You can also learn some local language like selamat pagi (good morning), tolong (please) and terima kasih (thank you).
Dressing Tip: Dress modestly before entering a temple in Bali. Temple guests are expected to wear shirts that cover shoulders and part of the upper arms. The waist and legs should be covered by a temple scarf (known as a selendang) and a sarong (known locally as kain kamben) respectively.
The Balinese Hinduism, called Agama Hindu Dharma, has originated in Java and is a combination of Buddhism and Shivaism. Besides Nepal, Bali is the only place outside of India with such a high number of Hindus.
There is a special vibe, an essence, something authentic that is difficult to describe. It has something to do with the people themselves and their warm and welcoming character, their openness, their amazing and loving spirit. You have to experience it to believe it. It is a truly magical place.
