Action of Bali Art Festival

Here, some pics from Bali Art Festival. The pics were taken from here and here.

Bali Art Festival

Today, Bali Art Festival is opening! The ceremony was attended by Indonesia President, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, by hit kul-kul, a Balinese traditional instrument. This festival is the 30 times since it was held. This year it was held on Denpasar, in Renon region for exact place, with theme "Citta Wretti Nirodha" (control yourself to reach balance and harmony).

On his speech, President ask the citizen and local government to promote Bali using this festival. Well, since Bali is quite famous, I think it's not hard for local government to attract more tourists to visit Bali.

There are many attractions during festival. From some information, there are about 22 region from Indonesia will participate on this festival.

Hope the festival succeeded, both on the implementation or promoting Bali to attract tourists.

Butterfly Garden

For almost a year, I didn't post an article here. From today, I hope I can post regularly. Here is a new article.

Butterfly garden is located in Banjar Sandan, Wanasari, or about 6 km from Tabanan (to the north). Hundreds of butterflies, which are grouped into 15 categories, were collected from every area in Indonesia. The butterflies is protected since they are quite rare, such as Troides Helena and Ornithoptera Priamus.

The enviroment was designed naturally so those butterflies will feel comfortable and can do profilerate. Many flowers, especially which become butterflies' favourite, were planted and maintained, so the butterflies don't need to worry about food.

This garden was covered by net to protect the butterflies from predators.

The flabbergast thing from the garden with 35 acre is the tourists from abroad more interest to visit the garden than domestic tourist. The best time to visiting the garden is before 10.00 on local time, so we can see the hundred butterflies take food from flowers.

IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL...!!!
