Second day - Bali

I was goin to continue to blog about my Bali trip..
But i had so many picture..

so i'll jus choose some of it ;)

12/6/09
We start our journey at 9am. Not too early or too late.

Our tour guide, Pak Pari gave each of us a map of Bali.

He also highlighted our journey for the day.

Bali Map

15hours to drive around the Island

Our first stop is to watch a cultural show.

if you had heard me talkin abt my trip,

this time it had been full with cultural visit XD
The show is a play(?) about an old story.. i forgot wat's the name of it dy lol

This is Barong-the main character

It is believe to have the power to protect people

In bali, u can see his sculpture almost everywhere!

forgot wat's the name.. hhmm i'll check back later

As you see this is the evil one XD

The play is accompanied by traditional instrument

I like the music~~
Almost wanted to buy a cd on Balinese instrument

After the cultural show, we headed to visit one of the traditional houses.

I mean is really visiting somebody's house. They just do their own things while tourist visitin

their house, taking photo. But i belive Balinese house is really expensive to maintain.

Want to know how it looks like? go urself =p

Do you know what coffee bean is the most expensive?

If i'm not mistaken, it should be 'mao si kah feh" (in canto) direct translate is cat shit coffee =p

We pass by a coffee plantation and make a stop to enjoy the coffee~

Is not cat shit coffee la..

I tink this is the real name: Luwak Coffee

Do you know why is call cat shit coffee, nono, shud be Luwak Coffee?

The coffee bean is first eaten by the Luwak.. and after goin through their digesting system,

the bean that came out, will be the expensive Luwak Coffee!!

Of course it'll go through some processing and cleaning la hahah

Here's the Lawak Coffee that should be very expensive!

I didn't get to try coz they dun hav any stock.

IF not, i think i'll love to buy one packet XD

Here's the Luwak. Usually they only use Wild Luwak's dropping lol

but this is the unlucky one who got caught??

Okay, after watchin coffee bean, we continue our journey to have a look of the sleeping volcano~

The scenery is great, the air is so refreshing. BUT.......



so many people busy selling their stuff to us.. Dont really have the peaceful feeling.. sigh

btw, i bought some postcards here. If i havent give u any postcard, let me know. That's my souvenir for all of you XD

We also had our lunch in a restaurant up at the hill, while watchin this scenery.

Well, is a nice place, it would be even better if it is more peaceful =)

After filling our stomachs. We go down the hill and to visit a temple!
The temple is a sacred place, so you either wear long pants to go in

Or you'll have to wrap a sarong =)

Of course entrance fees and charges will be on sarong.

Do you think we look very lady after wearin the sarong? heheh

The sacred water.
usually the prayers will go into the water.

I take a sip of the water too ;)

The alter(?) not sure whether i used the right word
Offering will be placed here

School children visitin the temple and prayin

After this.. We visited a painter house/shop, alot of drawings there

We actually liked one of the drawing.. but is not cheap..

Bali is a place full with artistic people, you can really see them being very artistic

I think it is within their blood XD

After that, we had dinner and end of the day lol

i lazy to upload more photo la.. hahah

so that's all for the Second day ^^
