The prospect of faster price gains may force the central bank to raise its policy rate to 6.75 percent in the coming months, he said.<br /><br />Bank Indonesia, which meets on March 4 to review its policy, has kept borrowing costs at a record low since August, following nine cuts that have helped Southeast Asia’s biggest economy avoid a recession. Faster inflation has prompted some Asian policy makers to start exiting monetary stimulus as the region leads the world out of its economic slump.<br /><br />Exports Surge<br /><br />In neighboring Malaysia, which will also hold a policy meeting on March 4, five out of 16 economists surveyed expect Governor Zeti Akhtar Aziz to raise the overnight rate to 2.25 percent from 2 percent after the government said last week the economy emerged from its recession in the fourth quarter.<br /><br />Indonesia’s exports, which account for about 29 percent of the country’s gross domestic product, rose 59 percent to $11.57 billion in January from a year earlier after gaining 49.8 percent in the previous month. That’s the biggest jump since at least December 1995, when Bloomberg data started.<br /><br />The Jakarta Composite index rose 0.4 percent at the 12 p.m. midday break in Jakarta. The rupiah rose 0.7 percent to 9,268 per dollar, the biggest gainer in Asia, according to Bloomberg data. The currency is the best performer in the region this year, excluding Japan.<br /><br />Imports rose 44.6 percent to $9.54 billion in January from a year earlier after gaining 33.4 percent in the previous month. That left a trade surplus of $2.03 billion.<br /><br />Indonesian consumer prices rose 0.3 percent in February from the previous month after gaining 0.84 percent in January.<br /><br />Palm oil for May delivery rose 1 percent to 2,624 ringgit ($774) a metric ton on the Malaysia Derivatives Exchange as of 10:23 a.m. Jakarta time today. Prices for the edible oil have risen 37 percent in the past year. The cost of rice, the staple for Indonesia’s 230 million people, rose 4 percent to 8,100 rupiah ($0.87 ) a kilogram in February from the end of December, according to data from PT Food Station Tjipinang Jaya, Indonesia’s biggest market for the grain.<br /><br />--With assistance from Michael Munoz in Hong Kong, Berni Moestafa and Yoga Rusmana in Jakarta.

The Nusa Dua peninsula on the southern tip is still growing as a tourist resort.<br /><br />Bali's culture is based on its unique form of Hinduism called "<span style="font-weight: bold;">Hindu Darma</span>" which has been retained after the Islamization of Java, since then developed through the centuries. Though the caste system is observed, it is notas rigid as in India. Religion is the source of traditional customs in family and community life. Its influence is also strongly felt in the arts. With a completely different lifestyle from the rest of Indonesia, the Balinese have managed to preserve their culture despite the overwhelming foreign influences brought by the increasing number of visitors.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Bali's </span>"rajas" and princes were deprived of their kingdoms by the colonial government in the early part of this century, but many of them still own their palaces and are respected as patrons of the arts. The classical dance drama is based on the old Hindu epics of the Ramayana and the Mahabarata, or on local folklore (such as Barong dance).<br /><br />The island of Bali is mountainous in the center with a cluster of volcanoes of which one is the active Mount Agung and considered sacred. Terraced rice-fields dominate the landscape, with small streams bringing water for irrigation.<br /><br />The attraction of Bali is its unique art and culture. It almost seems that every person is an artist in some form, whether it is painting, weaving, carving, basketry, etc., or even in decorations which are done at many shrines in public areas, on roads, paddy fields or in homes. Villagers spend their free time in these arts which are taught from a very young age.<br /><br />The soul of the Balinese is in his religion, so it finds its expression in the arts.<br /><br />A friendly people, the Balinese who are more exposed to international tourists, generally speak more English than people in other parts of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Indonesia.</span> Keeping pace with the number of visitors and the need for their accommodation, more hotels have been built, from small bungalow types for the budget traveler to the luxurious Nusa Dua tourist resort area. Water sports have gained in popularity : surfing on Kuta, wind surfing at Sanur, sailing and scuba diving at several other tourist parts.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">PLACES OF INTEREST</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Denpasar</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">- Bali Indonesia</span><br /><br />The capital city of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Bali, Denpasar</span> has many community temples called "Pura". One is the Museum called Pura jagatnatha which is dedicated to the Supreme God, Sang Hyang Widi Wasa. The statue of a turtle and two dragons (prevalent in all temples) signify the foundation of the world.<br /><br />The Museum offers a fine variety of prehistoric and modern art, whereas its architectural design resembles that of a palace. The government supervised "<span style="font-weight: bold;">Sanggraha Kriya Asta</span>" has a wide variety of handicraft and works of art. The "Werdi Budaya" presents a yearly art festival between June and July, with performances, exhibitions, art contest and so on.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sanur - Bali Indonesia</span><br /><br />Sanur beach has long been a popular recreation site for people from <span style="font-weight: bold;">Denpasar.</span> The palm-lined beach curves from the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Bali Beach Hotel</span> toward the south, facing the I<span style="font-weight: bold;">ndian Ocean </span>towards the east. Sanur offers many good hotels, restaurants, shops and other tourist facilities. It is only a short distance from Denpasar. Public transportation to and from the city are easily available until well into the night. Offshore reefs protect the beach against the waves to make it popular for wind surfing, boating and other water sports.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Kuta</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">- Bali Indonesia</span><br /><br />Once a lonely village on the road from <span style="font-weight: bold;">Denpasar </span>toward the Bukit Peninsula, Kuta is now a thriving tourist resort, popular mainly among the young. It is a beach for surfing although currents make it less suitable for swimming. Coast guards, however, are on constant duty during the day. Kuta faces toward the west offering beautiful sunsets.<br /><br />Accommodation ranges from international hotels to home stays. The village abounds with restaurants, shops, discotheques and other tourist facilities. It is easier to find regular performances of Balinese music and dance in Kuta, staged specially for tourists, than anywhere else in Bali. Some performances are staged nightly. The village is ideal for meeting and mixing with other people, locals as well as visitors from abroad.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Nusa Dua</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">- Bali Indonesia</span><br /><br />The Nusa Dua tourist resort is part of the Bukit Peninsula in southern Bali. Some of the most beautiful and luxurious hotels are found here. The resort is known for its clean white beaches and clear waters. The surf is gentle along the northern side of the peninsula, bigger along the south. The most convenient form of transportation to and from Nusa Dua is by taxi.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Batubulan</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">- Bali Indonesia</span><br /><br />Driving northeast from Denpasar, stone figures on the roadside mark the village of Batubulan. Divinities and demons are carved from sandstone for ornaments of houses and temples. Workshops can be visited to watch artists at work.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Batuan</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">- Bali Indonesia</span><br /><br />An old and famous center of the arts, it is now known for its dancing, wood panel carving and paintings.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Celuk</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">- Bali Indonesia</span><br /><br />Northeast of Denpasar, the village of Celuk is noted for its silver and gold works of jewelry in various styles.<br /><br />Mas<br /><br />The village of woodcarvers, many of Bali's old masters still live here. Art galleries exhibit some of their best works. Visitors can wander through the Balinese style houses to view the carved wooden pillars and the artists at work or instructing apprentices who work in groups.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ubud</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">- Bali Indonesia</span><br /><br />The center of Balinese painting, Ubud's Museum "Puri Lukisan" has a permanent collection of modern works of Balinese art dating from the turn of the century. There are also several art galleries and homes of famous artists here, including that of Dutch-born Hans Snel and the American Antonio Blanco. The "young artist" style now popular in Balinese painting was introduced by the Dutch painter Arie Smith. In the past, other foreign painters inspired Balinese artists to adopt western techniques but traditional Balinese paintings are still made and sold. Another museum called "Neka Museum" has a wide collection of paintings both by Indonesian as well as foreign artists who used to live in Bali.<br /><br />Ubud has several small hotels. Located on a higher altitude with a pleasant climate.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Peliatan</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">- Bali Indonesia</span><br /><br />Peliatan is located between Ubud and Mas. It has been known as the center of traditional music, and dances. The fine art of local woodcarvers started a new style of wood carving producing such things as fruits, flowers and trees in their real shapes and colorings.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Goa Gajah</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">- Bali Indonesia</span><br /><br />Goa Gajah, dates back to the 11 Th. century and is believed to have been built as a monastery. Carvings on the wall show a demon's head over the entrance, flanked by two statues. The cave contains a statue of Ganesha. Escavations have uncovered a bathing place with six statues of nymphs holding water- spouts.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tampaksiring</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">- Bali Indonesia</span><br /><br />The temple of Pura Tirta Empul is built around the sacred spring at Tampaksiring. Over 1000 years old, the temple and its two bathing places have been used by the people for good health and prosperity because of the spring water's curative powers. Regular ceremonies are held for purification. Specialties of the area are bone and ivory carvings, and seashell ornaments.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Kintamani</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">- Bali Indonesia</span><br /><br />The villages of Kintamani and Penelokan give a view of the active Mount Batur and Lake. The caldera of Batur is impressive: 7 miles in diameter and 60 feet deep. From Penelokan, a road leads to Kedisan on the shores of the lake where boats can be hired to cross over to Trunyan. This ancient village is inhabited by people who call themselves "Bali Aga" or original Balinese who have maintained many of their old ways. The Puser Jagat temple has an unusual architecture and stands under a massive Banyan tree.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Bangli</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">- Bali Indonesia</span><br /><br />Pura Kehen is situated in Bangli, Bali's second largest temple. Three terraced courtyards are connected by steps, and their balustrades are decorated with carvings and statues. A large Banyan tree with a tower shades the lowest and second courtyard, while in the third courtyard several shrines for the gods and ancestors are found.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Klungkung</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">- Bali Indonesia</span><br /><br />The former seat of the Javanese Hindu Kingdom in Bali from where Balinese royalty draws its blood line, Klungkung was the oldest kingdom on the island and its "Raja" the most exalted. The Kerta Gosa or Royal Court of justice built in the 18th century, is specially known for its ceiling murals painted in the traditional wayang style, portraying punishment in hell and the rewards in heaven and other aspects of moralities. The floating pavilion, garden and lotus ponds in this walled-in complex, located on the main intersection of town are a reminder of the former glory of this kingdom.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Goa Lawah</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">- Bali Indonesia</span><br /><br />Nine km from Klungkung is Goa Lawah or bat cave. The roof is covered with thousands of bats and its entrance is guarded by a temple believed to be founded by a sage nine centuries ago.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Besakih</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">- Bali Indonesia</span><br /><br />Known as the "Mother Temple of Bali", the sanctuary of Besakih on the slopes of Mt. Agung is the biggest and holiest of all Balinese temples. Over a thousand years old, steps ascend through split gates to the main courtyard where the Trinity shrines are wrapped in cloth and decorated with flower offerings.<br /><br />Around the three main temples dedicated to the Trinity: Shiva, Brahma and Vishnu, are 18 separate sanctuaries belonging to different regencies and caste groups.<br /><br />To the Balinese, a visit to the temples sanctuaries is a special pilgrimage. Each has its own anniversary celebration or "Odalan". The sight of the temple against the background of the mountain is impressive and during festivals, colored banners add a touch of gaiety.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Menjangan Island</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">- Bali Indonesia</span><br /><br />This little island off Bali's west coast is known for its beautiful coral reefs found nearby and the wealth of tropical fish inhabiting the waters around it.<br /><br />The island itself including Terima Bay, are by themselves worth a visit because of the beautiful sceneries they offer.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sangeh</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">- Bali Indonesia</span><br /><br />Ten hectares of nutmeg trees in the Sangeh forest abounds with monkeys. The forest is considered sacred, so no wood is allowed to be chopped here. Two temples stand in the middle of the forest and another at the edge. As they live in this sacred forest, the monkeys are also held sacred and are rather tame, but it is advisable not to play with them.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Lot Tanah</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">- Bali Indonesia</span><br /><br />One of Bali's most important sea temples, Tanah Lot is built a top a huge rock which is surrounded by the sea. Built by one of the last priests to come to Bali from Java in the 16th century, its rituals include the paying of homage to the guardian spirits of the sea. Poisonous sea snakes found at the base of the rocky island are believed to guard the temple from evil spirits and intruder.<br /><br />The best time to see Tanah Lot is in the late afternoon when the temple is in silhouette.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Bedugul</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">- Bali Indonesia</span><br /><br />The mountain resort of Bedugul, 18 km north of Denpasar, is known for its excellent golf course. Located besides Lake Bratan, it is surrounded by forested hills. A beautiful sight is the "Ulun Danu" temple which seems to rise out of the lake. The area offers good-walks. Boats are available for hire. Water skiing, and parasailing is done as well.<br /><br />The <span style="font-weight: bold;">Bali Handara</span> country club has bungalows for rent and a restaurant.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Temple</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">- Bali Indonesia</span><br /><br />The most important institutions in Bali, temples reflect the important role religion plays in the life of the Balinese. A temple is a place for communicating with the divine spirits through offerings and prayers. On holy days, when the deities and ancestral spirits descend from heaven to visit earth, the temples become centers of activity.<br /><br />Temple festivals are guided by purification of the sprinkling of holy water. Whole communities take part in these festivals, bringing baskets of food and flowers for offerings. While pura means temple, a puri is the residence of the local prince, which may function as a cultural center.<br /><br />Music, dances, food, flowers, and fruits sacrificed began as part of temple rituals to please the gods and to placate evil spirit. Following the caste system of Hindu and some of its other rites and beliefs like reincarnation, one of the greatest ceremonies are cremations, meant to liberate the souls ready for rebirth. Burial is only temporary to give the family time to prepare or wait for others to arrange for a common cremation within the community.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tenganan</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">- Bali Indonesia</span><br /><br />Protected for centuries from the outside world by its surrounding walls, the village of Tenganan has maintained its ancient pre-Hindu customs through a strong code of non-fraternization with outsiders. Here unique rituals offering dances and gladiator-like battles between youths take place. Tenganan is famous for its "double ikat" woven material called gringseng, which is supposed to protect the wearer by magic powers.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Yeh Saneh</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">- Bali Indonesia</span><br /><br />A little further east on the coastal road is Yeh Saneh, an idyllic spot few people know of. Only a few meters from the splash of the surf is a cool freshwater spring, around which has been built a large pool and gardens for bathers and picnickers.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Art Center</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">- Bali Indonesia</span><br /><br />The Werdhi Budaya Art Center was started in 1973 and finished in 1976: the largest and most complete in a series of cultural centers built throughout the archipelago by the Indonesian Government over the last decade.<br /><br />Designed by <span style="font-weight: bold;">Bali'</span>s foremost architect, Ida Bagus Tugur, (also architect for Indonesia's new National Art Gallery) the vast complex is, apart from its very real cultural function, a showplace for Balinese Temple and Palace Architecture at its most opulent. The open stage Arda Candra with its towering candi gate and the almost rococo main Art Museum, a sprawling park, Balinese pavilions and follies, have become a regular architectural attraction. Built on one of the few remaining coconut groves in central Denpasar, the center has quickly become a busy forum for the performing and fine arts. With three Art Galleries and a host of stages, the Center is only rivaled by Jakarta's Taman Ismail Marzuki as a venue for diverse and rapidly changing cultural programs. Since 1975 the Center has been home to the island's Dance Academy (ASTI), a tertiary level Conservatorium, Dance and Drama School for traditional Balinese Performing arts. With the island's Art School situated next door, the center's seminar halls and exhibition space are devoted to the encouragement and education of local art students.</div>Muhammad Alwi CHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18219760467062001869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2142187389955890747.post-54767609655524376382010-02-26T04:34:00.000-08:002010-02-26T05:16:09.468-08:00Airport (Ngurah Rai) Denpasar - Bali Indonesia<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Ngurah Rai International Airport (IATA: DPS, ICAO: WADD), also known as Denpasar International Airport, is located in southern Bali, 13 km south of Denpasar.

You can see it on this Asia map. On the map above, select any region of Bali (North, East, Central, South, or West) where you want to go to, and we'll take you there. Physically, however, we have a slight problem.</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><br />But no worry. Simply choose your preferred mode of transport. Or you might prefer to read some general information about Bali before you disembark, and find out what the tropical weather of Bali is like. After which, a photographic montage of Bali will delight your eyes. And these places of interest will surely be enough of an invitation (there is even a one-page summary of these places that you can print and take along with you...).<br /><br />One thing to remember about Bali is that the island is not too big - about 100 miles from North to South, and 175 miles from West to East. You can start after breakfast from your hotel in Nusa Dua, which is practically the southern most point of the island, drive up North, and have lunch in Singaraja, which is the northern most point of the island. Or you can drive around the perimeter of the island, starting from your hotel in the morning, and might even make it back before supper. And that's doing it leisurely.</div>Muhammad Alwi CHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18219760467062001869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2142187389955890747.post-38746367471964652232010-02-25T12:19:00.001-08:002010-02-25T13:20:58.396-08:00Indonesia Bali travel<div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhstIOvAoQKWi_GWM4JtL3_f7K_snjAyHAX2h0wrPDX_PG8acvZ0u6r7StxYpnsZFmDZFrenL2usFzXuOxiZfNcX4zhBTY1ax6BcyJ73_NrncCF2jM9VEx2eU1WaGuDq98Tcb52b_oI-pA/s1600-h/bali-indonesia-travel-01.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhstIOvAoQKWi_GWM4JtL3_f7K_snjAyHAX2h0wrPDX_PG8acvZ0u6r7StxYpnsZFmDZFrenL2usFzXuOxiZfNcX4zhBTY1ax6BcyJ73_NrncCF2jM9VEx2eU1WaGuDq98Tcb52b_oI-pA/s320/bali-indonesia-travel-01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442288893630163506" border="0" /></a><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);" id="result_box" class="long_text"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" title="Bali adalah nama salah satu provinsi di Indonesia, dan juga merupakan nama pulau terbesar yang menjadi bagian dari provinsi tersebut.">Bali is the name of one of the provinces in Indonesia, and also the name of the largest island which is part of the province. </span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" title="Selain terdiri dari Pulau Bali, wilayah Provinsi Bali juga terdiri dari pulau-pulau yang lebih kecil di sekitarnya, yaitu Pulau Nusa Penida, Pulau Nusa Lembongan, Pulau Nusa Ceningan, dan Pulau Serangan.">In addition to comprising the island of Bali, Bali Province region also consists of the islands smaller surrounding islands of Nusa Penida, Pulau Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Island Ceningan, and attack the island.</span></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><br /><span id="result_box" class="long_text"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" title="Selain terdiri dari Pulau Bali, wilayah Provinsi Bali juga terdiri dari pulau-pulau yang lebih kecil di sekitarnya, yaitu Pulau Nusa Penida, Pulau Nusa Lembongan, Pulau Nusa Ceningan, dan Pulau Serangan."></span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" title="Bali terletak di antara Pulau Jawa dan Pulau Lombok.">Bali lies between Java and Lombok Island. </span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" title="Ibukota provinsinya ialah Denpasar, yang terletak di bagian selatan pulau ini.">Denpasar is the capital of his province, which is located in the south of the island. </span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" title="Mayoritas penduduk Bali adalah pemeluk agama Hindu.">The majority of Balinese are Hindu. </span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" title="Di dunia, Bali terkenal sebagai tujuan pariwisata dengan keunikan berbagai hasil seni-budayanya, khususnya bagi para wisatawan Jepang dan Australia.">In the world famous Bali as a tourist destination with a unique variety of art-culture results, especially for the Japanese and Australian tourists. </span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" title="Bali juga dikenal dengan sebutan Pulau Dewata dan Pulau Seribu Pura.">Bali is also known as Island of the Gods and the Pulau Seribu Pura.</span></span></div>Muhammad Alwi CHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18219760467062001869noreply@blogger.com
