Bali Villa News and Article

“Lombok, Sister Island of Bali”
If not mistaken, that sounds a slogan I have ever seen when it passed a billboard.

Island with an area reaches 5435 km ² located east of the island is said to have pinned appendage of the world’s best island. Anyone try the Bali tau ga? The island has always been a tourist destination of world and domestic tourists.

In addition to this slogan that I mentioned first in the early writings, there is another slogan I ever heard when I first set foot on earth gora (another term for the island of Lombok), namely “You can see Bali in Lombok, but you Can not see Lombok in Bali.

Why be like that? It sounds a little (or too?) Bombastic. But there is more or less true. For example: there are many people in Lombok from Bali, making it very easy to find with the cultural life of Bali in Lombok. Pura, prayer and culture when someone dies Ngaben world a common sight could be witnessed in Lombok.

Not to mention if you talk to a tourist attraction. Bali’s famous Kuta beach to every corner of the earth may not be comparable with Kuta Beach Lombok tenarnya. Although if you speak a panorama of beauty and keasriannya, from the testimony of several friends who had visited both these objects, nearly all states that are more beautiful Lombok Kuta Beach. Okey, maybe somewhat objective, but please prove it if you do not believe it.

In terms of promotion, support facilities, organization, infrastructure, human resources can I make sure that the island of Lombok “not nothing” compared with the Bali Tourism Office, where local government is truly manage tourism.

Lombok is still very far behind in terms of the Balinese. That is why the amount of domestic and foreign tourists in Bali must be higher than on Lombok.

If it were not for the people who filled the faces of South Asian and similar with Arab  Hadrami, not to mention the dominance of Sanskrit writing on billboards, you must have thought Colombo, Maskeliya, Galle, Kandy, or other areas in Sri Lanka is Indonesian.

How not natural, vocabulary, and social atmosphere like in Indonesia. Even the housing situation in cities such as Indonesia, with the vegetable saler shouting his wares.

Shouting of “vegetable” or “cakwe” commonly heard Bandung citizen every morning, for example, came in every morning in Colombo. Of course, traders using the language of Sri Lanka Sinhalese or Tamil.

If there Singaraja in Bali, then in Sri Lanka there is a city named that. You are a garut people? Do not think only you have Wanaradja districts in Sri Lanka because there was Wanaradja.

Names of fruits and vegetables they like, even named the same as the Indonesian language.

“That rambutan,” said Sanjaya, Sinhala man who delivered the author along several points of a city already known for thousands of years man.

Sanjaya mention the word “rambutan” for the fruit that was in Indonesia called “rambutan.”

“Indonesian people are also using the word ‘longevity’ for ‘congratulations’ is not it?” Indira Priyadarshini asked Nawagamuwa, producer of Sri Lanka Broadcasting Commission. “We also extend congratulations to the word,” he continued.

Another thing, many corners of the city that something like Indonesia, such as Galle Face area that resembles the Fortress area Losari and Makassar in South Sulawesi.

The streets in the town also wide and seeksotis Ijen area in Malang or Cipaganti areas in Bandung.

A rather disturbing from Colombo and Sri Lanka are too many soldiers carry rifles or AK-47 Kalashnikov China version (Type 56) to keep certain areas.
