Bali cited in 'Using Astrology to Plan Travel this Holiday Season'

fshok.com Still vibrant and popular today, the five-thousand-year-old art of astrology can identify, say, business and romantic opportunities or challenges. And those celestial bodies slinking about the stars can also help pinpoint optimal times and places for travel. And since destinations have their own astro-charts -- which interact with yours -- astrology can even serve as a kind of spiritual travel agent. It can tell you, for example, about places likely to be harmonious or challenging…

    So sad to read this portrait of overtourism and tourists behaving badly in Bali, and how local and national officials are trying to address the problems. What the hell is wrong with people? https://www.washingtonpost.com/travel/2023/04/11/bali-bad-tourists-...

    So many islands! Some much better known than others, and I was interested to learn about one called Samosir, up in North Sumatra, from a recent CNN Travel look at a dozen and a half under-the-radar gems in Asia - find out why it was included: https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/asia-underrated-places-intl-...

    Everyone's in a tizzy about the changes to the country's criminal code just passed by parliament - the most notorious being prohibition of extramarital sexual relations. Concern is highest in Bali, Indonesia's biggest tourism draw, but ameliorated by the fact that the sex-out-side marriage thing can only be denounced by the "offending" couples' immediate relatives - meaning foreigners are unlikely to be affected. Worries persist, however, and here's more about it from The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/dec/08/a-little-nerve-rackin...

    Truly the most fascinating countries in the region with a very diverse culture/s. Pity that not much has been done to promote the many different islands (save for Bali).

    As a tour operator who specialises in exposing the indigenous cultures we have developed and operated many different tours which go into the remote areas of many of the islands - see   http://bestway.com/countries/indonesia.php 

    Indonesia also offers a long established and cultural heritage. I do feel that it is important that the concerned authorities promote the diverse cultures and tourism.

    I had an interesting experience on my last trip to Bali. We went to a funeral ceremony and took plenty of photos. When we had the photos developed, nothing but a gray mist was visible. Everything else we shot with the same camera and film9011265101?profile=original was normal. Very strange.
