Bali lies with Java to the west and Lombok to the east, in the heart of Indonesia.

It is renowned for its art forms, both diverse and sophisticated, and islanders love to partake in painting, sculpture, performing arts and wood crafts, to name but a few. Immerse yourself i the culture and learn some of the traditional ways to make pots and statues.
It is surrounded by coral reefs, and offer beautiful white sandy beaches to the south, while features black sand in the coastal areas at the north of the island. Bali is the most visitor friendly of all the Indonesian islands, offering a welcoming feel when you step off the plane. Try a massage on the beautiful beaches, or visit the vibrant and rich markets, whether you can grab fresh offerings of fruit and meats.
When eating, respect the local traditions. Rice is considered a gift from god, and anything not served with rice is considered a snack. The average spend by tourists on the island per day is one hundred US dollars, compared to that od a local that spend less than two dollars a day. Although tourism is contributing greatly to the economy on Bali, be aware of the amount of waste you are producing in leftovers and litter, as Bali produces one hundred and fifty tons of waste each day as a direct result of tourism.
