;)
The Annual Bali Arts Festival provides an opportunity for the artists and people to develop, explore, preserve, and accommodate various talents through such activities as parades, performances, contests, exhibition, and discussions.
The Bali Arts Festival is a full month of daily performances, handicraft exhibitions and other related cultural and commercial activities during which literally the whole of Bali comes to the city to present its offerings of dance, music and beauty. On display are trances from remote mountain slopes, forgotten or recently revived village dances, food and offering contests, classical palace dances, stars of Balinese stage, odd musical performances, “kreasi baru” (new creations) from the dance schools of Denpasar, as well as contemporary choreography and dance companies from other islands and from abroad.
The central theme of this year’s Bali Arts Festival, starting from June 17, 2006 until July 15, 2006 which is the 28th round, is called Swabhawaning Idep.

Mount Bromo scenery is primary tourist attraction in east Java which can be seen from the top of Mount Penanjakan which has altitude 2774 meters above sea level. It is the highest top of Tengger Mountain range where in the morning visitors can see beautiful sun rise, sand sea and the scenery of Mount Bromo. The interesting soft adventure to get from the sand sea to the peak of Mount Bromo, can be a soft adventure climbing and or to get there by horse riding, and continue going up to 300 steps to see the spectacular un-ended smoky caldera of the Mount Bromo with a stunning view of nearby mountain villages.
Mount Bromo can be accessible from Malang and Surabaya just only 95 km. In addition we can see the uniqueness of Tenggerese tradition which has mutual work in Tenggerese culture the ritual activities still exist over there.

1. Visitors are welcome to attend any ceremony held either at a family-compound or a temple provided that they are properly dressed or at least put a sash around their waist - this means you must wear a sarong and modest clothing to show respect to the host or Deities of the place visited.
2. Sarongs can almost always be hired at temple gates, or you may be able to use your own if you have one (always ask). In any case, a sash may also be required (which is generally hired). Pay due respect to local customs and dress correctly when visiting temples.
3. However, at a temple, a visitor is kindly requested not to enter the main-court during worship-time
4. Ladies menstruating are kindly requested not to enter any temple or holy place
5. Many places in Bali still trade in the traditional way, where the buyer offers a price, the seller scoffs indignantly, asks a higher price, the buyer offers somewhere between and eventually the sale is made somewhere within the range of the opening bids.
6. The hasslers: Walking down the streets of Bali's major tourist villages is often quite a chore. There will always be someone trying to sell watches, perfume, transport or other items such as paintings, post-cards or wood-carvings. These are the inevitable hassles that one must face. To reduce the stress of conflict, try to ignore unwanted sales-pitches, keep walking, and retain your composure even under duress of pressure sales tactics.
7. Driving a vehicle in Indonesia (Bali) is done on the left side.
8. You will need a police report to replace a stolen passport or for your personal insurance claims.
9. If you are stopped by the police for a traffic violation, you may be requested to appear before a court in Denpasar. A possible way of avoiding this situation is to offer to pay the fine on the spot. Obviously, you should not suggest a bribe to any police officers, however many officers will be willing to levy an on the spot fine (which may be negotiable by clever bargaining) so you may avoid a court appearance.
10. Don't leave your valuables on the beach while you are swimming.
11. Hotel rooms aren't a safe place for your valuables-leave valuable possessions in a safety-deposit box and lock your room. Many losmen and guest houses allow you to use your own padlock.
12. All travelers to Indonesia must be in possession of a passport that is valid for at least six months past the date of arrival, and must have proof (such as tickets) of onward or return passage. Visas are not required for nationals of many countries, including, Australia, Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. For others, tourist visas can be obtained from any Indonesian Embassy or Consulate. Your travel agent can assist.
13. The maximum stay permitted for tourists is two months, and is not extendible. Those intending a longer stay must contact the Indonesian Embassy or Consulate in their home country before leaving.
14. Receiving or giving something with the left hand is impolite.
15. Always swim between the red and yellow marker flags on the beaches. The areas between the flags are patrolled by surf lifesavers. Swimming outside the flags is a foolish risk, as the placement of the flags specifically identifies safe patrolled sections of the beach.
