Weekend in Bali (Ubud)


Hindu Temple



Ubud's coffeeshop style
Monkey Forest
Ubud's streets
These are offerings people use everywhere.... in front of a statue, in front of a business door, on the road...
Rice fields
Hat houses... Ubud style

Cremation ceremony

Funeral ceremony in Ubud: People gather to deliver the corpse from the center of the town to the cemetery.
They built a high tower (the higher the more important the person was) where they put the corpse. The tower is standing over a bamboo framework, which the use to transport it.
A bull is preceding the tower in the way to the cemetery.
On the way to the cemetery they walk in circles and zigzaging to confuse the body and separate it from the soul.
The dead guy, must be very beloved because there was a lot of people.
