Nusa Dua was design for the luxury five star hotel lining the white sand beach, it was an arid fishermen village but now change into the site for accomodating visitors from several countries. It has a public beach between two small islands. Many food and drink stall await for you while yo do sunbathing or swimming. The beach here has low and high tide, you need to check first for the tide otherwise you can not swim in this protected lagoon by the barrier reef.
The beach is the playground for surfers, still can see some teak trees while walking through the lane leading to the beach. Need a little walk down pass many step as the characteristic of all Pecatu village beach is the cliff. Small warungs offer simple food and drinks, massage women and sellers offers basic Bali merchandise. When its high tide you may see surfers on the wave or the beach become quite lagoon with crystal clear water lapping the white sand.
Bali has a tropical climate and there are all year round of this flowers. It can be white, red, yellow, pink or mix colours. The flower is very important among Balinese as used on the small offerings "Canang", a square form of young coconuts leave put inside any kinds of flowers, a slice of sugar cane and leaves as a thanksgiving expression to God. Balinese called frangipani as Jepun, there are "jepun bali" and "jepun jawa", the wood of jepun bali is prized by woodcarvers for making free - form statues, while "jepun jawa" trunk is softer then the bali one but the "jepun jawa" is the widely distributed, it can be found in every type of environment from the house compound till temple yards. The bali frangipani is in a smaller size then the jawa one. Women thread this flower in their hair, men wear them behind an ear or stuck in "udeng", a head band.
In Bali not all the deceased cremated directly, most of them buried but after several years because of there is no more space in the cemetery to bury the dead body the community conduct a mass cremation. This cost cheaper than the private one. In cremation we need to make a tower to transfer the dead body from our house to cemetery and make a sarchopagus in the form of animal mostly black bull as a media to cremate the dead body.
