More on Bali ^^
When I travel, i like to take photos of people more than the sights because I feel that sometimes you take lai take qu is same one LOL so when i get tired, i will open my eyes big big and beow here beow there look see look see. Balinese are very friendly, especially the children, and will smile at you when you ask, "can take photo?"
Balinese Dancers (children)
Balinese Dancers and Musicians (professional)
hehehe, for the above, a german guy with a nikon D70 and 16-85mm lens saw me using my tripod and asked to borrow it. i lent it to him and he reciprocated by handing me his ticket for the performance so that i could go in and get some close-up shots LOLLL how nice of him. this is called win-win strategy kekeke =D my close-up shots turned out much better than the 200mm zoomed ones from the restaurant. Danke schön!!
there are many festivities such as the barong, which is kinda like our lion dance except that it's led by children. groups of village children move from around with a pig-like puppet and shop-owners invite them to make noise and dance so as to "ward off evil spirits". we were dining at cafe lotus when i got distracted by the commotion outside so i dashed out with my camera =))
i also ventured outside the resort and found some locals doing laundry in the river =)
children bathing in the same river
balinese women with offerings
balinese woman selling sarong
musicians in the resort

Bali ^^
since there are not many posts with photos, let me contribute some =)
while the JC2s were mugging away during the Mar hols, i was in Bali with Mr Wong (i am also called Mrs Wong) ^^
we went to Teggallalang rice terraces
armed with my trusty 400D with 18-200mm, my lowepro containing my other stuff and my gitzo as a walking stick, i wound my way halfway down the terrace just to explore explore and met an old farmer who posed for me =)
Mt and Lake Batur (photos weren't v nice cos misty misty) but i did find some fruit stalls selling seasonal fruits
saw some tattooists (temporary tattoos)
and families out for a day of fun
Tanah Lot where there's a temple that looks as though it is floating on water (when the tide is high)
Sunset at Uluwatu
of all the places we visited on day 2, this has to be my favourite. the view is quite spectacular and you can sit or stand right at the edge of the cliff (barrier-free) to take in the picturesque sight.
you may catch the kecak dance if you wish (we didn't) and explore the area a little, which is inhabited by numerous wild, naughty monkeys.
take care of your belongings especially hats and glasses as they will come when you let your guard down, snatch them away and dart off. but there're natives there who will give the monkey some food in exchange for your item then charge you a small fee to "redeem" it back. one lady had her glasses snatched away and had to pay 20,000 Rp (about SGD$3) for it -.-
