Bali Trip

Bali was a picturesque journey. Eventhough I fell sick upon arrival, I was able to enjoy the wonderful view. I also pick up some customs and traditions along the way.



For example, the children in Bali have prefix titles before their names. The eldest is known as Wayan,...third child as Nyoman etc.



I also was told that people who died and buried at the volcanic hills do not have any odour despite not being covered. Cremation is part of theburial custom and poor people who cannot afford the cremation ceremony can bury their dead first, but the corpse must be cremated before the fifth year.



Spending 5 days in Bali tells me the Balinese are very religious, praying three times a day and the numerous temples in the island is a good example of their religiousity.



I also noticed that the elements of water, pandan leaves , colour and art are an important part of Balinese way of life.
