Around Bali
Bali, the fabled "Island of the Gods", has been enchanting visitors for
centuries with its rich cultural traditions and spectacular panoramas. From
lofty, misty enshrouded volcanoes and cool mountain lakes down through
terraced rice fields to a golden strand lapped by azure waters, every square
inch of Bali offers a fresh and unforgettable image.
No less enchanting is its people, some 2.7 million souls whose artistry
and piety are recognized throughout the world. Balinese Hinduism, a complex
fusion of Indian cosmology, Tantric Buddhism and homegrown mythology, is
the primary faith of Bali's inhabitants, and so deeply woven into the fabric of
their daily lives that the line between the spiritual and the material is blurry at
best.
The shoppers among you will find Bali a treasure house of handicrafts
and fine works of art. The Balinese are incredibly gifted artists and craftsmen,
and their material creations are imbued with the same sense of wonderment
with which they regard their universe.
Stone and wood carvings, traditional and modern paintings and
intricately designed jewelry in gold and silver are readily available in shops
and galleries throughout the island.
As for recreation, there is no shortage of options. Nature walks,
horseback riding, diving, surfing, bungee jumping and white water rafting
await the adventurous here.

The Lion also assured that he would talk to the lioness and solve the whole matter.
The
jackal was intelligent and understood the situation. He said to the lion, Dear friend, I
know
you are sincere, but our families could not exactly respond the same level of
friendship. So,
let us stay apart and meet often as friends. We could also hunt together. It would be
better,
if our families stay apart. The Lion agreed to the proposal with a heavy heart.
The two families parted from each other as friends. The Jackal and the Lion continued
to share the friendship. They often met each other and hunt together. Thus, the two
friends
shared a healthy friendship throughout their life.
