Galungan tommorrow in Bali
Tommorrow is Galungan in Bali. Some foreign businesses will close early today, to allow staff to get back to their villages.
Sitting here in Seminyak, I just talked to Galaxy owner, Jeff from Australia. Jeff said tommorrow its business as usual for him. Balinese people have an air of excitement right now, its a bit like Christmas eve, with decorations and penjors all over the place.
Galungan lasts for 10 days, although most people will be back to work within a day or 2. Galungan celebrates the return to Earth of the Gods. Their stay finishes with Kuningan, the most important day of the lot, when they leave.
If you are in Bali right now take a drive around the Ubud area, East Bali, or any scenic part of Bali. The streets will be lined with penjors creating a magical setting.

happy galungan & kuningan to all readers of bali-blog as the meaning of galungan a celebration of the good(dharma)defeated evil this so much relevant in todays world of anarchis and terror we got lost to define who the army of evil and who the army of good any more everything is blured,as every one believed they are on the right side of history (in god side)i guess only history will be the judge of that as we human are imperfect, as much as we thing we are on the right side of history.
