Bali is known as “the Island of the Gods,” with its tens of thousands of temples and shrines dating back more than a millennium to the exotic Indianized empires of Java that influenced Bali greatly. Although it bore witness to the ancient Maritime Silk Road of Southeast Asia, Bali mysteriously avoided complete domination by ocean traders and European colonizers until as late as the 20th century.
Bali is visited today by millions of international tourists, not only for its magnificent beaches and lush, tropical scenery but also as a living monument of an ancient cultural past. The Balinese of today adhere faithfully to the unique Balinese Hinduism of their island paradise and continue following traditions and art forms that were brought to its shores by their ancestors thousands of years ago.

Less than a week back, I have returned after touring Bali. It is the crown jewel of the Indonesian archipelago. Beautiful island with friendly people. The island is littered with beautiful architecture and sculptures.

The music is very soothing sounds like something they open in the spa 🧖‍♀️

[@AryengKadiri]

That was "balinese rindik"

[@justimunn7877]

it certainly is funny to find out that the music of my culture is reduced to "something that they open in the spa" haha
but I'm glad you enjoy it .

Very interesting overview of Balinese history up to the eruption of Gunung Agung in 1963. You could have included one of the darkest chapters in modern Balinese history - the anti-Communist purge in the mid-1960s, during which an estimated 80,000 Balinese were killed.

Isn't Australia considered a continent? I feel absolutely ashamed to not know this considering history/geography are my favorite subject's to learn about in my free time.

[@user-dd9ek8sj5m]

Australia is much bigger. It is so big that it is referred to as an island continent. Therefore you are correct in calling it an island
