All over Bali, along the roadsides, you will see these 'petrol stands' selling gas for motorcycles. Most are kept in Abolute bottles, we guess because they're glass and 1 liter each. It's a saftey thing!!
Also all over Bali, along the roadsides, you will see roosters kept under baskets. We were told that they could not be allowed to walk freely because they would fight with each other. Apparently they were only allowed with the hens one at a time.
In some of the traffic circles there are huge statues of Hindu Gods. It's hard to snap a photo as we speed by.
In new construction, and in buildings that just appear unstable, long bamboo poles are used as support braces.
Geckos are to Bali what cockroaches are to New Orleans; but less horrible! This particular gecko was about 10" long and 1.5" wide. He was a bug eating machine and apparently a permanent resident at the Sinar Bali restaurant where he spent his evenings hanging out by the light bulbs eating unsuspecting moths.
This is a Warung for locals and adventurous tourists, like us, willing to eat as the locals. You selected your items from the glass shelves in front and from the hot pots down the side, then you paid based on the items you selected. Kind've like A&G or Morrison's Cafeterias.
Bali's version of Meals on Wheels or Nola Lucky Dog vendors.
The Balinese cargo van. There is not a thing in the world that cannot be hauled on a motorcycle!!
Balinese in-line family sedan. Wonder why dad's the only one wearing the helmet. Kids........ we can always make more of them. Mom........ her head scarf and Allah are protecting her.
Many women could join the bull riders in a rodeo. They are fearless as they ride, side saddle, in their long sarongs, holding on to their stuff, as the driver weaves through traffic. They hold onto nothing on the motorcycle, merely balancing.
