We often find many tourists to Bali have a lot of questions and there is not a lot of information out there is one place, so here are some Random Facts about Bali. These are Random, we will add more as we think of them.
“Laws are sand; customs are rock. Laws can be evaded and punishment escaped, but an openly transgressed custom brings sure punishment. The penalty may be unfair, unrighteous, illogical, and a cruelty; no matter, it will be inflicted, just the same.

In Bali we have two Laws, the Civil Law that governs your holiday here, it covers everything from Immigration to Drivers Licenses, liquor licences etc; and then there is Desa Adat Law (Village Customary law).
