Holidays in Bali

Bali Menjangan

Why any sane person would decide for holidays in Bali?


a) because Bali can set even a hardcore rat racer into a leisure cruising mode
b) because you can visit 7 temples, 1 volcano, 3 lakes, 2 dances and still catch a dinner in a same day
c) because a Japanese tourist inside you wants you to tick all the boxes with famous destination on the globe
d) because of me (tick d, please!!!, tick d)

If you answered a, b, c, d or e, your answer is absolutely correct!

Correct answers:

a) Upon arrival you will be immersed into difference of life, attitude and priorities in Bali, in lovely contrast to Western world.
Magic of soft, warm, humid air and people with smiles in their eyes and hearts is a pleasant welcome for all visitors.
And very true, side effects of these differences will work like a charm on you.
b) Sometimes we all start craving for sightseeing. Time to move…
Density of places worth seeing in Bali is such it will quench your thirst for exotic attractions as fresh coconut milk will reset your body fluids.
c) Sometimes we want to run away from ourselves, environment we live and work in, mother-in-law; sometimes in quest for something new and awfully important (we do not know exactly what) and - voila! We start going places. And Bali is definitely one of The Places.
d) Well, to meet a living, walking, breathing, diving legend and eventually even receive his handshake – if this is not a good enough reason to fly across half the globe…
e) And of course, any half baked excuse that pops up between your ears that you terribly need a change and must hop to Bali will do.

  2. Hi Karin, your English is only too good for average Balinese working in tourism industry.
    They try to guess what you want on "search engines" principle. They simply focus on key words.
    If you say: "Take me to Jimbaran, to a fish restaurant, please!", you will get to one of the fish restaurants in Jimbaran area.
    On the other hand, if you will say: "You know, I really can not stand these temporary lovers offers in Kuta, I really find Kuta and all these temporary lovers disgusting, rather teke me anywhere else for a nice dinner...", you can imagine where your journey will end :)
