nietieBali is beautiful. A pity it's so far away (a 17 hour flight). The people are friendly, the food is delicious.
We (my sister, brother-in-law and I) were there during the wet season, so we had our share of rain, but it didn't spoil our fun (our the fact that we all got a sun burn LOL).
The first day we saw a Balinese funeral ceremony. We were allowed to take pictures:
A Barong dancer:
Temples
Sawas (rice fields) and villages:
Hindu offerings. People put these everywhere, especially on the pavements and streets:
An Ogoh Ogoh statue, part of the Nyepi ceremony, the day of complete silence and start of the Balinese new year:

Date: 2012-03-28 03:59 pm (UTC)I am so glad you got to take this trip with your family and share such wonderful experiences together. We may have to work out a way for you to visit me and then go to Australia together. We can visit kristen_mara and a couple of Twitter friends I have...and see New Zealand, which I've always wanted to see!

Date: 2012-04-01 07:56 am (UTC)Balinese food can be very spicy. They have sate (pieces of meat on a stick) with peanut sauce, nasi goreng (fried rice) and a local dish called babi guling (roasted suckling pig). I didn't taste the latter, but I did eat the sate and the nasi goreng a lot.
