Bali-Day 2

On day 2, we went to watch stageshow of Barong Dance and Drama. Barong Dance is Bali traditional dance with storyline narratting the battle between evil and good. Entah ape lah nama dewanya or king, berlawan menetang kejahatan....

I actually wonder if the history/mythology we have been fed with since we were small had really happened in the past...know what ...during my very first visit to Bali, we came across "Jalan Hang Tuah" , and the pak tourist told us that Hang Tuah itu penyebar agama hindu...then this round, we test another pak tourist knowledge , and he told us that Hang Tuah is one of sultans or warriors from Majapahit......whether theirs is actually our own Hang Tuah , pahlawan Melayu ....tak dapek akak nak jawap...but it makes me wonder...

On a separate issue, recently there is news in paper of us claiming certain food to be originally ours (i.e. originated in Malaysia) and another report bashing Malaysia for using certain dance in promoting the country....From where I am seeing it, our culture actually overlapping with each other for being "serumpun", why not sharing? ....is it necessary to fight for food and dance when they are many other alarming issues in the world...

Yang tinggal bersawo matang cuma kite dan mereka di dunia ini.....so let us just rest the silly issue to bed!

After the play, was beach walking and shopping around Kuta, Legian Seminyak ...tahu tahu ajerlah satu family dah jadi shopaholic....

Later in the evening, we had ritual hair theraphy at Galoh Bali Spa and the boys had swimming session...i think Spa ni bagus for family with kids like us...while the parents have their spa treatment, the kids can have their go with the pool---sesuai sangat kan?

The only flaw is the pool is quite deep so got to get the help of pak tourist guide to help watching the kids...:)))
