Bali is great place.....

Hai my name is rizal. I come from jakarta and now I live in bandung because I study in Institut Manajemen Telkom. Afterwards I will tell you story about my experince vacation in Bali. The lush green Bali of travel brochures has a cruel flipside - over the province's mountain range to the north lies some of the driest wastelands imaginable. In this environment the local people literally scratch out a living on soils barren of water. Few people ever visit these regions that are poor not just in terms of water and soil nutrients, but also in schools, healthcare and employment. It is from one of these arid zones, Muntigunung, that many of Bali's beggars come.On any day you will meet impoverished women and their children "begging for a crust of bread and such" on the streets of Bali's wealthy southeast tourist zones.Their gaunt faces and eyes lowered with the humiliation of begging, contrast cruelly against a backdrop of up-market shops laden with expensive goods, people passing by with enough money in their pockets to cover education costs for a year, money that will instead be spent in one evening over a few beers and a meal.From having to beg for a living, this Muntigunung woman now harvests hibiscus to make Rosella Tea.
People told me they were not Balinese because Bali has no beggars. These women are Balinese - they are from the Muntigunung region. This area has no water. "I have heard these villagers' average income is 10 US cents a day. The United Nations minimum subsistence income is 10 times that level at $1 a day. The place is interest for tourist domestik and internasional because muntigunung have area montain and hill. The people very kind concern tourist and their can balinese dance traditional like Tari kecak and Tari pendet. I staying with my family in bali and stay at villa around muntigunung. In the morning I and my cousin go to the hill for see sunset the sun and its very amazing. After that I and my cousin comeback to villa for rest and when the lunch I eat together with my parents. My uncle invite me to go the beach in Ubud for have a good time we can surfing, swimming, and diving see fish and coral the sea. We are very enjoy in bali, maybe next time holiday I go to again with my friend in my campus.
