Bali Barong Dance

admin — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 10:58:02 +0000

Dance is an integral part of Balinese culture. Balinese dances are famous all over the world and the Balinese themselves take them very seriously. Birthdays, weddings, and temples festivals are all occasions for dramatic performances and dance is inextricably linked with the Balinese religion. The commercial performances for tourists that are today offered on a daily basis in several places of Bali, of course, not have the same religious significance and atmosphere of a dance that is performed at a real temple festival.

Bali Barong Dance is probably the most well known dance. It is also another story telling dance, narrating the fight between good and evil. This Barong Dance is the classic example of Balinese way of acting out mythology, resulting in myth and history being blended into one reality.

The story goes that Rangda sometimes called Calonarang, the mother of Erlangga, the King of Bali in the tenth century, was condemned by Erlangga’s father because she practiced black magic. After she became a widow, she summoned all the evil spirits in the jungle, the leaks and the demons, to come after Erlangga and turns into a terrible Leyal (witch-monster). A fight occurred, but she and her black magic troops were too strong that Erlangga, so Erlangga turns into the Barong (a kind of stylized lion) who represents the good powers. Barong came with Erlangga’s soldiers, the kris dancers, and fight ensued. Rangda casted a spell that made Erlangga soldiers all wanted to kill themselves, pointing their poisoned keris into their own stomachs and chests. Barong casted a spell that turned their body resistant to the sharp keris. At the end, Barong won, and Rangda ran away.

Batubulan Village: everyday, 9:30 AM

admin — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 02:45:06 +0000

The park covers 1,902 mi² (4927 km²) of unincorporated area in Coconino County and Mohave County.

There is a place called The Grand Canyon Skywalk that is truly an architectural feat. It protrudes a distance of 65 feet beyond the edge of the canyon. The floor and walls are built completely of glass that is 4 inches thick. This allows visitors to explore all angles of the Canyon from atop the Skywalk. Capacity is limited to 120 persons, although it is capable of holding 70 tons of weight. There is currently no time restriction as to how long visitors may stay on the Skywalk. The glass is tinted along the side, and is designated as a safe zone for scared visitors. At a height of 400 feet about the Canyon floor, scared visitors are a pretty common occurrence. Looking down through the glass floors or off the roofs of the worlds tallest skyscrapers pales in comparison to standing over 50 feet away from the Canyons edge, drinking in one of the seven greatest natural wonders of the world.

Top Places in Singapore

admin — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:47:25 +0000

1. Sentosa

Ok, place number one is Sentosa. In case you’ve not seen it in brochures or tour packages, I can tell you that Sentosa is certainly (without a doubt) one of the must-see places in Singapore. The lovely island off the southern coast of the Singapore mainland is one of the most visited resorts for tourists. Come 2010, there will be a Sentosa based integrated resort which will definitely see visitors flocking to the island even more.

2. Singapore Zoo

Place number tow you ask? It’s got to be the Singapore Zoo. The Singapore Zoo is renowned both in Southeast Asia and world-wide for its variety of animals and excellent pedigree. You’ll see everything from Chinese pandas to orang utans to white tigers. Certainly worth a visit and if you have the time, go for the Night Safari which is an interesting night tour of the zoo.

3. Chinatown

The next place one has to visit has to be Chinatown. If you’re interested in the culture and sights of the largest ethnic group in Singapore, then Chinatown is a must visit for its interesting little curio shops and cultural fare. Make sure you pop in to try the local food and also shop for traditional Chinese stuff like herbs and mahjong sets or jade.

4. Little India

Having talked about Chinatown, we got to talk also about Little India. Little India certainly has a charm all its own. If you’re in the mood for some Indian cultural experience, Little India has everything to offer you – from the traditional temples to the culinary delights of Indian curry or textiles. A must-visit for any tourist.

5. Boat Quay

The last place I have to mention has got to be Boat Quay. This place, especially on a Friday night, is full of working professionals and will lend you some insight into what the young working crowd here in Singapore gets into on weekends. Mostly a place for pubbing, clubbing and partying the night away.
