We had just taken off for about half hour. Must admit it that I'm sad to leave the island of the Gods. It had been a wonderful cultural experience. Ati & I promised each other to come back again. There was definitely so much to see and do. For the last 2 days, I tried to absorb as much as possible. It was quite tiring but we just have to keep on moving.
Bali has so much to offer. I don't know what appeals to others but for Ati & I, we were much into the cultural thingy. No reading or research could prepare us for the experience. I've been reading about Bali for the last 1 year but we were still awed by the experience.
I didn't even managed to hang out at the beach nor the spa (tho I had planned for it!). There wasn't enough time. The culture, art, architecture, religion, people, sight...they all blend into one lifestyle.
As Ati puts it, everything the Balinese do is their devotion to their faith. Comparing to Malaysian, we can't really point what's our identity...but for the Balinese, it's in everything they do, from offerings to their Gods to building their homes. It's in everything we see, hear, smell and touch. Every gate or door or roof has the same feature, no matter where. Their devotion is shown in everything they do...from their art, carvings, crafts, etc.
Everytime you turn, you'd pick up a new experience. If ever you're in Bali, take time to smell the rose or...ehem, take time to study the details on their doors.
I'm still perhaps in cloud nine and no word could ever trully describe how I feel at the moment.
Till my next Bali trip, all I can say for now is Matur Suksma (Thank you in Balinese).
