Tanah Lot Festival 2009
A nine days of daily performances, handicraft exhibitions and other related cultural and commercial activities during which literally the whole Tabanan to present its offerings of dance,music and beauty.
Its just not in the right light.
Tanah Lot Sunset
Think place nearby and less effort to go there, it is Tanah Lot in my mind , came with my wife and my friend, the place is already packed with tourists when we got there.
Some shots of sunset of Tanah Lot on very spot were cak kolosal 5000 was held on 2006.
Warung Krishna Sanur
for a food stall that not in main road Warung Krishna is quite famous, some expatriate or tourists also can bee seen having lunch or breakfast this warung.The dishes are affordable indeed and the good thing that this place is cool and shady where people can relax enjoying their meal.
Warung Krishna which is located on Kutat Lestari street(Sanur) has great local dishes like nasi campur Bali, bubur ayam, tipat kuah
Padang padang beach
Saturday travel again, at last! let’s go to the beach
Padang-padang beach Bali is not too big sandy white sea side, but it’s beautiful by my standard. the location is not far from Dreamland beach, you just have to locate Labuan Sait street (people also call this beach Labuan Sait beach) and follow the road . You can see the sign on the road side and the beach also visible from the bridge.
Activities: Surfing, Swimming, Sun tanning , Fishing (i’m not really ‘catch’ what people are doing with their fishing gear)
Balangan Beach
Long and bumpy road that leads to Balangan beach,Although is not too far away from Dreamland beach it seem not too many people come to visit this beach, maybe because the road that mostly damaged would make people reluctant to drive through.
Balangan beach has white sand and the wave type is reef break. I came in cloudy day so i just missed the sunset which i believe this beach is one of the best place to view sunset.
Surf site in Bali
Bali’s southern beach waters produce exhilirating breaks, it is definitely surfing paradise, i’m not a surfer but i do visit some of these beautiful beaches that are claimed as place to enjoy wave.
Kuta and Legian Beach – Soft beach breaks, perfects perfect for learning
Dreamland – My favorite , beach and reef breaks for novice to experienced surfer
Nusa Dua – reef breaks for experienced surfers, best in the wet season (Nov to March)
Padang-padang – The most dangerously tubing for left-handler; works only on huge swells this one leave for the pros
The Balangan – Balangan is a reef break though which differentiates it from Dreamland.
Suluban – The waves are extremely big and break into reef.
Frog Market
My field trip to Pasar Kodok { Frog Market } which is not actually a market that sells frog , this is an area in Kediri, Tabanan Regency about 50 minutes from Denpasar where group of trader established tents to sell imported attire such as jacket, suite,jeans,sweater, t-shirt, short, even bra :). According to traders there the market name’s comes from the location of the market which is located on rice field which people whereas are often find frogs.
Started on 2001 by Madura’s trader most of the goods are imported from Japan,Singapore, Korea. the market is visited not just from local people but also from foreign tourist.
I bought my self 2 training jackets for 30.000 rupiah a piece which cost probably 80.000 rupiah in shopping mall, they are not new but they are nice jacket.
pornography bill signed
Despite all the critics and rally upon pornography bill the House of Representative finally signed / passed the bill on 30 Oct,2008, and Bali as one of few province that clearly disaggree to the bill has stated that Bali refuse to obey the law.
Kuta karnival 2008
Nothing much to say about Kuta Karnival 2008, except the hot weather and not quite a good time when another big event 1st Asian Beach Games was held in similar date [18-26 october], which i think kinda split people attention whether see the Asian Beach Games or Kuta Karnival, but above all i think Kuta Karnival is still better Festival compare to similar event measure by the events and people who come to the event. I just got back to Bali on 24 October, so i guess i miss lot of things during the Kuta Karnival and ABG, but i manage to come to see the closing parade of Kuta Karnival 2008.
