Goa Gajah The Elephant Cave -Part1 2008-01-11 00:32:00 The name Elephant Cave”� perhaps originated with early visitors, mistakenly interpreting the monster”™s head as an elephant, or from villagers with the same misunderstanding. There may also be a (much order) connection with gajah.A Balinese place name Lwa Gajah, “œElephant Water,”� is in fact mentioned in the 1365 Nagarakertagama as the seat of high Buddhist official. Since it occurs immediately after Badahulu (nearby Bedulu)this Lwa Gajah, named for some reason unknown to us, may very well have later given its name to the cave.After his first visit to the site, Nieuwenkamp rightly had doubts about the head above the cave being an elephant”™s. Its face was badly damaged (hence the earlier reference to a “œmouth”�). There was no sign of a trunk. Neither the ears nor the ear ornament suggested an elephant (or could the big eyes, of which only the right remains, give that idea!).For some time the question remained unanswered, but a clearing of the rock”™s surfac ...

Tourism is The Commander; Sound from Behind of Bali Shimmer 2008-01-11 00:14:00 By IBM. Dharma PalgunaTourism is commander. That is what people said, not us. We listen what people said then we imitating. If we want to honest, Bali is leading to The Commander inauguration. And we proud of it, cause we have been desperately waiting a leader figure for along time. Without a leader in our life, we are like an orchestra without conductor. Our music life is no other that chaos it self. The tourism commander, we hope could lead us out of this multidimensional crisis. september_petani.jpgAnd for that purpose, we are all ready to sacrifice more for the commander.

Flaw within the Tourism 2008-01-06 20:12:00 The development of the tourism industry in Bali is getting better after having crisis due to the first and the second Bali bomb blast. But the flaw within the tourism itself has occured and still occur before and after the bomb blast. It happens towards the tourists (domestic, foreign, and local tourists). They usually get unfair treatment.This is the flaw within the tourism:From the price view point the tourist, especially the foreigners are given a very high price. The art shops could inflate the price from 100% up to 400%. Wow! Maybe it will be fine for the rich tourists but not all of the tourists can accept that condition. It would be more reasonable to give normal price because it will give pleasure and comfort for them who are going to do shopping.From the service point of view, the domestic and local tourists usually get less quality of services even though they pay the same price for it as the foreign tourists. However, it shows that there is customers’ segregation between t ...

2007 End of Year Wrap 2008-01-03 18:34:00 The Wrap of 2007!Bali is going through an amazing culinary journey. Not that many years ago the food offerings in Bali were mostly devoid of taste and value, both locals and foreigners operating restaurants that they believed presented cuisines of the world. Only one thing was missing, and that was the professional knowledge that can only come by experience, having been trained at the highest level.The Bali of today boasts of many top-flight chefs. As many as can often be found in cities four times its size. Most, of course, work in the ever-increasing number of 5 star and boutique hotels and luxury villa complexes that seem to be opening almost monthly, all over the island. Others are finding their own style of peace in Bali, opening restaurants of their own, at both ends of the scale, classic dining down to great value mid range dining. As important is the ever increasing number of experienced restaurateurs who are arriving, to drive the revolution!The BaliEats web site [www.balieats ...
