General Tips: Nothing new to say about Bali!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: Everyone does it anyway, but I have to say that Bali is one of the most magic places in the world. The whole island pulses with a mystic quality which is in the air you breathe!

    Fondest Memory: Wandering through sawah late in the evening as the twilight darkens and passing a young girl putting out the night's offering at a roadside candi.
    The sun and sand at Sanur and Kuta.
    The terraced hills of inner Bali.
    The friendly people of Bali...
    Bali - full stop.

  • Favorite Thing: On my first trip to Indonesia as a student, in 1989, I really enjoyed my time in Yogyakarta. We were lucky enough to meet the Sultan and Sultana in their palace. We also visited Borobudur and Prambanan temples just out of the city. One highlight was the "mail run" to the post office to send our postcards home to New Zealand. We used to take becaks down Jalan Maliorboro. A becak is a type of pedi-cab.
    In 1995, when I returned with the same school (but this time as a teacher), I don't remember seeing so many becak. However, the post office was still there - a fine old Dutch colonial building, resplendent, at the end of Jalan Malioboro.

     Well-written (as usual) tips and observations especially as it includes fond memories of your '89 high school trip. I see why Indonesia is very special to you. And you know the language too!
