http://kkkishore.blogspot.com/2015/07/visit-to-bali.html
The Place we live in and People we meet! 6 Days in Bali! The plane turned to land on a narrow strip flanked by the ocean on both the sides.

The other islands of Java and Sumatra are heavily populated and are largely Islamic. Bali is different due to the influence of Hinduism which had reached its shores in the 1.

Fortunately today rain gods have been a little merciful today, and it’s been a light drizzle instead of the usual afternoon downpour. Surprisingly the traffic wasn’t as bad it usually is on t...

The Place we live in and People we meet! Day 3: LEMBONGAN ISLAND! Bali also A Unique Cuisine, dominated by sea-food of great variety. Though I would make many waiters uncomfortable by asking for vegetarian options. They can make some of the dishes vegetarian by not adding Chicken/Shrimp to you. I tried the NASI GORENG and NASI CAMPUR and a few other options where they substituted meat for veggies for us. There are many Indian restaurants too - Queens Tandoor, food’s good, but over priced! The instructors...

The weather was pretty and their charges reasonable, so we did parasailing, Jet-Ski and few other sports in the amazing breeze. Many people were also surfing a little further into the sea.

The Place we live in and People we meet! Differences in Shia and Sunni prayers. Gulliver's travels contains one episode where Liliput and Blufescu are at war with each other as they hold different views as to which end of an egg must be broken first - Little or Big.
