Bali goes under many names. Some call it the ‘island of the gods’, others Shangri-La. The ‘last paradise’, the ‘dawning of the world’ and the ‘centre of the universe’ are yet more names for this truly beautiful tropical island inhabited by a remarkably artistic people who have created a dynamic society with unique arts and ceremonies.

Bali is small, just 140 Km by 80 Km and lies between Java, the most highly populated and influential of all the islands, and Lombok, one of the quieter and moderately slower paced islands. Like many islands, Bali has developed a world of its own. It not only captures what is special about Indonesia but also has a uniqueness of its own.

Daily life on Bali is culturally linked to satisfying and appeasing the gods, spirits and demons in the midst of breathtaking panoramas of cultivated rice terraces, impressive volcanoes and pristine beaches. Bali’s main volcano, Gunung Agung, is still active and sometimes explosive and is considered sacred among local people as it is believed to be the centre of the universe.

Lying just 8o south of the Equator, Bali can boast a tropical climate with just two seasons a year and an average temperature of around 28o Celsius. It has a whole range of different environments and activities for the tourist, many of which are covered in these homepages.

Economically and culturally, Bali is one of the most important islands of Indonesia. Rice is grown on irrigated, terraced hillsides; other crops include sugar cane, coffee, copra, tobacco, fruits and vegetables. Cattle and hogs are also raised. The Balinese are skilled artisans, particularly in woodcarving and in fashioning objects of tortoiseshell and of gold, silver and other metals. The Balinese are noted for their traditional dance, the distinctive music of the gamelan and for their skills in weaving cloth of gold and silver threads, Songket, as well as for embroidering silk and cotton clothing.

Bali is one provinces of the Republic of Indonesia, divided administratively between eight districts that take their names and boundaries from the island’s old Hindu kingdoms.

It is about Cowboys in Paradise, maybe this will become an afterthought for Bali. I realize in our lives will always be black and white, good and bad is always consistent because we as humans should be able to choose the best in accordance with what we expected in Bali ” Santhi, Santhi, Santhi ” is the best of our own, is the best for others, it is best for nature, let’s see now from the original Balinese, living in the village with my beloved family with customs, I am almost always  proud. As well as the harmony which is always a purpose in life
with my love of Bali, what I do is live with gratitude for all the gifts that have blessed us, in fact it is the prosperity of Bali for which we are grateful. Our people are always trying to make Bali  balanced.

But many people are littering the Bali nature with their ideas that are inconsistent with the concept that is Bali.
About Cowboys in Paradise, this is one part of Bali too, if it does not exist why is it there? People who have a part in this project might have an interest in Bali, whether it is good or bad. If they want to introduce such Bali Cowboys in Paradise, for me it is out of a lack of understanding of Balinese culture but I’m also sure many more of our friends know Bali is deeper. There are  those who feel the vibration of Bali’s soul and conscience which makes them more calm and balanced. They will feel that Bali is more sharply in his heart  not in the mind.  Bali is not a feeling for a moment.

” Inner peace of heaven is a peaceful soul, heaven of mind is a moment of satisfaction”
