It would have eased my learning curve." David "This book is simply...wow." Carol "The book takes out a rather complex culture and simplifies it by bringing out important aspects and explaining them. This sets it apart from the other travel books." Roger "Light and entertaining reading with serious substance nonetheless." Anna The neighborhood Enjoying Indonesia 2021 This is the inside perspective you’ll learn in this book: “We walk slowly, not just to enjoy the scenery or the shop windows, but because walking slowly is less tiring. Foreigners always walk too fast for a tropical climate. For us it’s hard to understand why.” “Bakso is so popular that it is also vended from pushcarts making their way through the neighborhoods. The vendor announces his presence tapping a spoon against an empty soup bowl. He is never short of customers.” “We have a range of ‘yes’ answers. The intonation and the body language’ reveal if it is a real ‘yes’, a ‘maybe’ or a ‘forget it’.” “We behave like this especially towards seniors. After all, it is ‘not done’ to challenge their opinion. So, it is far better to pretend than to create an unpleasant atmosphere at home or at work –and thus disrupt harmony.” “The captivating and hypnotizing metallic sound of the gamelan with its wooden drums pounding the rhythm and the heavy sound of the gongs resonating through the valley can be heard for hours until deep into the night.” Enjoying Indonesia 2021 Lotus flowers Enjoying Indonesia 2021 Enjoying Indonesia 2021 Chris Soebroto Photos: Sri Hadiyah, Chris Soebroto, Yudhis Soebroto, Yulia Dwi Heryianti, Ratna Setianingsih, and Dept.

Here, on an island less than 150 kilometres wide and only 80 kilometres from north to south, day-to-day life is layered in ceremony and festival, a parade of activities rooted among the island’s 3.5 million inhabitants. The joy of Bali is that daily life is just as memorable for its visitors. The island’s complex and endlessly renewing culture offers new experiences from morning to evening – from temple ceremonies and gamelan performances, to village festivals and palace theatre. Located in the cultural heart of Bali, Amandari will guide you to encounter the island’s beguiling face and discover its soul. In a country of rivers and volcanic mountains, tropical forest, terraced rice fields, sea vistas and more, there is no shortage of activities to get close to the land, its people and their culture. To help you get there, we have carefully curated our Amandari Experience Guide.

Beaches to a Throbbing Nightlife Scene and More: Culture, World-Class Surfing, Lush Rice Paddies, Volcanic Mountain Scenery, and Fantastic Year-Round Weather
THE BEST OF BALI & LOMBOK 1 etween the two Indonesian islands of Bali and Lom- bok, you can experience it all—from pristine, quiet Bbeaches to a throbbing nightlife scene and more: Culture, world-class surfing, lush rice paddies, volcanic mountain scenery, and fantastic year-round weather. But wait, there’s more. The island pair also offers the best-rated resorts at reasonable prices, flawless service, and pampering, cut-rate spa treatments. A Hindu haven in the Muslim-majority Indonesian archipelago, Bali has for years attracted artists, honeymooners, spiritual seekers, surfers, and those otherwise looking for the “good life,” while Lombok attracts more rugged travelers looking for an off-the-beaten-path experience. The Bali- nese and the people of Lombok have always been accommodating hosts, and their acceptance of different lifestyles has drawn an assortment of “misfit” residents. During your trip, you’re destined to meet some real characters, whether they be of the “Kuta cowboy” variety—young Indone- sian bachelors trolling the beach for foreign girlfriends—or the cult of New Age, yoga-obsessed foreigners who’ve settled in the rice paddies of Ubud. The Balinese practice a unique amalgam of Indian Hindu traditions, Buddhism, ancient Javanese customs, and indigenous, animistic beliefs. The beauty of their faith colors every aspect of life, from fresh flowers strewn everywhere in obeisance to the calm of morning prayer at the temple. During your visit, you’re sure to catch the distinctive tones of the gamelan, a xylophone-like instrument, and the gathering of sarong-clad worshipers at the island’s ubiquitous temples.
