My feelings about this discovery of Bali
First of all, the desire to come back very quickly… It feels so good there, there are so many things to discover and do that I absolutely have to go back. Everywhere in Bali, there is a feeling of serenity, calm, fullness.
Of course, the Balinese contribute to this harmony and this Zen atmosphere. Indeed, they are quiet, zero stress, zero conflict, smile galore, never in a hurry, never angry, in short an exemplary attitude!
Everywhere in the streets, at doorsteps, at the entrances to shops, on the dashboards of cars… there are offerings to the Gods. They are made up of flowers, leaves, food and even cigarettes.
Every morning, the Balinese prepare them carefully and harmoniously and change them every day. Be careful not to step on one! These offerings are precious and respected, a tourist will be really frowned upon for not paying attention to them ...

The only fault of the Balinese: they never say no. Even if they don't know, they always say yes. This can lead to serious misunderstandings and misunderstandings. The best is to always rephrase and if there is still a doubt it is necessary to question the other way around to test the answer!
My favorite in Bali
UBUD : a little too touristy but very endearing! Very lively with many good restaurants and great accommodation plans.
This is the city where you have to go shopping. The stores are very, very numerous and there is something for all budgets. Silver jewelry is very affordable and quite original. There are also beautiful ceramic decorative objects (handcrafted in Bali, see photo below).

In addition, on Market Street in Ubud, many local agencies offer excursions to the other islands of JAVA cf. photo below. So next time, head to UBUD to enjoy it a little more but especially to leave there for other islands and other adventures.
One regret: Not having been able to go to Amed (because of the Agung volcano), not having had enough time to go to the Batur volcano, to go to the beaches… 4 days is really too little.
