Oct 29,2007 00:00 by newsdesk
Bali is the best known of all the Indonesian islands and instantly evokes images of ancient temples, graceful dancers, beaches, lush green paddy fields and an ambience that literally breathes 'exotic’. Bali is actually a little bit of nearly everything most tourists would want out of a holiday destination - there’s entertainment, there’s culture, and there’s sheer natural beauty. The Balinese, as a people are extremely artistic and religious, and the combination shows in the expression of various art forms- the beautifully decorated temples and the dance dramas that depict tales from the Hindu epics of the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. Against the backdrop of Bali’s towering volcanoes, rippling streams and green fields, it’s a beauty you might find at times hard to believe. What makes Bali even more attractive is the fact that it’s easy to get to, many people are fluent in English, and the island is very tourist-friendly.
