Bali Tour Guide

If you go to tourists place such as Tanah Lot you will notice that there are many little cafes adn restaurant which offer coconut milk or water or milk?? Far from it , it is not the milk, it is just the water of coconut. Fresh coconut, usually the green coconut, are available almost in every corner at Tanah Lot Temple. why green? I think it is the taste is better than the yellow or orange coconut or red coconut, but it is also bigger in size. The coconuts are placed out side the cafe or restaurant where you can see. It is still fresh. Go order one coconut, and the seller will take a machete and make a hole in the coconut shell. Once yhey finish, they put a straw in the holes. There you can suck the coconut water from Here is another variation. Put some ice and so it taste better and cooler. Some people, especially the Balinese, put sugar on it. (Wonder why? well, to taste sweeter). But people can have something else on it, they can put some arak (palm wine) and it become very alcoholic

Pura Goa Lawah or the Bat cave temple is located in the easte Bali. To travel there you will need to sped two hours from Kuta. This cave usually visited in a package tour to East Bali. But anyway, close your eyes, and imagine that you are in Bali, and lets; go to the Bat Cave temple. Bats, bats, bats, every where. That's probably what you say in your mind. A lot of them are Ange hanging in the wall of the cave. Some of them flying with while screaming in the air. That's right, this is the place which we call the Bat cave temple. But before going to the temple, let see some check the surrounding. First you will need to park your vehicle across the street from the temple in a parking area close to the black sandy beaches of Kusamba. You can smell the sea and feel the cool breeze on your face here. There are many little shops around the beach, and if you are lucky you can still see people making salt in the sea shore. As you walk to cross the street into the temple area , there wi

I went to Ubud one evening with two clients form California (US). The plan was we are going to watch a cultural performance at The Puri Saren or Ubud Palace. Ubud Palace was just situated in the center of Ubud, just opposite of Ubud art market. In one corner, there is this Ibu OKa suckling pig stall, and next to the stall is the village hall where the locals hold meeting. This time the Legong dance was performed in the village hall instead of the Puri Saren. On the normal day., the show of Legong. or Ramayana, depending on the day you are here, is held in the outer yard of the palace. The palace in Bali is a compound with lots of open building (pavilion). Palace in Bali i is much totally different. It looks like a Bali temple. Have you seen a Bali temple? It is divided into three yards. The outer, middle, and main yard.The main courtyard is where the prayer is taking place. The same thing goes with the palace. And it's in the outer yard where the dance show is performed. As we got

Rare may it seem, but you can get the luwak coffee here in Bali. Okay, now what is luwak coffee? Luwak is a kind of nocturnal animal which resembles a cat and consumes fruits like papaya, or banana. But wait, it also eats coffee beans. This coffee beans travel to the animal eschopagus, and passing through intestines, bowels, and finally comes out as droppings. Here is the strange thing. The coffee beans is still in perfect condition (intact) when it comes out as dropping. The coffee farmer eagerly wake up at down to hunt for this droppings in the forest or gardens. Feeling ecstatic, they will dry the droppings, and extract the coffee beans. They know this is the most wonderful coffee in the world, and most expensive too. What? No, you are kidding. That's the respond I got from Charlene ( an Australian tourists). So, I took her and two other tourists Mike (from California) and Joan (from England) to Seribatu village where they can see the animal called the civet. When we arrived the

I met Mr Garcia, from Mexico, who told me about his experience just when he got out of the plane when arriving in Bali. He and his wife was looking for his luggage but coould not see them at the airport. They look for their luggage around the airport for about half an hour but still could not find them. Finally, they see this group of people (porters) standing in circle. They were there all the time, but Mr. Garcia did not pay attention to them, until they saw that their bags were behind those porters. "Look, there is our bags." Mrs. Garcia said as they realised that their bags were hidden behind those porters. That's why they could not find their bags all this time. When they try to take their luggage, those porters said, "No, no, no" "We carry your bags." "No, it's okay, we can carry them ourselves." Mr. Garcia said. "No, no, no, we carry." The porters insisted to bring their bags outside into the parking area.. And when they

If you go tour to Ubud or Kintamani, you will pass a village called Batu Bulan which located just outside of Denpasar. There is something special you can see along the way in this village; stone carvings. Hundreds of stone statues are displayed in front of studios along the street. These statues are made of different kind of material such as sand stone, lime stone, and volcanic stone. Sand stone is the softest and easiest to carve. It is what mostly also used for building Balinese Hindu Temple. The yellow coloured lime stone is harder than lime stone. While volcanic stone is the hardest. You will see different statues, from traditional theme to modern ones. But most of the time you will see statues of Hindu gods and godesses, temple door guardians (dwarapal), or Buddha statues. There are also statues of frog, and also people. The Balinese use the statues in the temples and for decorations in their gardens. You can also purchase the statues there for about USD 300 to 500 for a one meter
