Where the Hell is Matt?

*A one-post-break from the Bali trip posts*

I'm not sure whether you guys seen these videos in YouTube or not, but I really want to share them :P





The videos put a smile on my face, not because of the dancing, but how wonderful the World is and this lucky bastard get to visit those places. What a wonderful world.

*Start humming "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong*

Speaking about the dancing, to the ah beng or lala out there, the dance works any place on the Earth but not in night clubs. So don't even think about it! LOL

The Source of the Holy Water

After I'm done with the photographing in the big compound of the temple, I went to join the rest before I'm separated from the group.

When I found them, I found this too...



Look at the crystal clear blueish water! I'll show you where the water comes from in the next post, til then~ Bye~

See you in the next post!!



Just kidding, I'll show it to you later :P

Balinese believes that drinking or bathing in the holy water will cure diseases and bring back their youths. They didn't mentioned about improving the length or business hour for your penis though, Geek was very very disappointed when he found outtoo bad.



One of local even brought a huge bottle to fill it with the water, I guess it's for his daily drinking. Anyway, I just washed my face with the water, hoping that it'll turn me into a hemsem looking boy... LOL! Wait, didn't I just admit that I'm not hemsem? Damn.

To continue our journey into the temple, we are required to wear sarongs if the length of our shorts is shorter than our knees. Girls are required to wear it as well and those having period are prohibited from entering. Female tourists are excluded from the rules even if they are having their period that time, so don't worry ;)



TADAAAAAAAA!!! I'm wearing a sarong!!



Upon entering, we saw a huge pool, surrounded by walls of bricks. I'm still wondering how they built the walls around the pool. Mind you, the temple is hundreds years old. There must be some clever civil engineer around that time. Eh Robin, learn from them can? Hahahahaha!



This pool is the source for the crystal clear water you saw in the first picture. There are three springs in the pool if you look closely. You can identify them easily with the darker sand compare to the sand around it.



Plants are growing inside the pool, you can even see fishes swimming inside it. Amazing, isn't it? And by the way, did I told you that the water is cool? :P

The Holy Spring Temple

After the visit to Mount Batur, Kintamani, we headed to one of the famous temple in Bali - Tirta Empul Temple, also known as the Holy Spring Temple in Tampaksiring, Bali.

Legend says that a war between good and evil has taken place here. And... errr... I've forgotten the story told by our tour guide, again. Okay, I wasn't paying any attention to what he said because I was busy snapping some pictures. The only thing I can remember is that the water here is the source to the victory for the good side. Anyone want to tell the story? I'll update the story here if there's any :P


The Hero


The main entrance to the temple. It was difficult to capture the main entrance without any distraction with tourists going in and out of the place.


This little entrance is just right next to the main entrance. It looks more like a backdoor of the temple to me.


Futsal, badminton, hokey, ice skating, goyang car, [fill in any activities that can fit into the size of the compound here] anyone?

Next up...



See the white shirt guy in the picture? That's hamsap Nian You looking at people (male, female and kids included) bathing... hahahahahaha
