Bali dan Belanja Ke Sukawati

Ubud Driver — Sun, 23 Nov 2008 14:44:56 +0000

Bali adalah sebuah pulau / provinsi yang terletak di negara Indonesia. Bali juga di kenal di dunia internasional sebagai pulau pariwisata yang sering di kunjungi oleh para wisatawan dari mancanegara khususnya bagi, orang jepang, orang ustralia, orang Amerika dan Eropa . Selain itu Bali juga di kenal sebagai pulau DEWATA oleh para penduduk indonesia, dan Bali juga dikenal dengan culiner seperti Babi guling ibu agung di ubud, bebek bengil dengan masakanya yang khas, pantainya yang indah,water sport, trecking, snorkeling, diving, rafting, spa, massage, bali safari park, Pasar sukawati dengan harga yang relative murah untuk segala jenis produk untuk souvenir khas Bali, dan banyak lagi tempat yang sangat menarik dikunjungi. Populasi penduduk Bali saat ini diperkirakan sekitar 4 juta jiwa, mayoritas penduduk bali menganut agama Hindu sebesar 92,3% dan sisanya menganut agama lain. Nama SUKAWATI udah ga asing lage bagi mereka yg pernah maupun belum pernah ke Bali. Sukawati adalah sebuah kecamatan di Kab.Gianyar. Sukawati juga nama desa. Sebenarnya, warga asli Sukawati adalah jagonya pembuat topeng khususnya topeng barong dan rangda serta perajin wayang kulit. Tapi ketenarannya kalah oleh hebohnya pasar seni yg ada disana yaitu Pasar Sukawati. ada 2 pasar Sukawati, istilahnya Sukawati 1 (lama) dan Sukawati 2 (baru). Sebenarnya Sukawati 1 adalah pasar yg lama dan saya tulis di blog ini, sedangkan Sukawati 2 adalah Pasar Seni Guwang yg jaraknya cuman 5km dari Sukawati 1. Tapi harga di Guwang lebih mahal dari Sukawati. Barangnya sama, lebih komplit malahan di Sukawati lama. Orang yg punya kios juga sama. Terserah anda mau jalan kemana, yang penting belanja murah dan happy…..LIHAT, COBA, TAWAR, COCOK, BUNGKUSSSS…………..Pasar ini terletak sekitar 30km arah timur Denpasar (40 menit drive dari Kuta), dipinggir jalan raya Sukawati. Kalau dari arah Denpasar, pasar seni ada di kiri jalan dan pasar tradisional ada dikanan jalan. Gampang banget nyarinya. Disini ratusan pedagang seni berkumpul menjajakan barang2 seni, mulai dari patung kayu, lukisan, kaos, celana pendek, tas, sandal, dll. Motifnya unik dan khas Bali. Cukup puyeng juga seh kalo masuk kesini, rame banget. Tapi kalau buat yg suka shopping, Sukawati adalah surganya.Di Sukawati WAJIB MENAWAR. Para pedagang biasanya akan buka harga tinggi. Jangan pake ragu, langsung ajah tawar ke CEBAN alias IDR 10.000.- Mereka ga marah kok, namanya juga menawar. Nah nanti silahkan dilanjutkan negosiasinya. Naikin penawaran jangan kelewatan, cukup dari 10rb jadi 11rb, kemudian naik lage 12rb dstnya sampai tawaran anda mentok. Kalo ga dikasi..cabut ajah, paling dipanggil nantinya ama yg jualan. Kalau ga dipanggil lage artinya tawaran anda ga masuk itungan modal beli dia hehehe..Kalo ajah masuk dan mereka dapat profit walau hanya 1000 perak doang, yakin anda dipanggil kok. Belanja murah di Sukawati juga harus tetap memperhatikan kualitas barang. Mesti dicek bener kondisinya, jangan sampai ukurannya kekecilan dan tidak sesuai dengan yg terjahit dilabel, atau jahitannya jelek dan lepas. Bila perlu coba langsung disana, ga apa apa kok. Kalau sekedar buat oleh-oleh sih ga masalah. Cuman untuk dipakai sendiri, mendingan cari disekitar Kuta utk kaos-kaos, daster, atau celana pantai. Sandal manik-manik juga kualitasnya agak kurang bagus sih. Apalagi lukisannya, kualitasnya agak dibawah. Lebih baik cari lukisan di Batuan/Ubud, kualitasnya jauh. Secara umum, mode dan design yg ada di Sukawati kalah dibandingkan dengan Kuta, karena Kuta adalah pusatnya mode. Tentu saja harga juga beda Jangan Lupa kontak saya kalau mau cari mobil + sopir , cuman Rp 350.000/9-10jam belum termasuk BBM, Mobil Kijang 1999, tempat duduk 6.

Holland America Line and Regent Seven Seas Cruises in Bali ( Padang bay )

Ubud Driver — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 02:07:02 +0000

Bali is a tropical island that has been described as “heaven on earth,” for this tiny Hindu island is blessed with an ethereal beauty and infused with a sense of mysticism. The Hindu influence grew during the 14th century when the Majapahit Empire conquered the island, and introduced Hindu art and dance. This resulted in a specialized Hindu culture developing. Bali is the largest Hindu outpost outside of India and everyday life revolves around the religion.

My name is Wayan, I am Balinese and my job is Driver, I take visitor around to show them the beauty of paradise island Bali, I`m so happy every-time I have a job to drive somebody or a groups who rally want to know about Bali and show them what is Bali

I`m so happy when I have job experience to drive some Visitor from the Holland America line and the Regent Seven Seas Cruises when they are arrive in Bali ( Padang bay ) This is kind like my part of my experience because I must take them to show Bali with a little time because they must be go back to the Pier on time, Like when I drive Ms. Sheila Gan families on February 20, 2008, They are Visitor from the Holland America Line, I know them because of my friends Lennard Thal, he was introduce me to them. I have only 8 hours on that time to show them Bali, and I try, I don`t want to waste their time in Bali, I want them to see as much as they can see about Bali and finally I`m happy I can make them happy to see Bali.

Pasir Putih Beach ( PERASI ) On East Of Bali

Ubud Driver — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 01:32:27 +0000

Perasi, a small village near Amlapura, the capital city of Karangasem Regency has a secluded white-sand beach, unknown to the most of travelers to Bali. It is quite difficult to reach the entrance to this quiet beach, since there is no billboard or big sign to indicate the location of the beach, only a small easy-to-miss pointer attached to a post on a gap between the row of buildings; if you can not find this sign what you have to do is get to Perasi village and ask for White sand beach to a local inhabitants which will gladly show you the entrance way.
Finding the entrance road is not the end of the ordeals, next you have to experience long winding narrow road flanked by forest which lead you to a check point where you pay 2500 rupiah to enter the beach but you have to experience another km of heavily rutted dirt road among the coconut trees. It is best to use SUV or motorcycle to deal with this bumpy road, for you who drive a sedan or bus it is better to leave your car on the checkpoint. After conquering this heavily rutted dirt road you can park your car on the free spaces among the coconut trees near the beach. But I usually bring my car to the near the beach.
Yes, it is quite difficult to reach this beach but this Perasi white sand beach is worth every single ordeal you take, this beach is free of peddler and hawkers, only two or three small thatched roof food stall available, the atmosphere and condition will remind you of Kuta in early 70s. This beach is not a stretch of a long beach but rather a secluded beach flanked on both sides by hills and coconut tree plantation on the background.
Perasi White Sand Beach is a truly secluded beach, it is far from everywhere; there were some food stalls, as for toilet feel free to use the bushes around the beach. This beach is definitely not for travelers who expects good accommodation and facilities always in sight.
