Whoaa, it's been a month I didn't write anything in here! I can't say that I am busy, I just do another stuff I like. So yeah, I almost forget that I have a blog too : )
Well, few days ago my parents were having a trip in Bali with their friends, so my boyfriend and I kidnapped them for a day, rent a car and hanging out with them (along with my boyfriend's fams too). And guess what, I nominated myself as their guy-who-take-their-pics.
My favorite place in Bali is along the south part of this island. Although it's fairly hard to be reached, like we have to drive up to the hill, but when we finally arrive there we can stand at the edge of the cliff and look at the uncontaminated blue ocean—a very large one for sure, inhale a very fresh oxygen and see a bright puffy cloud! So, yeah, the rest of us went to Uluwatu temple (we called it 'Pura Uluwatu' in here) which is located at Desa Pecatu, Kuta—south part of Bali. Uluwatu temple isn't so far from Suluban beach as I write in this post. The transportation to get there is pretty much the same, car or motorbike and there's no public transportation heading there. To enter Uluwatu temple, we have to buy ticket, I forget how much it is, but I'm sure it's very cheap, less than IDR 10k. This place is built right above the edge of coral cliff and it is ± 97 above sea level.

According to Balinese, Uluwatu temple is one of 4 main temples in Bali. It is built since 11 century by Mpu Kunturan. At that time, this temple was used by peoples who lived around there to worship Dewa Rudra (Dewa means God) for their salvation. After about 400 years, a Hinduism missionary named Dang Hyang Nirartha decided to be Mokhsa in this temple. Because this place is a temple, before entering the main gate, we have to wear such a shawl to be wrapped around our waist and if we wear a short pants/skirts we have to wear a special cloth (Balinese call it kamen).
There are a lot of monkeys around and inside Uluwatu temple. They like to take a little and shiny thing, so usually if we go there with a tour guide, they'll suggest us to take off our earrings and another jewelry, glasses; hold our cell phone and camera very tight. Rumor has it that those monkeys are well-trained and if our stuffs are taken by those monkey, the more valuable our stuffs, the more expensive we have to pay their diviner to take our stuffs back. Yeah, once again, it's a rumor. The certain thing that we must aware are their bites. Believe me, it'll hurt so bad.
