5 allowed lies in Bali


bon,,
Few days ago i had a trip to Bali, the goddess island, with my mom and her friends for three days..
We saw many places that's maybe always be the common tourist destinations, but it still extraordinary for me. It's because the last time i went to that statue island was when i'm one year old, still a cute baby,not yet a beautiful girl like today ;p

We went to 'tanah lot';beautiful shore on south Bali, 'tanjung Benoa';awsome cape with little island near to for turtle breeding, 'pantai Kuta';famous beach which full of foreigner hangin' out, 'Bedugul';gorgeous Balinese temple in the edge of 'Batur' huge lake, 'Garuda Wisnu Kencana';lime hill shaped with a biggest statue in the world to be-the god of Hindu riding on a Garuda bird covered by gold-inside, and many shopping stops. We also saw the Barong dance which is full of magic.

Our tour guide on that occasion was a warm and humorous man, I Putu Sarjana, called Bli Gde (Bli means big brother and Gde means the oldest child in the family). He, as a guide expected to be, told us many stories about Bali all along the way. He spoke and spoke but surprisingly, it never made me boring. He told us about the places, the cultures, to the mythes of his Island. It gave me new knowledge. Vacation with adding knowledge was always be my favourite.

The interesting one that he told me (us i mean) was about five allowed lies for Balinese.

I never thought about lie that is allowed before, but Bli Gde told me there were five good lies allowed in Bali. I can't remember the sequence so just pretend there are no sequences. xixi. Well, first is lie by the doctor to the patient. It's needed on the such situation where the patient is in very bad condition and logically, near the death. The doctor allowed to lie to the patient or the patient's family to reduce their worries. Second, the adult's lie to the kid. Sometimes, kiddo do some silly things that can danger their life like run around a well. Their parent maybe tell them a lie about a ghost that live inside the well to keep them safe. Third, the lie of the seller to the buyer. For example, "this is special for you miss, 15% discount for your beauty". Fourth, ....

emm i forget :p let me think first. Well, for a while, let this to be continued..
