BALI trip episode 2

Actually i dont really have many pics since my digi cam is cikai one, the pics taken tak cantik sgt compared to Kak Ta's new 8 megapixels digi cam..so , until i got copies of the pics taken from her cam, u just hv to b satisfied with what i got in hand now :)
the 1st place we went was the Garuda Wishnu Kencana Cultural Park..here we took a pic with the dancers there..but at tht time they r more of like penyambut tetamu..dah abis show kot

here is the the Wishnu statue..according to Made, our tour guide, this is one of Suharto's big project..its kinda crazy actually coz the craftmen r from Bali, n were sent to Java to do the carving, n then the statues were sent back to Bali to b assembled here..kelakar kan?and actually the plan was to make a huge statue..if u see this Wishnu face n trunk..it is actually abt 1/5 th of the whole thing..at present, they managed to build the Wishnu face and trunk, his hands and the Garuda..the remaining parts would b the legs, the Garuda's wings and body..n trust me, the wings is 1/2 of the whole thing..

i know none of u can see the hands..coz they r not in the pic..hehehe..i didnt get to take the pic of the hands, but basically the hands r in hinduism act..sort of

n here is the Garuda..pretty amazing one..i love it!! this Garuda was supposed to b on top of Wishnu..so, can u imagine just how tall the whole statue would be?very impressive!!

our next stop is Dreamland beach..my friend, Danu told me to come here coz the beach is awesome..he's right..it's not a big beach, but it has kinda romantic atmosphere there..wonder if this the place where Ashraf Sinclair and BCL were caught kissing passionately before..hehe..we reached there at abt 4-5 pm..not reaching sunset yet, but dunno la..i think if i was there with my partner, i might kiss him as well..hehehe...there's something there that makes u tempted to feel mushy mushy :)

Dreamland is actually a name given by the tourist, i gussed its bcoz the place looks like in a dream..the real name?forgot..but sounds very Indonesian..the place is somewhat hidden behind hills..Dreamland is another project by Suharto's son, Tommy..pls correct me if im wrong ok? Made said most of the big big projects in Bali owned by the ex-prest family, n most of them has something to do with corruption..sad kan?a place full n rich of culture and being the source of income thru tourism which supposed to bring wealth to a lot of ppl is now being conquered by a certain group of ppl..n what makes it more sad is tht the group of ppl are not even a Balinese..shame on them!!
