Selamat hari raya to all people of Muslim faith. Today is December 20th 2007, and the big day (hari raya) is Idul Adha, the day that honors Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son for Allah. Fortunately Allah was merciful and allowed Ibrahim to substitute a goat for his son. On this day in Indonesia, many Muslims celebrate by eating sate kambing (goat satay).

Bali is referred to as the Island of the Gods because the Balinese people pay such attention to their Agama Hindu religion. With impressive temples such as Pura Besakih and Pura Ulun Danu Batur, tourists have a great opportunity to visit a pura (Balinese temple) to learn about the history and architecture. Temples really come alive though during an upacara (ceremony). Local temple ceremonies can be some of the best to see as it is unlikely other tourists will be around and the whole scene is generally quite relaxed.

People attending the UNFCCC (UN Framework Conference for Climate Change) in Nusa Dua starting December 4th 2007 may have some queries about what to wear and what to bring. The official website informs delegates that apart from the opening meeting and ministerial meetings, suits and ties do not need to be worn. This is because of the heat and humidity in Bali at this time of year. This is a good idea considering people are coming from all over the world including countries currently experiencing winter. The website also says there will be an attempt to use minimal air conditioning to limit greenhouse gases. This is a bad idea because as anyone in Bali will tel you, its steam bath right now. Take a room with 200 people in it, no air flow and minimal AC and you’ve got a recipe for discomfort. They should crank up the AC to make people feel comfortable and get on with the important work.
