Learning About Bali

Learning about about Balinese culture is a wonderful, life changing experience. Bali has one of the most unique and fascinating cultures in the world. This amazing island is known by many evocative names; "The Island of the Gods". "Shangri La". "The Centre of the Universe". It is also one of the world's most popular tourist destinations.

An ideal environment

A chain of awesome volcanoes stretches across the island helping to create an ideal environment for tropical rainforests, cultivated rice fields, mangrove swamps, both black sand beaches (volcanic) and white sand beaches with some world class surf .

Balinese spirituality

The hypnotising sounds of gamelan orchestras, beautiful textiles, intricate paintings and carvings are all interconnected with Balinese spirituality and Balinese religion, Hindu Dharma ; a way of life virtually unchanged over time. It's hardly surprising that people are captivated with this tropical island paradise and for some who come for a holiday it quickly becomes a home and they never leave!

Expats in Bali

Bali is also home to large and dynamic community of professional and creative expatriates . This has resulted in a considerable number of businesses and small industries ranging from furniture exporters to fashion designers establishing themselves and in turn attracting like-minded people. As many of these expatriates have chosen to make their homes in Bali, the number of international accredited schools has increased dramatically over the last five years and now there are quality educational facilities for Japanese, Korean, German, French and English native speakers.

Infrastructure in Bali

The infrastructure in Bali has also been developing rapidly in recent years. Dual carriage ways now connect the international airport at Ngurah Rai to the west and east coasts, broadband satellite internet connections and Wi-Fi hotspots can be found in all major tourist areas and in the residential enclaves of Seminyak and Canggu . It all adds up to create a strong and dynamic cosmopolitan living and working environment in one of the world's most beautiful island paradises.
