20th Back to Bali Dynasty night another great success

On March 12th at the Italian Club in WA we held our 20th ‘Back to Bali Dynasty Party, our biggest Charity Fundraiser of the year!

With resounding support from our travel partners in Perth and Bali including Garuda Indonesia, Air Asia, Asia Escape Holidays, Creative Holidays and New Horizons who consistently support the event, the night was a great success with just over 270 people enjoying a sumptuous Rijsttafel prepared by our own Executive Chef and the kitchen team from the Bali Dynasty Resort.
The annual event has been the major fundraiser for the Bali Dynasty Resort Charity Effort which was established in 2000 in conjunction with the East Bali Poverty Project to give hope to over 60 impoverished Children in North Eastern Bali through education.

Everyone was entertained by a Live Band and as always the highlight of the event was the raffle; with over 140 prizes from Bali's local attractions as well as some airline tickets which were donated courtesy of  Air Asia and Garuda Indonesia.

We would like to thank all of our guests who made the effort to attend and for their generous support to the raffle.

Congratulations to all our Winners!

 

 

First Impressions

It's always an exciting time when we take our team members to Perth for our annual Back to Bali Dynasty Party. For many it is their first time ever to Australia and for some it is even their first time on a plane; so it is interesting to hear their perspective of their visit. Suwiti, our Senior Sales Manager attended this years Back to Bali Dynasty Party and being her first visit to Australia had an opportunity to see around Perth and the surrounding areas and these are a few of her initial observations.

So Suwiti what were the main things that really struck you about Perth and Australia?

Well the first would be the CLEANLINESS! Wow I could not believe how clean everywhere was and organised (perhaps because there were less motorbikes!!) There are a lot of improvements we need to make in Indonesia to care more for our environment and make it  more beautiful!

The next thing would have to be the prices! Sitting in a small coffee shop I saw the price of an omelette was AU$15 and yet we get feedback that our Breakfast is expensive yet we offer a full breakfast buffet with as much as you can eat for just AU$15 so I really don't understand how people can complain!

The last thing was that I was surprised to see some rules such as dress codes, not allowing people to walk around with alcohol, having to wear a helmet on a motorbike etc yet when you are in Bali we tend to think when we see foreigners "Oh perhaps that's what they are allowed to do in their own country?" - this is obviously not the case!

I had a fantastic time and was well looked after by our Australian friends and I look forward to returning the hospitality when they return to Bali!

Balance Body & Mind with Hatha Yoga

Have you heard of Hatha Yoga?

The word "hatha" comes from Sanskrit where "ha" means "sun" and "tha" means "moon". Hatha Yoga is known as the branch of yoga that unites pairs of opposites referring to the positive (sun) and negative (moon) currents in the system. Hatha Yoga tries to achieve balance between body and mind, as well as attempts to free the more subtle spiritual elements of the mind through physical poses or Breathing Techniques or Meditation.

The practice of Hatha Yoga can help you recognize your hidden physical and mental potentials.

Hatha Yoga can also help you cope with stress, relieve tension, and deal with anxiety and depression. More importantly, it will help you put your mind in a focused state to prepare for meditation and eventually, the search for enlightenment.

Hatha Yoga is suitable for adults and is just one of our many activities available  FREE of charge every Tuesday and Thursday from 8 to 9 AM at the Learning Bale in the Bali Dynasty Resort.

Galungan and Kuningan Celebration

March will be a very busy month for Bali’s Hindu community with several auspicious occasions taking place on the island’s cultural calendar.
Galungan will this year be celebrated on the 27th of March 2013. On this day most Balinese will begin their Galungan 'holiday' the day before, where the family is seen to be busily preparing offerings and cooking for the next day. While the women continue to be kept busy with the preparations of the many offerings to be made at the family temple on the day of Galungan, the men also have another job to do this day, once the cooking is finished. A long bamboo pole, or 'penjor', is made to decorate the entrance to the family compound so that all over Bali the visitor can see these decorative poles creating a very festive atmosphere in the street.
Galungan is celebrated every 6 months based on the Balinese calendar. Galungan is celebrated every 210 days. The celebration of Galungan is a symbol of the glory of the Goodness (Dharma) against the Devil (Adharma). 

This Galungan period is also a symbolic representation of a battle between good and evil, and the most important function of Kuningan is to celebrate the victory of good over evil so that the balance and harmony of the world can be maintained.
