- Garuda Wisnu Kencana In BaliBy ah hong on August 27, 2010 | No Comments
Garuda Wisnu Kencana (GWK) is a private cultural park on the Bukit Peninsula at the southern end of Bali island. It is devoted to the Hindu god Vishnu and Garuda, the mythical bird who is his companion.
I fall asleep during the journey to Garuda Wisnu Kencana in Bali, so I got no idea how long you need to travel from Kuta town to reach GWK.
The entrance fee for Garuda Wisnu Kencana is 50,000 Indonesia Rupiah per person for non-local. The most expensive tourist attraction visit in Bali

GWK In Bali
One of the statue in Garuda Wisnu Kencana, Vishnu (Hindu god) stands in 23 metres high behind me.
The whole GWK construction began many years back and it’s one of the billions of Rupiah project which wins the objection by the religious authorities that the massive size might disrupt the spiritual balance of Bali island.
The gigantic Garuda (the mythical bird) in GWK makes me want to fly with Garuda Airlines.
We were just Hobbits in the eye of the massive Garuda.
Garuda and Giraffe on the shot. Our visit in Garuda Wisnu Kencana ends after 30 minutes of walk and photo shooting with some sweat.
The next destination will be Tanah Lot, a Hindu Temple set on the big rock surrounded by the seawater and located in Tabanan Regency. See ya~
- Jimbaran Beach DinnerBy ah hong on August 22, 2010 | No Comments
The Jimbaran beach dinner started with a beautiful music from the ocean after the sunset view in Uluwatu. You shouldn’t miss Jimbaran as one of the good spot for fresh seafood craving.
Jimbaran beach is just 30 minutes drive away from Uluwatu temple and it’s just perfect to have dinner after the beautiful sunset.
Upon our arrival to Jimbaran, we saw lots of stall queuing along the beach and anyone want to guess which seafood stall is the best?
We did some reading on other people’s dining experience in Jimbaran and majority of them recommend Lia’s Cafe as one of the most inexpensive and good taste seafood of all

Seafood Dinner In Jimbaran
Our Jimbaran seafood platter for tonight with 0.5kg lobster, 0.5kg crab, 7 pcs of prawn and clam each with 4 different sauce.
We also have 2 small Bintang beer, soup, salad, potatoes, rice, vegetable and dessert as well

350,000 Indonesia Rupiah is the worthy price tag for the Jimbaran fresh seafood dinner.
It’s even more special when there’s an acoustic band orchestrate love song from one table to another.
Should have pick Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton. Anyway we are happy with our dinner in Jimbaran
