Bali Trip Day 2

3rd Oct 2008

7.00am morning call..

After buffet breakfast at hotel, we depart at 8.30am..

Went to Ubud Village.

Ubud is famous with its Monkey Forest and Art Market which sells a wide range of clothing, fabrics, masks and souvenirs.

You can also find silver, batiks and paintings in various styles.

The 1st place we went in Ubud was the famous souvenirs shop.

The things there is quite expensive, tourism place is like tat one.

I din buy anything there, juz a necklace for Aka and was paid by xiao yi.

After tat went to a silver shop.

Nothing much attracted me there and juz snap the photo around.

I don like silver much as they will get dark easily and so nothing gain from the shop.

This pic i snap in the silver shop.

This is Balinese's God. Most of the local ppl believe in this God.

The tour guide told us tat Bali ppl dun treat their God well,

they believe tat if u treat the 'too well', the God wont fulfill ur prayer.

Must put the God outside the house and let God kena the sunshine and rain.

After God had fulfill their dream by letting them to earn more money, then can buy an umbrella for God.

* notice the umbrella above the God in the pic?

And after they had earn big money, they will move the God inside the house to 'stay' with them.

So the God pic tat i took at the silver shop, i snap it inside the shop..

Tat's mean this silver shop had earn big money ! ! ! The God can stay inside with them ! ! !

After visiting Ubud village, we continue to Kintamani.

Kintamani, a mountain village which lies 1400 meters above sea level, a breathtaking view of Batur mountain, an active volcano and Batur Lake at the edge of Kintamani Village.

We had our buffet lunch at a restaurant which we can hav a nice view of Batur mountain and Batur Lake during the meal.

After lunch, we visit Tampak Siring "Pura Tirta Empul", the temple of Tampak Siring which built around a sacred spring.

The temple and its two bathing place have been used by the Balinese for over 1000 years for good health and prosperity.

Many believers drink the spring water and bath with it.

There is another 2 bathing place for male and female separately. I saw those ppl really naked and bath there.

This thing look like wat??

Local ppl believe tat if u want to giv birth to a son, can come and pray here and touch this thing repeatedly, then the God will bless u ! !

On our way walk out from the temple, there are over 200 of stalls for us to shop.

We met some difficulty when buying thing as the Rupiah is so so big, we dun even knoe how to count.

In Indon, 1000 Rupiah can only used for paying the toilet.

All the things sell there is in thousand, hundred thousand and even in million Rupiah..

Huh, count the money until i kepala putar-putar dy ! !

We can always saw this kind of pondok in Bali.

From the tour guide, we know tat this is call pondok mimpi.

During day time, a lot of guy, especially those whose hav 4 wives, will sit in the pondok, mimpi there and doing nothing.

They no need to work as their 1st wives will take care of the house and the rest 2nd, 3rd and 4th will go out work to earn money.

They juz need to relax in the pondok to gain enuf energy for ' night time OT '.... Haha

Tat's their culture, ridiculous rite ??

After dinner, went back to hotel to rest.

There is a Blue Eyes karaok connected to the hotel, so we spend our night free time there from 9pm to 3am.

It was Shin Lee's birthday, we celebrate there.

And this's the 1st time i heard Birthday song in Indon style.

We spend almost 6 hours in the karaok, 1st 3 hours was singing time, then next 3 hours was Youngster Happy Time.

At 12.30am, youngster start exciting and it was our own disco dancing time..

We shout like hell in the room and drink like hell too..

Soooo happyyyy and soooo highhhh ! ! !

And finally Justin got drunk.. haha funny funny

Tat night i slept at 3 something but i din sleep well as drink too much dy, kepala pusing-pusing...
