The shops at Kuta, the town of Bali which is very commercialized. But still, it's fun to browse around on the cute and lovely items....

Ubud Art Market. They sell a lot of stone carving, wood carving, ratan products, batik, accessories and some small souvenirs.. Remember to BARGAIN!!! SOMEONE & myself are not good in bargain and that's why we didn't buy much from the market.

The market is actually kinda old and lack of maintenance. Rubbish everywhere, stalls are very close to each other which leave not much space for us to walk comfortable. Therefore, hot!! Motorcyclists will drive along the market and sometimes, cars too!! Have to be careful whenever walking on the street as they not actually drive on the main road. Kakakaka...

Mount Batur Volcano on Bali is still active. There weather is cooling, it's just like Genting Highland. We had our lunch there, nice view, nice weather but terrible food. Kakakakaka... but still it didn't spoil our good and happy mood.


Here are some photos taken from the local temples and Ancient Royal Palace. Most of them are stone carving and some of them really looks scary....














These photos are taken from Gua Gajah which believed that was a school in Century 11. Not that there got alots of Gajah [Elephant], actually there has no elephants in Bali. Gajah symbolise WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE & POWERFUL, therefore, they name the school as Gua Gajah. The local believe that the water from the fountain will bring youth and wisdom to the person who bath with it /drink it.


This is the interesting one in Gua Gajah. These 3 sticks represent PENIS and the local believe that by praying sincerely to them will bring the family children. The clothes surrounding them represent something, eg. White = Knowledge and etc. I forgot. Sorry... :P


So far, that's it lohhh.... :)
