Bali - An Addictive Holiday Experience

Though Bali has been named the most enchanting holiday escape of 2009 and it is all set to win that title yet again this year, the combination of the friendly people, the natural attractions, the exciting night life, the year-round pleasant climate, and the absence of security problems makes it the top contender for the position compared to many other island get-away from all over the world. It is no wonder that with so many temples and a culture that is well integrated with its religious set up Bali's has a special magic, which is difficult to explain but not so hard to sense and experience from the minute you step off the plane in Bali, which make it definitely Balinese.

Vacationers and visitors to Bali will notice that the villages still hold the timeless traditional quietness and wisdom in old people's faces, and the interest, curiosity and respect for the tourists and the visitors in the young minds and faces. Old men sit on the road sides encouraging their fighting cocks while traditionally dressed beautiful Balinese women work in the rice fields and forests making daily offerings at the temples.

While your senses are intoxicated in the sweet smell of fresh tropical flowers in all the colors the sound of gamelan music from the distance fills your soul with a peace and serenity that is hard to come by. Bali's many Gods and spirits have had an integral part in Bali's daily life for hundreds of years and Bali's holy mountain of Gunung Agung is globally regarded as one of the eight 'Chakra' points of the world which is why one trip to Bali can have you addicted for the rest of your life.
