Dunno really how to start my supposedly epic (*joke*) post on this blog.
Bali was… well, Bali is, yeah, definitely IS a place to be. Neither because of
Kuta with its vibrant nightlife, dingy hostels and hordes of Aussies nor
because of superior white sand beaches and crystal clear sea… Bali is diverse, you
can get utterly angry with monkey that has destroyed your glasses in Uluwatu,
then go 50 km north to Ubud and get overwhelmed with spectacular beauty of rice
paddies. From peaceful, vivid green little isle called Nusa Ceningan to loud
5-storey discotheque in Kuta. There were few things in Bali I wanted to
experience, one of them was Kecak dance which both, visually and auditory, blew
my mind. Below you can see a fragment from “Baraka” movie that perfectly depicts
spirit of Kecak performance.
Other than that I had impression that my stay was sort of unlucky: loss
of glasses, credit card, lens error in my silly digital camera and finally sore
throat I had for most of the days, however I meet this French traveller, ,
whose story was way more, no, not unlucky, in a way she was very lucky. What do
you say for a motorbike accident and following car accident few days later? No
fractures gained, just bruises and some serious wounds, still Julie kept her
spirit and decided to complete her one-year-around-globe travel.
To
sum up, Bali definitely deserves to be revisited, just Ramayama,
please, keep me away from Kuta and far enough from overrated Padang Bai,
just let me hang up somewhere between Nusa
Ceningan and Petulu village.
