Island Of Bali
I have a sister in Australia, and I was lucky enough to travel to Bali in 2002. I have told my Bohol girl that it is a unique place with its Hindu culture, and hopefully we will both make a visit one day. Has anyone else been there? In Balinese culture, Barong, a mythical lion-like creature symbolises good luck. Can anyone tell me why it has the same name as the Philippine national shirt? I will certainly not object if every time I put my Barong on it brings me good fortune. By the way, Barong is opposed by the witch Rangda. It is all about the eternal struggle between good and evil, dark and light etc. If anyone is thinking of making a visit, Kuta is lively and full of drunk Aussies and near the beach, Ubud is quieter and in the hills and more authentically Balinese and Seminyak is somewhere in between in atmosphere. Anyway, like I say, it's well worth a visit.

Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
