As some of you may know we have a house in Bali. It's located in the Bloo Lagoon resort. Our house is now finished, and the resort has recently had official opening. However, some minor construction is still ongoing with the restaurant. Click on "Our House in Bali" on the menu bar to the left to see a few photos.
If you want to have a look at the project just follow the link

and see the Bloo Lagoon Village. Our house is now available for rent.
BALI
Bali is one of thousands of islands constituting the Indonesian Archipelago. Many names have been given to this beautiful island, like, 'The Last Paradise on Earth', 'Morning of the World', 'The Island of the Gods', as well as many other names.
The Balinese are Hindu yet their religion is very different from that of the Indian variety. They do have a caste system, but there are no untouchables and occupation is not governed by caste. To the stunning landscapes and marvellous panoramas, the Balinese add their colourful festivals, ritual ceremonies, traditional music and dances.
The island is dotted with ancient remains, ornately sculptured temples or holy places and this is most likely the main factor in keeping away any negative outside influence.
The Balinese worship the Hindu trinity Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu, who are seen as manifestations of the Supreme Gog Sanghyang Widhi. Other Indian gods like Ganesha (the elephant-headed god) also often appear, but more commonly, one will see shrines to the many gods and spirits that are uniquely Balinese.
Balinese believe strongly in magic and the power of spirits and much of their religion is based upon this. They believe that good spirits dwell in the mountains and that the seas are home to demons and ogres.
Festivals are another great occasion for appeasing the gods. The women bear huge, beautifully arranged, pyramids of food, fruit and flowers on their heads while the men conduct a blood sacrifice through a cockfight. There are traditional dances and music and the gods are invited to come down to join in the festivities.
Enjoy my collection of Balinese Art and craft.
