People often ask what Bali is like and it is so hard to describe with words. For anyone that has been fortunate enough to have traveled to the "Island Of Gods" I am sure that you too have a hard time explaining just how beautiful it is even though it may seem to be run down. What we cannot describe in words, it will be described in pictures and video clips, hope you enjoy them!

Whilst in Ubud Bali this August there was a large cremation service held in Ubud. At times I felt as if this was a public-private cultural ceremony but I found everyone to be quite nice and friendly!

This temple and water garden was built at the end of the 19th century, by commission of the royal family, and named after the Hindu goddess of art and learning. The "padmasana" or main shrine features awesome carvings. Traditional Balinese dances are performed by a live gamelan orchestra in the outdoor courtyard next to the lotus pond twice a week. It is an awesome place to catch a live performance.
One of my absolutely favorite things to do each time I go to Bali is to see live performances at the outdoor temple in Ubud. There is just something about a fairly small audience, outdoors, with the starts shining brightly overhead, I can never tire of it. If you have the opportunity don't miss it.
