Bali Sanur Culture
The Balinese have been more exposed to international tourists and generally speak more english than people in other parts of the Indonesian archipelago. They have managed to preserve their culture despite overwhelming foreign influences brought to the region by an ever increasing number of tourists.
Bali is the Hawaii of the East. Of the four million tourists who came to Indonesia in 1994, more than 750,000 flew straight to Bali. The number of foreign and domestic tourists arriving in Bali is now approaching 1.5 million a year. The growth in visitors, which stands at about 10% per year, is expected to continue through the late 1990s. Bali already has a full half of all the hotels in Indonesia.
Bali makes a valuable study in the effects of mass tourism on the social and cultural patterns of an indigenous population. Every generation of visitors arrives to “discover” Bali, pronounce it a paradise, and then once home mourns that it’s lost forever. Visitors are so enthralled with the legend surrounding Bali; many arrive thinking that Indonesia is a part of Bali rather than the other way round.
Bali's wide variety of attractions, the physical beauty of the island, and the year-round pleasant climate make Bali a place regarded by many visitors as the "Ultimate Island".
One of the most favorit pleace in Bali is Sanur. It’s located in southern of Bali. Sanur is popular because of the beaches. There are about five beaches in Sanur, suc as Sanur Beach, Matahari Terbit Beach, Segara Beach, Sindu Beach, Karang Beach, Semawang Beach, Hyatt Beach. In there, you also find a hundred restaurant that you can choose whatever you want. But, I think the interested restaurant in Sanur is Melanie Restaurant. Its located in Jalan Tamblingan nomor 174 Sanur. I said Melanie Rest is unique because there is a giant Buddha’s head in front of the restaurant. Its make it different with the other restaurant in Sanur. The foods and beverage also delicious. You also can play pool in there. Don’t worry about the price, in Melanie Restaurant is cheap than the other. So, if you interested just visit The Melanie Restaurant and call Mr. Agung Pujawan on line 08123804446
The friendly people and the absence of any serious criminal activities guarantee visitors a totally relaxing stay
The Island of Bali is part of the Republic of. The island is famous for its beautiful landscape. A chain of six volcanoes, between 1,350 meters and 3,014 meters high, stretches from west to east. Gunung Agung known as the ‘Mother Mountain’ is over 3000 meters. There are lush tropical forests, pristine crater lakes, fast flowing rivers and deep ravines, picturesque rice terraces, and fertile vegetable and fruit gardens.The south beaches consist of white sand; other parts of the island, beach are covered with gray or black volcanic sand.
The idea of balance is central to Balinese philosophy and way of life. Nature and Man meet and complement each other. The basic Balinese territorial unit is ‘desa’ (village), whose surface covers both the wet land of the rice fields, and the dry land of the compounds and related gardens, temples and roads. To the wet land, correspond the irrigation units or ’subak’, and to the dry and inhabited land, the community wards or ‘banjar’, each with their temples and organizations.
Ninety percent of Bali’s population is rural, living in hundreds of hamlets and villages all over the island। Traditionally, the social organization of the island is based on the village, each completely self-sufficient, providing for all the needs and functions of the individual from birth through cremation. Not just a collection of family compounds, the rural community was and is a whole series of interlocking corporations, a living organism, a microcosm of the cosmic order.

Bali also has Nyepi, The major festival of the sake year is New Year Nyepi, at the end of March or beginning of April the major purification ritual of the year. The days before Nyepi are full of activity - religious objects are taken in procession from temples to sacred springs or to the sea for purification. Sacrifices are made and displayed at crossroads where evil spirits are thought to linger, to lure them into the open. The night before Nyepi, the spirits are frightened away with drums, gongs, cymbals, firecrackers and huge paper-made monsters. On the day itself, everyone sits quietly at home to persuade any remaining evil spirits that Bali is completely deserted.
