Welcome back to the blog! My sincerest apologies for the lengthy hiatus; life as a librarian and literacy teacher has kept my schedule wonderfully, yet relentlessly, full. However, with the calendar ticking towards the year-end break, I simply had to return to discuss something vital: stress-free travel in Bali. If you are currently planning a last-minute trip and dreading the notorious festive chaos, you've certainly come to the right place.
As a Balinese local , the Ogoh-Ogoh processions are a yearly spectacle, a powerful display of our spiritual beliefs. This year, the "Bibi Anu" Ogoh-Ogoh, crafted by Banjar Tengah Sesetan, stood out, its pregnant figure amidst a chaotic array of monstrous forms. It wasn't merely a visual spectacle; it was a profound representation of our cultural values, a mirror reflecting the delicate balance between life's fragility and the internal battles we all face.
