Bali is just like all the tour books say and more. Despite the heat and the 200% humidity I enjoyed it all,the people. their culture, arts, crafts, and textiles. The name of the trip was
Bali fiber Tour, lead by Barbara Alexander. Barb is the former owner of Batik Butick which was and is a company designing , selling and making batik fabrics in Bali Indonesia.
Textiles were the focus of the trip. From the sacred to the everyday life, textiles act as an important element to hold and give meaning to their culture. The Hindu religion is where the people derive their sense of harmony in their lives. It is a place of balance, the place between opposites constantly being held to. Next time Boroburdur (a Buddhist temple, stupa monument) on the island of Java an hour air flight away.
