Flower Shops

I got some chances to visit many flower shops thanks to the job, and I really love each of them :-) 

Unfortunately I didn't have much chance to take pictures: I had to run here and there, chasing with time to finish the abundant tasks on time. Oh well, at least I got some to share it here.. voilà!

Food Elaborate

Rich in taste, rich in look, colour and texture. Whenever you go around Bali, you'll find the Nasi Campur warungs just everywhere. Spicy, hearty, flavourful rice dishes with all sort condiments. Beware of addiction!

Where The Time Stands Still

Jembatan Baru, Sungai Batang Hari

Visited Jambi for the first time, I didn't have much time to see things I want to see. But in this very short visit, I could feel like I'm in different era, back in 70's. What a lovely feeling!

The Klungkung Market II

Not expecting much to see at first, but visiting Klungkung Market  this time taught me a little more about things.

 So I went to this  little shop in the corner, filled with assortment of fabrics; hand-woven and beautiful. There is Kain endek, Kain songket, and one new thing I've never heard before. Kain Bebali. I did a little research, and it turns out that kain bebali means all sort of textile that is made and used for ceremonial purposes. Kain means cloth, and bebali means ceremony. 

There I saw this pile of rich red fabric, woven with old indian patterns, and that is one example of kain bebali,  called Kain Cepuk. Made especially in Nusa Penida area, this kind of textile is used for the Panca Yadnya rituals, ( which includes the ceremonies to celebrate the circle of life - from the pregnancy till cremation ). Beautiful in all aspects:  in color, in pattern, and in meaning.
