause the temple "leteh" or dirty. The woman wh...
