not like other tourist destination place in the world Bali’s tourism is focused in cultural tourism means that Bali offers beauty of culture, art performance that make it uniques and completely different to your Las Vegas travel for instance and the industry continues in progress for years i don’t want to sound negative about all the development on going but i’m concern about business and accomodations development that sacrifice paddy rice,beaches and neglecting the Bali architectural style and local environment, if you go around city of Denpasar, Kuta, Seminyak or Sanur you can see what i’m talking about hundreds of shops stands and some of them are abundant and more shops are build. When this all end what’s left to see in Bali? shops?

Traffic, Parking and Sunset
if you passing by Legian street you will notice that the street is more less traffic may be because there are no vehicles park on both road side, whoah this is good, now you can reach Kuta beach little bit faster, i kinda like this situation but wait until you get in front of Hard Rock hotel, there you go traffic ! especially on Saturday and Monday afternoon just before sunset, from my experience either you come early or you park in the middle or halfway Kuta beach. But there are more than one place in south Bali that you can enjoy sunset, i would say that Dreamland beach is one of my favorite.
Above photo is Dreamland beach before sunset
US travel warning no more
After almost 8 years US finally lift their travel warning on Indonesia as by U.S. Ambassador to Indonesia On Sunday. May 25, 2008 , but would it make more US citizen go to Bali and visit this thousand shrines island? we’re here in Bali hope so, especially after economy is down by two terrorist attacks in this area more tourists could mean more chances to do abd i hope there will be more jobs available in hospitality industry.
