Ever wondered about the ceremonies in Bali?
Why do the Balinese do what they do?
Why do they wear what they wear?
What do they think about tourism, tourists and other things you weren't sure if you could ask?
Ever wondered what a wedding is like, or the etiquette of what to do when you have a driver, or a Balinese friend has a baby, or even what to do if you live in Bali?
Our Bali Guide ebook is not only our past blog posts, but over 600 pages of information about Bali.
GLUTEN-FREE, DAIRY-FREE, LACTOSE-FREE, EGG-FREE, NUT FREE – GOING ON A HOLIDAY, WHAT CAN I EAT?
Did you ever get on a long haul flight and tick one or more of those boxes, only to be given fruit for all 3 meals? Many of us have.
Well, there is a lot of fruit in Bali, so you will be fine! No, seriously, you already know a list of things you can eat, you are already sending that list to the airline….so, what about the rest of your holiday?
Going on a holiday means you don’t have to cook, plan meals, do dishes etc. It’s supposed to be a time when you get hungry, you just choose one of the many restaurants on offer, right?….not for people with allergies.
Some allergies give you a pretty bad tummy, some are life-threatening. So, going on a holiday, and trying to work out what you can eat, in a foreign country (with language barriers), can be a little stressful…and holidays are supposed to be stress-free.
So, you want to climb Mt Batur?
Remember, Bali is a cultural destination, some people forget that when they come to Bali. They party for days at the hottest night spots in Bali, and then they get a great idea “let’s go climb a volcano”. So, we suddenly have a different type of tourist visiting our area.
Unplanned Adventures
I thought with Agung stirring us up for 24 hours on 29 June 2018, a little reminder that we all need sometimes, to travel anywhere has unexpected adventures.
No matter where you travel in the world although you can plan as much as possible, there may be something that changes your plans. These can then become unplanned adventures.
Of course, the hot topic right now is the volcano, Mt Agung and its pregnancy, however, this condition heightens tourists’ awareness of earthquakes. A few tourists have felt them in their visits this past month, the largest being a mag 4.3 felt in Kuta and Ubud.
Some tourists have also felt smaller tremors related to Mt Agung's belly, as high as mag 3.5, a mag 3.2 just this morning on the North Bali coast, came up on my phone App while writing this.
