Journey to the Last Paradise
Bali is known as The Island of the Gods. Although small, Bali is surrounded by beautiful beaches, mountains, hills, lakes, valleys, rivers, terraces of rice fields, and many more. The sun always shines all year round and there is two seasons, the rain season and the dry season.
Not far from Pesaban, Karangasem Regency, you can see Mt. Agung, the highest peak in Bali, to the north. The weather in Mt. Agung is cool and calm. Journey to the Last Paradise
You can also see the southern seas and the famous Nusa Penida Island. Bali is also known as the Island of A Thousand Temples. Every house has a temple, so does every village has their own temple. Government and business offices also has a small temple.Since the reign of ancient Indonesian empires, Bali has already been full of festive religious and traditional ceremonies, with the traditional Balinese Gamelan that variates from religious music to entertaining music. Since the time they are born, the Balinese people’s lives are full of these kinds of ceremonies. From the birth, birthdays, important events in life, marriage, and the cremation ceremony for the dead, known as Ngaben. Every ceremony is full of tributes to God, full of flowers and other decorations, and also a wide range of Gamelan music.
The Balinese people are friendly and bound to their traditions, but their minds are also open to new ideas from outside Bali. Foreign visitors like artists from the Western world are well-received, which influenced original Balinese paintings, dances, and other parts of Balinese traditional arts and culture, but people won’t know whether the art is influenced by outsiders’ traditions. They are all packed up in the original traditions of the Balinese. When you go to Bali for a holiday, you can slowly tell the difference of the influenced Balinese arts from the original traditional arts of Bali.The friendly nature of the Balinese people makes the outsiders who come to live there feel comfortable and peaceful. Local and foreign tourist will also feel encouraged to stay for more than a week. The harmonic tolerance in Bali makes people blend in to the Bali environment more easily.
