Bali

Bali to me is an island resort with relaxing spas and luxury chalets. Now I sound as if I’ve been there. Ironically, I haven’t.

So I can only happily sigh looking at this beautiful beach which fellow Malaysian Postcrosser Chat noir sent me, hoping that I can still hear the fresh air breeze and smell the beach of Bali from the card.

Ohh, Chat noir seems to have gone to Bali many many times already!! This was sent right from there with Indonesian stamp. Colorful culture they have there. These Balinese women are carrying offerings to the temple on a festive day. Balinese are mainly practising Hinduism, unlike the rest of Indonesia which is Muslim majority. In fact, Hindu was the belief of people in Indonesian islands and Malay peninsula during the 11st century before Islam came to the region in the 15th century.

This Bali card shows Mount Agong, the highest volcano in Bali island. Glo sent me this postcard and she even puts mountain-shaped stamps to match this card. Very interesting. But I don’t get to scan stamps otherwise I’ll be busier in double. And crazier in double. Heh.
