My love for poetry was borne out of my passion for writing. I have turned my hand at creating sonnets and ballads and even avant garde poetry but it is the poetry haiku that I find endearing.
Yesterday I mentioned a magazine or should I say comic called Bog Bog which you can buy in Bali and it is really an entertaining read.
People visit the island of Bali for a variety of reasons and the basic of course being to chill out and relax, and enjoy time away from the rat race of their lives back in their home country.
A new spa guide website for Bali has been launched and this will no doubt entrench the islands world-wide reputation as a leading spa destination for worldwide travellers.
I have never been one for Guide books although I must admit they are handy sometimes when you have to find accommodation in a hurry. The trouble with guidebooks is that no sooner are they printed, the information available inside them is out of date. By that I mean that restorans close down and hotels and losmens cease to function as properties.
It won't be long before October is upon us and it is the Ubud Writers Festival that will take centre stage in Bali for those interested.
Expats living in Bali have numerous broadsheets and periodicals available to them. One of my favourites is the Bali Advertiser among others but my all time favourite is Bog Bog.
You really have to give the publishers of Playboy magazine in Indonesia full credit for their latest initiative. They have released the 2nd edition of Playboy from their new office in Bali.
Most of us would dearly adore living in the tropics and especially Bali. Getting your own house there or renting it, and generally enjoying life to the max. But, what kind of house would you choose?.
Bali has some great museums, including the Bali Museum in Denpasar and the whole array of museums in Ubud.
Treasures of Bali is a guide book that covers some of the most important including the Bali Museum and Kerta Gosa in Klungkung.
