Bali’s Event (Royal Cremation Ceremony)

A series of ceremonies will be held in Ubud, Bali, this coming month, culminating in a unique Royal Cremation (Pelebon) procession and Celebration of Life, which will take place on July 15th, 2008. This Royal Cremation Ceremony promises to be an unforgettable event for spectators.

 

The Ubud Royal Family will hold this ceremony for the bodies of two prominent elders of the family:
• Tjokorda Gde Agung Suyasa, who was head of the Ubud Royal Family and the leader of the traditional community in Ubud since 1976, and
• Tjokorda Gede Raka, who was a senior office in the police force in Denpasar until his retirement in 1992

 

This ceremony is very much a public one and visitors are welcome but everyone is reminded to dress appropriately, with legs and arms covered, and to abide by any instructions and announcements.

Visit Indonesia Year 2008

If you say that Indonesia is not safe for tourist, you are totaly wrong. I believe that statement  made by people who doesn’t like Indonesia. Specialy BALI, it’s still no.1 tourist destination from around the world. I believe they would like to visit Indonesia rather than other country in Asia. Do you know why? Because we are the most generous people, we have a lot of history and culture and colourfulness of traditions.

 

The issues of terrorism in Indonesia still exist but I believe it can’t stop tourists to come here. We guarantee that Indonesia is safe for foreign visitors. The Indonesian police pledge to maintain this security. Bali, Sumatera, West Java; Bandung, Bogor, Ujung Kulon and more place  are safe and the security is under full control.

If you know or ever heard about Jl. Jaksa, you could see tourists walk on street without afraid of terror. Not once you have felt threatened in Jl. Jaksa. Indonesian people are so gentle, and kind.  Too bad for you if you’re not visit or stay, just for 2-3 days, in this beautiful country.

Note: according to ministry of culture and tourism of Indonesia, visitor arrival to Indonesia increase 12,94% (2,377,295 visitors) compare to 2007 ( 2.104,984 visitors).
