Sighted this pura ("temple") while we were on our way to Kereneng Night Market. Picturesque in the sense that there is this huge shady tree next to it. Upon looking into the pura, we found that it could be a new pura as there were some on-going construction materials lying on the grounds of the pura and the pura looks pretty new in its structures.

You want to taste local food ? Kereneng Night Market is the place to be in. Situated at Jl Kamboja and near to Kereneng Bemo terminal, the place is packed with locals having their dinner or just simply to shop for their daily needs. It opens as early as 6.00pm. It is where you can shop for clothes, handicrafts and a place where you can find cheap and delicious babi guling.

It is the state temple - dedicated o Sanghyang the Supreme god. Sometimes, the road along the temple will be closed for ceremonies, otherwise, the road will be filled with people relaxing, playing chess and stall vendors selling snacks and drinks.

Nice, big, green "taman" (park) to hang out. Lots of activities, especially in the evening - children running and playing, joggers at the path, balloon men, snacks & drinks being sold, lovers hands in hands, parents coaching their youngs .... basically it is a place for everyone.
There is a big monument with fountains - to commemorates heroic men who have fought against the Dutch in 1906

It's a huge monument at the roundabout in the centre of Denpasar - a landmark of the City. Very near to Puputan Square. "Catur" means "Chess" while "Muka" means "Face". The statue represents Lord of Four Directions, Batara Guru - which is aptly placed at the roundabout. At night, it is beautifully lighted up and at the base you will see rays of fountains.

i really like these streets: a lot of local people going up and down the street. they sell and buy anything, specially thnigs to eat. a lot of traffic and real balinese chaos!
but always friendly: a guy stop me (he saw a tourist and was very curios) and start talking just for the fun to speak with a stranger, very nice!
