In a nutshell
Bali it's a great place. Once you go, you tend to go back ! .
DennyP Says: BALI ..Bali the end of the backpackers trail through South East Asia before reaching Australia.. Upon arrival in Bali the choices are many..so many come for the surf.or maybe look at the many volcanoes!! The amazing Temples. Others use Bali as a base for jumping off to see...
DennyP Says: BALI We all hear of the marvellous temples that are everywhere to see on the Island of Bali. Of course this was on my list of things to do...firstly the weather was great hot but not too steamy..so, a day by the coast was on the agenda..There is a marvellous temple to visit...
Walk about the town of Denpasar - lots to see
myspices Says: 1. Lots of tastefully designed batik materials and ready made clothes2. Pasar Bandung near to Bandung river - handicrafts and fresh vegetables and fruits3. Balinese structures - pura, official buildings and statues4. Daily lives of the locals
myspices Says: 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...

street vendors: Satay - Skewed Meat Pieces on Stick
myspices Says: Sold by street vendors anywhere. Price : 10,000Rp for 10 sticks of satay. Pieces of marinated meat skewed into a stick and grilled over small charcoal fire. Before eating, you can choose to dip the satay into the bowl of slighty spicy grounded peanuts sauce or the salt...
Coffee Shop: Murtabak - Crunchy outside, Soft inside
myspices Says: Found at all restaurants. Some restaurants have 3 types ie ordinary Murtabak , the Special Murtabak and the Super Murtabak. Price ranges from 12,000Rp to 14,000Rp. It is quite a big serving so it's best to order just one for 2persons. This is how the Murtabak is done....
Helpfulness
A spot where you can shop for handicrafts and daily needs. Good place to have your dinner. Must try the Babi Guling here - cheap and tasty. Other snacks sold on the streets are banana fritters and pastry puffs.

Dress Code: Casual - but not too revealing as this is where the locals are. The place could be slightly warm.

Carrying on top of the Head is easier...
myspices Says: Most women will carry their wares and goods on top of their heads. You will be amazed at how strong their heads and necks are as the basketful is indeed heavy and bulky. They will place a coiled-up towel or cloth on heads to support the heavy load.Upload pics later

Do not expect to find cameras or colour films on sale in Denpasr Ngurah Rai International Airport !
Unique Suggestions: Unless you look for it in Kuta or the city area of Denpasar, it is better to load your analog camera with colour film and enough battery power before you fly to Denpasar.
Fun Alternatives: Bring a digital camera instead !
