Travel advice for Bali
Travel advice is cheap. Everyone who comes here can give their opinion and tips on where to go, what to do and how to avoid hassles. Reading an article from Arthur Frommer’s, offering answers to general travel questions, I thought I’d apply that to Bali. Here’s what Frommer’s says.

Second Australian man feared drowned in Bali
A second Australian man is feared dead in Bali, a day after a fellow Aussie surfer drowned at Seminyak beach. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, a 30 year old man from Victoria was missing after surfing at Uluwatu, Bali’s premier surf break.

Bunut Bolong: North Bali
One of my greatest delights in Bali is to drive up into the mountains. Here, where the cool air is fresh and unadulterated, you can immerse the senses in a panorama of Mother Nature's beauty.

Touch Football Championships: Canggu, Bali
Besides soccer, my all time favourite game has to be Rugby whether it is League or Union. Australian Rules football I can watch and tolerate but it's not on the top of my list as favourite sports.

Bali surfer Rizal an entrepaneur
Bali local surfer Rizal Tanjung is known for ripping Padang Padang and other Butkit breaks to shreds. Rizal is no slacker when it comes to busines either, owning Un’s Hotel and The Balcony, located on Jl. Benesari across from ther Circle K 150 meters from the beach. The Balcony is a cool place, decent breakfasts, a cool atmosphere and a surfer hotspot. There is a photo of Kelly Slater on the wall enjoying his grub.

Between Times - Photographs and Paintings: Bali
Bali is without a doubt an artist's island of inspiration. The multitude of colours across the landscape, in a market or at a temple ceremony are pleasing to the eye and the pallet.
