Thank you very much sir and madame for visiting our island, I hope we could meet again in the future so that I c could serve you better and take you to others interesting places here,to see real Bali at Bali nyata.
SEE YOU LATER..

GOING TO THE LEMPUYANG TEMPLE

Oneday two years ago we are one family visited our ancestor temple which is located on the top of the lempuyang temple in the northenpart of Bali island.

After climbing the mount lempuyang for one hour finally we got the top where the temple is located.

The weather actually cool, because we had perspired, so we did not feel it even it was little bit hot.

This temple not so popular for the tourist , because if you do not have adventure and religious spirit you will think ten times to visit this temple.

TRADITIONAL WARUNG

There is a phenomena now,where mostly the repeater tourists in my town Sanur try to enjoy their meal in the local restaurant called Warung. Probably one of the reason is they want to try local food that commonly enjoyed by the local people, or maybe they have limited budget so they could stay in BALI longer,however I think that good for the tourist to see Bali Nyata or real bali. Whatever their reason or your reason, one things that I would like to remind you is make sure you get a clean ,higyenic ,and good sanitation of Warung, so you will not have any trouble like BALIbelly while you want to enjoy Bali Nyata or real bali.

In our Warung Traditional there are two or three couples everyday who try the menu which we offered. and they are so enjoyed it. Besides the price is very very local, we alaways keep the cleanliness and the taste of the menu which we have.
Oh ya..I said the price very local because start from USD 1 or Rp 9000 according to our currency now you will get Tuna soup, nasi campur[mixed rice] and drink
It is very local isn't it. So you should try it while you are coming to Bali.

THE ANCESTOR THAT STILL IN THE OCEAN

In your view maybe this thing is not make sense. but this is the real life of the balinese people. When some people feel unhappy they might though there something some kind of duties that completely had not done yet. One those thing could be the spirits of the ancestors are belief still suffering in the ocean,, they supernaturally need a help from their grandson or son to pull them out from the ocean where they are being punished. so that why we have to hold this ceremony..and this is a part of the cremation ceremony. You can see here trough the photo my big family are going to the beach together. some of them also bring offerings , that will be offered to God of the ocean that known as ''SANGHYANG BARUNA''.

My friend's wedding

Hi..do you see, who are in photo?..well he is one of my good friend in the village , his name is Gede. We have been friend for a long time. a friend in need and in stead, As a good friend we normally spend our time to drink tuak or traditional drink with about 10 % alcohols especially during the traditional holiday or ritual ceremony in my village because we rarely meet each other. And last month he met his soul mate and do wedding ceremony soon,,he said ,"sooner ,better , as I am getting older and older...That One of the wedding prossesion when a man family ask to the woman family, means the man or the husband candidate is requested to ask permission from the woman ancestor to promise that he loves her very much and will look after her until the end of life. so that why you see the offerings in front of the priest as a clues that you are seriusly love your wife. This also one why where you can see the real balinese life......

The Balinese girl

Before 1940, The Balinese woman were still naked, This condition can be seen if one day you visit Bali do not forget to visit any museum in Ubud area. The collection of photos which are collected there clearly described about the real balinese life at that time, and this is also another good way to see the real bali.

Another side of the Paradise island

Not only famous for the cultures , daily life of their peoples, If you feel boring in the touristic area such as kuta, sanur or ubud, you should take your breath and think another option, to explore middle part of bali for example.
Your eyes will witness incredible rice terraces scenery for about 60 km, in your right and left hand side,,,of course you can stop anytime you want and feel how beautifull the God creation, and we will feel too small in the front of amazing view Tabanan Regency.

The goddess of Saraswati is described by beautifull angle with four hand, each hand hold different thing. and standing up on Lotus flower so that why Lotus is considered as An holy flower because could live and grow in three different world. The root in the land, leaves in water and their flower in the air.

Visiting the Ancestor's temple

...whoever will agree that Bali is one of the world uniqee and beautifull heritage island. every area have their own custom, tradition and sometimes different from one to another. but the people are still respecting each other. no one claim their tradition or custom is better than the other, or no body said their way of life must be followed, or their life style is the best one... No...no...no .There is no space for individual here, no place for selfish one ..all run together ,following the rythm of the nature.. this is the real bali or bali yang nyata. Our island is the the offering island to the God as the spirit of the universe, so no body will be affraid to ignore their duty and responsibity to their enviroment and nature that always as supporters to their life...this must we do as our thankgives to our creator..This what the real bali is? this is balinyata.............

In Indonesia only few people play golf compare with the population that over 220.000.000 this year.
