Visiting Gitgit Waterfall with Jerlyn

-

Gitgit waterfall is located in north Bali. Gitgit is the name of the village, since the waterfall is located in this village, that's why it is called Gitgit waterfall. I guess.
There are more than one waterfall in Gitgit. Maybe there are three. I chose the oldest one, because the path to the waterfall is quite well maintained. For those who loves adventures, you may chose the other waterfalls.
The path to the waterfal is about 350 meters long. And before you say it is not that far, remember the path is not flat, but it is up and down with stairs here and there. So, for those who don't visit gym regularly, it is quite a struggle.



 
This is Jerlyn, from Singapore. She said that Niagara waterfall is much bigger than Gitgit waterfal. Well, I am speechless. Never been to Niagara waterfall.

 

The photo of sign board that says Welcome to Gitgit Waterfall. If you don't see any waterfall in this photo, it's because it's not there.  You need to start walking from this point.

Next, you will arrive at the ticket place. The cost is IDR 5000, or USD 0.50. And you will see this small bridge. The water flows underneath the bridge comes from waterfall.


Jerlyn spotted cats on the way to the waterfall. She thought the cats were cute. I said stay away from the them!!



As usual, many shops along the path to the waterfall for those who find shopping therapeutic. But nobody seems to buy anything. Yes, tourism business is hard in Bali.
Yes, that's it. We arrived at the waterfall. The moisture is flying in the air that if you stand close to the waterfall, you will get wet.

Ok, the earlier photo that was a bad photo. I need to center my phone so the waterfall is in the middle of the screen.
If you are here, you will be able to hear the roaring noise of the water as it flows into the river as well as the moisture as it cares your face.

Here is the video of the waterfall if you would like to hear some sounds for the water flowing.


You should go to Gitgit waterfall too.Don't you think?


Location: Denpasar, Denpasar City, Bali, Republic of Indonesia

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.

When one family in a certain village hold a ceremony such as cr

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.

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.
