In 2002, this place which has so often been described as
paradise on earth was hit by a furious act of violence: a bomb
which destroyed an entire street in Kuta.
Kuta was the site of the October 12, 2002 1st Bali bombing (202
killed) and the October 1, 2005 2nd Bali bombing (26 killed).
After the first Bali Bombing in 2002 at Kuta, a permanent
memorial was built on the site of the destroyed Paddy's Pub on
Legian Street. (A new bar, named "Paddy's: Reloaded", was reopened
further along Legian Street.) The memorial is made of intricately
carved stone, set with a large marble plaque, which bears the names
and nationalities of each of those killed. It is flanked by the
national flags of the victims. The monument is well-maintained and
illuminated at night.

The purple mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana), colloquially known
simply as mangosteen, is a tropical evergreen tree believed to have
originated in the Sunda Islands and the Moluccas of Indonesia.
Nevertheless, it also grows in tropical South American countries
such as Colombia, where the tree has been introduced. The tree
grows from 7 to 25 m (2080ft) tall. The fruit of the mangosteen is
sweet and tangy, juicy, and somewhat fibrous, with an inedible,
deep reddish-purple colored rind (exocarp) when ripe. In each
fruit, the fragrant edible flesh that surrounds each seed is
botanically endocarp, i.e., the inner layer of the
ovary.Mangosteen

The Balinese Provincial Government have taken the view that the
preservation of the Balinese culture, natural resources and
wildlife are of primary importance in the development of the
island. To this end they have limited tourist development to the
peninsula on the extreme southern aspect of the island; Kuta beach
is on the western side of this peninsula and Sanur is on the
east.
