What To Expect in Bali

We have to agree that Bali is one of the most beautiful islands in the world. But we also have to agree that Bali is also one of the most hectic islands in the world. Traffic, crimes, frauds, etc. can be found in this island. The problematic issue that has the highest impact is the traffic. You will have to spare at least 30 minutes to 1 hour from the usual time to travel to one place from another. You can be trapped in traffic for 20 minutes or more. Avoid leaving in a pressed time to if you decide to travel. After all, it is better to be early than late. The government have improved the city landscaping and building new roads that should tackle all the problems relating to traffic, but so far, there are some streets that needs to be avoided in a certain time.

Crime is something else. Since the economy is growing rapidly in Bali, There are a lot of people coming from the other islands in Indonesia. For example, the closest, Java. Unfortunately, since the economy attract so many emigrants, the working field can't keep up with the fast growing number of emigrants. It is unfair to generalize, but sometimes, there are so many people takes the fastest and easier way to fulfill their needs. So take care of your belongings, always lock the door before you leave and do not wear too many accessories during your daily activity.

Apart from those, Bali is a beautiful tropical island with a strong cultural and religion approach. You can always see the green rice field, the lush tropical jungle, the sun and the inviting beaches. Not to mention the hospitality of the people. Everyone is not afraid to share smiles and laughter. The warm welcoming act will sway you away and probably bring thoughts of staying in the island. Some places even have exotic animals living side by side with human.
