Ubud Part 2

Bali is a mostly hindu island full of beautiful temples and palaces. We have visited the Royal Palace and the Water Palace and saw some temples from outside (entering these require a special type of clothes which we didn't have at the time, other times they are closed for prayer or ceremonies).
One evening we went back to the Water Palace for a traditional Balinese music and dance performance. It was amazing, like nothing we have seen before. The dancers start learning these complex movies in their early years. It seemed to us that all their body parts, eyes, neck, head, toes, fingers everything! was moving seperately. We were especially impressed by the facial expressions and eyes movements which were extreme, crazy, sometimes scary or funny.Leggi altro
