| Goa Gajah, The Elephant Cave - Part 2 |
| 2008-01-11 01:03:25 |
In the center of it all emerges the enormous, monstrous face which ever since the early 1920 has intrigued visitors, and which still leaves us with many questions. It most probably is a witcha well known feature in Balinese thought-for the ear ornaments are a woman’s. The head defi- nitely recalls the witch Rangda’s mask from Balinese theater. It has changed places with the kala-heads, well known from ancient Javanese monuments, where they are usually taken to be entrance protectors, looking fearful and clawing with pointed nails.

| Goa Gajah The Elephant Cave -Part1 |
| 2008-01-11 00:34:40 |
The name Elephant Cave” perhaps originated with early visitors, mistakenly interpreting the monster”™s head as an elephant, or from villagers with the same misunderstanding. There may also be a (much order) connection with gajah.A Balinese place name Lwa Gajah, “œElephant Water,” is in fact mentioned in the 1365 Nagarakertagama as the seat of high Buddhist official. Since it occurs immediately after Badahulu (nearby Bedulu)this Lwa Gajah, named for some reason unknown to us, may very well have later given its name to the cave.After his first visit to the site, Nieuwenkamp rightly had doubts about the head above the cave being an elephant”™s. Its face was badly damaged (hence the earlier reference to a ...

| Flaw within the Tourism |
| 2008-01-06 20:14:38 |
The development of the tourism industry in Bali is getting better after having crisis due to the first and the second Bali bomb blast. But the flaw within the tourism itself has occured and still occur before and after the bomb blast. It happens towards the tourists (domestic, foreign, and local tourists). They usually get unfair treatment.This is the flaw within the tourism:From the price view point the tourist, especially the foreigners are given a very high price. The art shops could inflate the price from 100% up to 400%. Wow! Maybe it will be fine for the rich tourists but not all of the tourists can accept that condition. It would be more reasonable to give normal price because it will give pleasure and comfort for them who are going to do shopping....

The Wrap of 2007!Bali is going through an amazing culinary journey. Not that many years ago the food offerings in Bali were mostly devoid of taste and value, both locals and foreigners operating restaurants that they believed presented cuisines of the world. Only one thing was missing, and that was the professional knowledge that can only come by experience, having been trained at the highest level.The Bali of today boasts of many top-flight chefs. As many as can often be found in cities four times its size. Most, of course, work in the ever-increasing number of 5 star and boutique hotels and luxury villa complexes that seem to be opening almost monthly, all over the island. Others are finding their own style of peace in Bali, opening restaurants of their own, at both ends of the scale, cl...

| 12 lessons learned from a life on the road |
| 2007-12-25 23:27:34 |
Traveling is hard work. Here's how to make the best of itRule No. 1: Travel is no funReally. If you think it’s all about smiling stewardesses attending to your every whim, friendly hotels offering fawning service, and romantic sunsets on the beach, it’s time for a reality check.Your stewardess will probably stop smiling when you refer to her as one, because no one calls a flight attendant a stewardess and gets away with it today. Your hotel? They’ll be pleasant until you check out. The moment you complain about that surprise $20-a-day resort fee or the $5 charge for receiving a fax, then the grin on the manager’s face will tighten into a grimace of icy resolve. You’ll hear insincere apologies, but you will probably still pay.And the sunsets on the beach? Last time I went to the b...

What’s the worst thing that can happen when you’re traveling?A traffic accident? Terrorist hijacking? Hotel fire?Travel is risky, of course.

Things you should anticipate.Here are the five worst, along with my suggestions for sidestepping them:1.

| 5 things travelers aren’t grateful for |
| 2007-12-25 22:57:35 |
Air travel is affordable. The nation’s roads have never been safer. And hotels offer more amenities than ever.Given all that, you would think travelers would be a grateful lot.They aren’t.Check out the latest customer surveys, and it’s clear that people are profoundly ungrateful when it comes to their travels. They give the airline industry worse grades than the Internal Revenue Service, they complain about traffic, and they gripe about high room rates.So at a time of the year when everyone else seems to be giving thanks, the contrarian in me wonders: What are we not thankful about?Inconsiderate travelersThey cut in line. They talk loudly on their cell phones. They travel with bratty children in tow. Where do these rude passengers come from? “Th...

| 10 Ways To Avoid Air Travel Inconvenience |
| 2007-12-25 22:24:20 |
This has been the worst year ever in the United States for flight delays and cancellations. Planes are full, making it difficult to find a seat on another flight should your flight experience problems. Here are some tips from Airfarewatchdog.com to help you avoid inconvenience when you're traveling.Avoid connecting flights altogether: They are the flyer's worst enemy. Yes, airlines often charge more for nonstops, but it's worth the extra money.Build longer layovers: If there is no nonstop flight, then build extra time into your itinerary for the connection. Don't take the connecting flight that gives you just 45 minutes to change planes at a busy airport; instead, ask for a two to four-hour layover to make the connection. You may not be able to do this onl...
