The Wanderer's Guide to Bali

Bali is unlike any other place. It is the home of the most 'whole' culture I have ever seen. Everything is inter-linked and inter-related.Life, death, man, woman, child, god, demon, music, dance, earth, sea, work, play, nature, art, craft, architecture, everything, are all as one.The most sacred occasions carry a touch of joy, and the most joyful occasions carry a touch of the sacred.Everything is significant, so nothing is more important than anything else.To go there once, with your eyes open, is to see a way of life that is rare. Sadly rare.
