Bali Photo Album

Bali Photo Album

My Gift from this trip

Polo's Working Shirt, Bali Bag (small), Massage oil and Bali coffee, Fake-LV passport holder from Jakarta (the shopping mall below ino's mum condo)

Gift i bought for myself this trip~ cant shop much coz i dont feel comfortable when inho mummy insist to pay everything *not very nice/filial to ask your parent to pay when u r working adult in Chinese culture* but according to Korean and Japanese culture parent MUST pay for the younger, if younger insist of paying it shows disrespect/look down on the elder~

Hm.. another culture clash lesson i learned from this trip~ haizz but ask me to allow ino's mum pay ever

Indonesia Bali Trip (Day 3)

Day 3! didnt went out.. stayed in hotel, had a very long breakfast.. coz ino's brother puked after hardrock bar last night~

Indonesia Bali Trip (Day 2) Part12

9th stop: Jimbaran Bay Restaurant
First impression: Ghost town! the smoke, the amount of pollution is terrible!!! is not just 1 part of the restaurant is the whole roll of restaurant... covered by thick smoke~



Photo below in this post are from dawnyang's blog! as mention in previous post my camera no batt already~ so credit to her .. so lucky she went the same place.. else this portion of our memories will be gone with the wind~~
They got fresh fish, huge prawn, huge lobster (abt 2-3kg each, size of my arm) i never eaten a lobster that big b4!!! ino mummy end up chose 1 big lobster, prawn, 1 fish, claims and fried sambal kangkong~ This place is located beside 4 season hotel so price wise also not too cheap~
Look at the smoke.. reason being they recycle and use COCONUT shell instead of charcoal.. The seafood taste gd but i don't think they are as fabulous as wat dawn mention.. the smoke make the seafood too dry/old~ they do have their special sauce but all the seafood taste the same with the same sauce!!! -_______-""" felt the lobster was abit wasted to BBQ~ Steam/Sashimi would be a better choice~
Relaxing beach~ nice place.. u can play with the water b4 ur BBQ are ready~ there is 1 amazing band walking around to sing u song. they can sing lotsa of language... i heard them sing English, Chinese, jap, Korean, Spanish... paid $3 for a kr song and it makes ino mummy so happy~ :)

Indonesia Bali Trip (Day 2) Part11

8th stop: Bali Batu Bolong Temple
Also known as a temple on the cliff
Look at the beach~ soOOo clean ^o^ coz this is very far from e city
People actually went all the way down here to surfBatu Bolong Temple is located in the west side of Tanah Lot Temple which is featured by beautiful panorama with the big hole under the temple. Batu Bolong Temple is also built on the rock with the reef bank and own the small temple yard.This is also locked! BUT!!!! the guide is very NICE!! he brought us to walk along the edge of this temple over to the other side of the cliff~ Very scary *maybe i m timid* but if i happen to tripped cfm chopped "bao si one"Ino and Mummy~ this is also the last photo of the day.. My camera failed me after this shot!

Balinese Hindu Culture~ u can see this everywhere.. in front of shop, cars, hotels~ this is said to be their offering to the god
70% of Indonesian works in agriculture industry although this industry only consist of country's 14% of GDP~

Indonesia Durians

This is not the first time i tried Durian in Indonesia.. ino's dad bought once on the previous time we visit~ and both time the durian look yellow?! They selling like $4-5 buck each~ but the quality taste like 3 for $10 kind or even worst~ Singapore and Malaysia durian so much better

Indonesia Bali Trip (Day 2) Part6

5th stop: Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary
An interesting history of this sanctuary and Balinese Hinduism
Entrance to the monkey forest
The locals selling banana by the entrance
Lotsa monkeys running around. The monkey here are quite tame.. they dun snatch..guide say becoz there have bundles of bananas from the tourist~ Saw some hilarious and quite scary there.. There was one white American guy trying to take close intimate photos with a small monkey~ their big/old monkey tribe leader suddenly made some furious noise and came running toward him with sharp fangs (very old money.. teeth/fangs very long) .. the angmo guy freak out!! and he shouted FUCK OFF!!! so loud that everyone (including the old monkey) got shocked!!! LOL~
Another buddy enjoying his meal
Monkey Pool~ Their life are good!!!
The temple inside the monkey forest.. u must pay/donate to wear the "SARONG" b4 enter..
The inner temple gate is locked.. in Indian culture they only allow Hindi to enter their sanctuary place~ so all their "tourist attraction" sanctuary hall are mostly locked!! The building is sooo pretty!!! Old and full of stories~
This place used to be a temple + town council.. so ppl do gather here for meetings!! Photo above is a bell~ to call or to gather~ it's locked and the guide say if somehow u manage to ring it.. u will get fined~ =___="
i always think this sculpture doesn't look right.. look like the monster is preparing to eat the child he is holding~ HaHa
Us and our sarong thingy~
The town council hall
Roof made with sugarcane
Green everywhere.. so many moneys so many trees so many sculptures covered in algae
something common abt their traditional sculptures are their characters posses some kind of magical animal/ monster look~ alittle bit of Thai alittle bit of Hindi alittle bit of Malay~
The Wishing Pond!! our wish: the 10million lotto coming this sat!!!
Komodo dragon waterfall.. it's on a cliff~ our guide have stand on one edge to take this photo for us~ They love komodo dragons.. have alot of sculptures on them *even in jakarta airport* they are indo's protected species evolved from dinosaur era~
