Dance and Souvenir in Bali

Bali Dance

Kecak Dance and Barong Dance Schedule

Kecak Dance is usually done when the sunset, not all places hold Kecak Dance .. for example Tana Lot only held on Saturdays .. and special day Saturday the cost to enter Tanah Lot is charged 50rb per person ..

There are also some places that make Kecak Dance every day, such as Pura Ulu Watu .. but I do not recommend to go there if you use a motorcycle because the Road to get there is very dark .. tp if you use the car ga apa2 kok ... But you can ask tempat2 Others who hold Kecak Dance at the information centers around you or at the Hotel

Souvenirs

Souvenirs can be purchased at Poppies Lane I and II, Legian, many items are sold as souvenirs such as fabrics, clothing, carvings, bags, etc. But if you want to buy in bulk to sell again you can go to Sukawati to the northwest of Kuta. For gold & silver craft can be found in Celuk unidirectional to Sukowati-Ubud.

If you have enough time to cross this lake to a place called Truyan. This village is like in Toraja where the corpses of the dead are not buried but only placed on the ground. I have never been there but on the other hand it must be my first agenda to visit Truyan.

Lake Batur Kitamani

I suggest if you want to enjoy the scenery of the mountain / lake batur should arrive during the day when 'Lunchtime' and go straight into rumah2 restaurant / restaurant there to avoid 'forced vendors' there ... and the merchant will not dare u to offer up to Restaurants .. usually there is a buffet restaurant where there is a buffet concept which provides fast food that is very varied and we live take and eat  ..

Interesting places Around Kuta-Bali

There are many places that can be visited in Bali, one month in Bali was not enough to explore this beautiful island island.

I divide these places based on the direction of the road so you can plan your schedule per day Around Kuta

Kuta beach

The beach is very famous until there is a song by Andre Hehanusa and Ebiet G Ade. It's incomplete when you come to Bali but do not visit this beach. Why I suggest to make Poppies Lane II a "Base Camp" other than just 8 km from the airport, this area is very close to Kuta Beach about 100 m (only 5 minutes if guling2an), so if you stay here you are just under swimwear and Towels from the hotel continue to swim to the beach.

Sunset In Kuta Beach

For those of you want to surf or just want to learn this is the place. Bule-bule from Europe aja bela-belain come to Kuta Beach for surfing. For those of you who are fiance or dating this place is a very romantic place to "tie up the promise" along with the sun that slowly goes down ... oh .. so romantic ..!

Sometimes though we visit elsewhere, at 4 pm bela-belain quickly back to Kuta in order to see the sunset.

Bali Water Boom

The best water boom I feel in Indonesia, water boom in Ancol lost high, clean, beautiful, and safe. Here there is a place to swim, sunbathe, slide (water sliding), or challenge the guts in the slide as high as 30 m. Plus can glare ABG Caucasians and local sexy bikini .. rarely khan .. is in Jakarta. This place is located at Jalan Kartika Plaza about 2 km from Legian 10 minutes from Poppies.

Legian Street In The Night

Legian

Along this street is filled with shops selling souvenirs and scattered cafes & restaurants that provide a lively atmosphere at night. It is incomplete if you do not take pictures at Bali Bombing Monument on this Road.
