B is for Bangkok and Bali

Day 1- I apparently don’t look like “Pn. Noor”

 

Greeted by the tour guide, had funny borderline insulting comments passed at me, and was whisked away for a seafood dinner at Jimbaran. Later had a magician on the street amaze and wow me- in a bad way. Nothing Mr. Nyoman didn’t help solve.

 

Day 2 – Where dirty lil Asians deserve to die (as portrayed by our loving Aussies)

Highlight of the day was the volcano in Kintamani, and coffee making process.

Then came the cleansing process at temples and education on why all the gates in Bali are split in two with a wallright smack in front of it. (It’s to keep demons out, cus demons can’t turn left or right so when they go through the gates they hit a wall and give up) -Yes, demons haven’t gone through evolution for the simple act of turning, they must not want to possess us all that much eyh?

Very much a Hindu land, the Balinese people have beliefs and fears that dictate their everyday life. Each morning and evening an offering is laid out for blessings, and street vendors give “good” prices for the first and last customers for the day. Which makes us hitting the markets at sunset a good thing. Bikin pelaris yaa..

 

Day 3 – Thank God I speak Malay!

 

Cus you get special Non White prices for everything you do. So begins the tale of me flying in air.(And getting the skin on my face roasted to perfection) Then getting attacked by flapping turtles and pulling a Britney.

 

Later had lunch on a hilltop that had temperamental rain- only when I step out. The Hindu God seemed to hate me~ or blessing me. Really depends on perspective. Beautiful scenery, beautiful gardens, beautiful temple.

 

Ended the day at Tanah Lot where there was (surprise!) another temple. When the tide is high I the area where I stand should be submerged, making the temple seem to be floating.

 

Day 4- I am reminded of Cape Point

 

Made the journey to the southern tip of Bali to see the Cliffside

temple

of

Uluwatu

framed by the

Indian ocean

.. This, by far, was the most beautiful place for me in

Bali

. Most famous for its sunset view, we escaped the hordes of tourists by seeing it in the morning. 

 

 

More pictures later :) Friendster blogging is ruining my post- Bali- hyper mood.
