The island is STEEPED with culture; from gorgeous temples to the breathtaking architecture all over the island to the amazing cultural events, there are so many things that happen around the country that sometimes you don’t even notice or completely take for granted, like one of my favorite things, the Canang Sari, or offerings that are left on your doorstep and all over the island every morning. We made sure to ask our villa staff any and every question that came up regarding things going on or culturally appropriate practices, and they were more than happy to teach us.
Bali has a beautiful culture that is rooted in spiritual practice (hence the daily offerings). If you don’t take the time to talk to the locals about their culture, of course, it’s easy to assume that there’s nothing going on around you, but you’re in fact just ignorant of it. Every part of the island is dripping in culture, from the tourist areas to the outskirts, the people are the culture, the spirituality is the culture, the architecture is the culture, the language is the culture, and it’s important to learn about those things.
