The Original Balinese

Bali in Old times

We start with Bali in the old times. The history of Bali is the beginning of the life of Balinese in this island, we can find the evidence about the life style of the society even not in writing (since most of Balinese were illiterate) but mostly all remaining around this island showed the real life of Balinese in the old times

Based on the findings the social life of Balinese in the old times separated into:

• Period of hunting and collecting food at old style

• Period of hunting and collecting food at dynamic (better) period

• Period of planting and livestock

• Period of blacksmi

Bali, a tropical island in the Indonesian archipelago, is so picturesque and immaculate it could almost be a painted backdrop. It has rice paddies tripping down hillsides like giant steps, volcanoes soaring up through the clouds, dense tropical jungle, long sandy beaches, warm blue water, crashing surf and friendly people who don't just have a culture but actually live it. In Bali spirits come out to play in the moonlight, every night is a festival and even a funeral is an opportunity to have a good time.

Bali Island, the perfect holiday destination for all ages offers something for everyone. This tropical paradise has a unique blend of modern tourist facilities combined with wonderful shopping and a rich past and heritage. The Balinese people are proud of having preserved their unique Hindu culture against the advance of Islam, the dominant religion throughout Indonesia. This is still reflected in day to day life and can be seen in the numerous ceremonies, Balinese festivals and magnificent temples and palaces. Some of the best surfing beaches in the world can be found on the western side of the island whilst conversely the eastern side is a wonderful haven for families, with beautiful white sand beaches and gentle seas.
