Know the place one intends to stay.

Irrespective of what kind of holiday one intends to, exploring the culture and tradition of Bali will be an icing on the cake. The best place to know the Balinese culture, art and tradition is Ubud.

In general, there is no argument about who is Balinese in a cultural sense, for although the Balinese love nothing better than debating major aspects of their own civilisation, they are in agreement about who is a member, broadly speaking, of the family. The native language of Bali is Balinese. Most Balinese learn the national language, Indonesian, a modernised version of nineteenth century Malay, only in school. Most of Indonesia’s languages, including Balinese, belong to the great Austronesian family, formerly known as Malayo-Polynesian, which stretches from Taiwan and the highlands of Indochina to Madagascar.
