Last summer my, well now ex, boyfriend surprised me with a romantic trip to Bali. And while right now I would have to admit that I would like to look back on this gift of his with some anger and ridicule, I also have to admit that the island was incredibly beautiful and we actually had an exceptionally great time in our beach hotel Bali. There is actually a lot more to do on this island than I ever imagined, though I guess I really didn’t think about it all that much or even now that much about Bali until, fine I’ll say his name, Joshua took me there.
Based on some of the major landmarks and cultural icons of the island it is not surprise to learn that the majority of its residents are Hindu. This was an interesting discovery for me and I got to learn a great deal about the religion just because I was so captivated by the beauty of much of the buildings, temples and architecture. It is also extremely rich in the arts, which I was pleased to discover. We saw some incredible dance performances and the local markets all seemed more like arts and crafts festivals. Everyday presented an interesting adventure of discovery. Which reminds me, our return home also presented quite a journey of discovery when Jan, the woman Joshua had secretly been seeing behind my back suddenly showed up at my place looking for him. It turns out that he had only booked this surprise romantic get away to keep me from finding out about her. I don’t know what the jerk was thinking, obviously we had to return at some point, which we did.
That’s enough about Joshua though. The truth came out and he was thrown out, basically. I still have the beautiful memories of Bali, and he has, well he doesn’t even have Jan anymore, or so I hear. Oh one last thing, the local music scene on Bali was absolutely incredible. Almost everywhere we went we encountered live music and really just seemed to be somewhat of a cultural staple. I could certainly adjust to that, and all complaints about Joshua aside, I definitely recommend it as a vacation spot to anyone.
