Bali Soul Journey: Meeting Yourself in Ubud’s Morning Bells and Evening Drums

Start today’s healing with the sound of insects at an Ubud homestay～
📍Ubud Homestay Address: Jl. Raya Pengosekan, Ubud
* Absolutely love this standalone bamboo house surrounded by tropical plants, with frangipani petals falling on the windowsill every morning🌸

🌅 Awakened gently by the bell sounds through carved wooden windows at dawn
Not a cold alarm clock, but an ensemble of offerings wrapped in banana leaves and wind chimes🎐
This is the unique Bali morning call!

🐒 Adventure in the Sacred Monkey Forest
📍Sacred Monkey Forest Address: Jl. Monkey Forest, Ubud
* Opening Hours: 8:30 AM - 6:00 PM
* Ticket: 80k IDR
When I saw a little monkey leap lightly from the shoulder of a Maya statue,
I suddenly understood the true meaning of "all things have spirits"✨
(⚠️ Remember to hide your glasses and snacks)

🌊 Noon shifts to surfing experience in Seminyak
The moment the wave lifts the surfboard high,
I suddenly realized: sometimes going with nature
takes more courage than fighting it🏄‍♀️

🌇 Divine moment at Uluwatu Temple at dusk
📍Uluwatu Temple Address: Pecatu, South Kuta
* Opening Hours: 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM
* Ticket: 50k IDR
Sitting on the cliff with strangers from all over the world,
as the sunset dyes the Indian Ocean flowing gold,
everyone is quiet as if attending a sacred ceremony.
The encounter between the ancient temple and the fleeting sunset
taught me: ultimate beauty never exists to be remembered.

🛍️ Unexpected treat at Ubud Market on the way back
The guy selling hand drums taught me Indonesian:
"terima kasih" (thank you)
Turns out it means "to receive and to give."
Isn’t this the true essence of travel?

🌙 Tonight, falling asleep to the sound of waves,
with the sweet fragrance of frangipani in the air,
the gods of Bali
are probably hiding in the moonlight, quietly smiling～
