Taken on the main street Sanur Beach, Bali of a woman performing her daily task. Asian workers give an entirely serious definition to the phrase "overworked and underpaid"!

About this place:

Bali known as The island of Gods,

Bali is justly famous for its unique Hindu culture, the splendor of its ritual arts, and the beautiful of nature. So many interesting places spread in this small island.

This island is not nearly as interesting as its neighbor Lombok which is where you step back in time where there are no Ritz Carltons, Four Seasons, and Hyatts!

    Bali is what a writer calls Hindu Disneyland and I couldn't agree more. Other than the Hindus there is nothing special about the island. What Bali offers other nations have in spades: rice paddies, beaches, surfing, scuba diving, arts and crafts. As a matter of fact the Philippines is far more interesting and diverse. Most Americans go to one place: Ubud and never see the rest of the island. Tourism is the number one industry and the infrastructure is supported by the Japanese government. The island is polluted, noisy, crowded, poor, and not at all unique as some would have you believe.
