A Word Of Advice

ATTENDING CEREMONIES:

Remember these are serious occasions and should be treated as such. Religious guidelines:

• Always wear a sarong and sash.

• Do not walk in front of people that are praying.

• Do not use a flash camera or point your camera into the priest’s face!

• Never sit higher than the priest or the offerings.

• At cremations, do not get in the way of the attendees – however important that photographic opportunity is!

• Women are not allowed to enter temples during menstruation.

Note:

When attending Special Ceremonies or Anniversary Celebrations as a guest, small donations are gratefully received. Your donation will help in paying for the offerings, and upkeep of the temple.

DANGEROUS SPORTS:

Make sure you either have personal insurance or travel insurance that will cover any accident.

DRIVING:

In Bali, always expect the unexpected, always keep your eyes open and your mind on driving. Beware of motorbikes! It is best to rent a car with full insurance as this will save time and money if you are involved in an accident.You must use a helmet at all times and have a valid license.
