Sorry to hear that Bert. It's certainly a loss for the festival as well since the quality of your photos is reknown as belonging to the best. A preliminary photo report can be found at http://www.northbali.com

Roy, hors d'oevres? Not quite. Prawns, chocolate cakes, and hp nrs ;-)

Nice pictures Bert! Will contact you today for picture inventory. Too bad you missed out at the Golf Tournament in Bedugul Bert. Because of (un)fortunate coincidences there was hardly any public and no press at all present in Bedugul. Because of this Glenn and I were in the position to...

When you think of it, how does Bali sound for you? Crickets, tjitjaks or frogs, the sound of a thousand sepeda motor, no turis, adoeh, Hello! buy sarong I hap menny colór, the waves rolling on the beach, sunset price, good for you, good for mie, Arabic chanting from the tower of a nearby...

Welcome to the forum Ilu! Missing Bali so much that it hurts. Feeling sad having to leave Bali. When you are in Bali, time flies. When you are in Norway, (waiting)time seems endless. When you are in Bali, Norway is seldom in your mind. When you are in Norway, Bali is always in your mind...

Bert, "Maybe Vishnus cleansing needs some refinement, besides the garbage, some people were "cleansed" as well" No, wrong. People's perception and interpretation of their surroundings needs refinement. E.g. animals can 'forsee' natural disasters and as a result they are able to get...

IN THE SEARCH FOR THE REAL BALI "Who can tell me where I can find the real Bali? Does it still exist? Where should I go to see it, what must I do to experience it?" Those of you who frequent the Bali travel forums of the Internet no doubt come across discussions on this subject...

Rules of the Road - No Rules. As a westerner you need to have an immortality pact with God when biking the roads of Bali kangin-kauh. If you are Balinese then an offering with Tumpek Landep should do the immortality job for you, as the Balinese erroneously believe that making offerings...

My question is, how/where do I find her? Q. Where do you find her? A. At the right place at the right time. It depends mainly on your karma. If you are supposed to find the woman of your dreams, you will. On the other hand, if you are supposed to find the woman of your nightmares, you will...

Looking for Magic? Magic It might surprise some of you, but I am not 'looking for it' either. The magic of Bali is not something you can buy tickets for, magic is not performed in theatres for the curious or for amusement. There are no scripts for it. No fixed times or fixed placs. It just...

Bali Magic, Bedtime Stories - Not! OM Swatysastu Bert wrote I just know that meditation, suggestion can have a powerful influence on that grey matter in our heads. Well, I know that meditation on Bali is very REAL and far from illusions and illusionists. I regularly visit the house of a...

I think it also depends on where you live in Bali. Like me, Bert lives in the North, an area which is notorious for the 'karaoke-cafe' phenomena. In the north of Bali, and especially in the Singaraja area, you will find many Javanese girls who mainly live in the 'kamar kos' and work in the...

ZUCHT....... ZUCHT...... "i have to add though that my sarcasm kicks in when i'm dealing with profoundly annoying people." Mhh... does that mean that people who e.g. point out contradictions in your remarks, or tell you that you missed the point, or that you did not read careful enough...

Sarcasm? Sorry, can't help it.... :roll: Driver said: "strange that you both thought i was being sarcastic. if you ever get to know me better you might find out i don't like sarcasms at all and try to avoid it as much as possible... " Driver remarked earlier: "i guess you're one of...

Obviously you need more help "i'm trying to figure out where you really stand since you won't tell us" Driver, I HAVE told where I stand, and I DO express my personal thoughts. Do you REALLY think that someone who repeatedly talks about 'pikirian suci, hati murni', who claims to live...
