24 Dec Safira Lestari
Hi I’m Fira, I’m from Denpasar, the capital city of Bali. It is the central location for the government, so there are a lot of government buildings. There are also a lot of malls, beautiful beaches, temples, and more malls. 😉
What is your favorite food?
My favorite food is betutu. It’s a Balinese dish of chicken or duck marinated with Balinese spices and steamed for hours. We eat it with rice and a simple Balinese vegetable dish called urap.
What is your favorite balinese holiday?
Galungan is my favorite holiday. It’s a festival where you can find bamboo poles decorated with young coconut leaves line the streets all over Bali. We celebrate it with our big family and everyone takes a day off from their job/business to gather together in their family compound!
The best piece of advice you want to give to someone traveling to Bali?
My advice for someone traveling to Bali is, respect the culture and the traditions we have. Follow the norms and always refer to your guide/coordinators!
What is your favorite word in Balinese, that has no direct translation to English.
Om shanti shanti shanti om, it means peace for each and everything in the world.
