Things I liked:
- Ubud beautiful Ubud!
- The stone carvings, wood carvings, oil paintings, sketches, and every single piece of spectacular art and craft.
- Uluwatu temple and the Kecak Fire Dance during the seaside sunset.
- Lunch at Mount Kintamani facing the beautiful volcano Mount Batur and the Lake Batur.
- The seafood at Jimbaran at the beautiful blue waters.
- The shops and the shopping everywhere.
- The fascinating strand of Hinduism that the Balinese staunchly believe in, their customs, beliefs and ceremonies!
- Kuta. Enough said.
- The traffic and the packed roads.
- Kuta Beach.
- The CROWD!
- The too many-loud-bars and clubs.
- Distances in Bali. (everywhere takes at least an hour and a half- and some as long as to three to four hours)
- The Bargaining. Oh-so-tiring.
Bali is not much of a beach place, especially during the peak season, as there are people EVERYWHERE. And for me for a beach to be good, it has to be empty. But Bali is full of artsy cultural things and Ubud is really lovely, and that is reason enough to visit. Although in my case, my parents are the drinking kind, and their biggest complaint was that I did not want to go to noisy clubs, and instead wanted to go to temples and such.
