A Bali sunset and Tanah Lot Temple

Although put at the service of religion, Balinese art does not solely serve religion. Sacred symbols decorate speeding bemo, jackets, menus, motorcycles, hotel doorways. Their use in such ordinary earthly objects is not looked upon as sacrilege

The Balinese seem to make an art out of even the simple

necessities of everyday

life: fruit salad is

served with flowers

strewn on top, and coils of pigs'

intestines are used on temple

decorations

Since the start of the 20th century, the Balinese have

never allowed artistic knowledge

to become centralized in a

special intellectual class. Everyone

down to the simplest peasant can be both an

artist and an aesthetically

conscious art critic. A field-laborer might

chide a clumsy instrument maker for a job poorly done, and even young dagang

(foodstall sellers) from humble

families are skilled practitioners of Bali's classical

dances

Cooking lesson

Meduwe Karang temple

The first price is not the last price in Bali. Learn the art of bargaining unless you are purchasing in a hotel shop or department store. Always ask for the best price and remember that your initial offer to counter the vendors rate should be lower than the price you want to pay.There is no such thing as a "right price".

Never use your left hand when giving or receiving objects, which is considered taboo; do not beckon people with your finger which is very rude

Hands on hips is a sign of superiority or anger.

Blowing your nose in public is likely to gross everyone out within hearing distance
