Bali Underpass Has Begun – Bali Indonesia
Being held up in the Simpang Siur, Kuta, has caused many complaints by the people and tourists. And the solution to this has seen the construction of subways or underpasses commence.
The underpass will be built just below the statue of Lord Ruci, Simpang Siur, Kuta, Bali. Underpass construction was marked by the declaration of construction (ground breaking), Wednesday (21/12/2011). Minister of Public Works Djoko Kirmanto attended the launching of the construction in the north Dewa Ruci statue.
The underpass will facilitate the flow of traffic to Nusa Dua and Denpasar Ngurah Rai International Airport or from region to Nusa Dua to Seminyak. Tourists will feel comfortable if it later came to the area that is now the center congestion.
Construction is expected to be completed during the 18 months to May 2013. Underpass is expected to support the implementation of the APEC Summit in Nusa Dua and AFTA in 2015

Bali Xmas and New Years Accommodation
As we start to approach the end of yet another year, we begin to think seriously about what we want to do over the holiday period. Some will choose to stay home and take on projects that have been set aside all year and have not been completed, while others would like to get away and enjoy some much needed R&R before it all starts again in 2011.
Bali is one of the most sort after destination for holidaying during the Festive Season and with that said accommodation starts to become scarce. Already we are seeing hotels turning away guest requests for this holiday period as rooms become fully booked.
Although there are still rooms, available in different areas of Bali, if you are planning on traveling to Bali, you need to get in quick. The usual Bali hot spot for entertainment and nightlife are filling fast but outside these hot spot areas there is accommodation available if you don’t mind a little bit of traveling.
So if you’re planning a trip to Bali for the festive season and are looking for accommodation, contact us today with your requirements and intended dates of travel and we’ll do our best to accommodate you for your vacation. We can also arrange tours, activities and rental cars for your trip, simply contact us today…we look forward to hearing from you.

Cleaning up Bali and Bali Beaches
Cleaning up Bali Beaches
Bali has geared up to try and get rid of its number one concern, Pollution. With the Bali Clean & Green program, thousands of Balinese took part in cleaning up approximately 50 beaches for beached trash on August 27. This clean up comes in ahead of a ‘Clean Up Bali day’, which is set for September 20, to coincide with ‘Clean Up the World’ weekend.
The coordinator Bali Clean & Green’s, Nunie Kneip said “We are trying to generate greater awareness, having locals and visitors connected and aware about the danger garbage poses, especially plastics”
Bali is part of Indonesia’s archipelago, it is easy for rubbish and trash from one island to wash away to the coast of another islands, and the “trash vortex,” an threatening floating garbage pile almost the size of Texas that floats in the North Pacific, presents its own part to the problem.
South Asia CEO for Rip Curl, Jeff Anderson ”We have a strong determination for environmental responsibility and encourage our crew to participate in preservation with everything we do”. A global surf manufacturer also said in a statement. “Whether rubbish is washed up from the ocean currents or discarded directly on the island’s beaches, our job is to bring greater awareness to the situation both locally and worldwide”

Australians keep visiting Bali
Bali, Indonesia
“My second home is Bali” is what more and more Australians are saying, this is based on the newest tourism figures for January to July released by the Bali tourism office.
Ida Bagus Subhiksu, Chief of Bali Tourism Office, said approximately 50 percent more Aussies have visited during the January-July period this year than the same time last year.
Ida Bagus Subhiksu said the increase was greater than predicted and it was wonderful news due to the fact the Australian government had recently issued a revised travel advisory regarding the June taxi driver demonstration in Denpasar and Kuta.
“It’s great that Australians consider Bali as their second home despite the warnings,” Subhiksu said.
The Australians are not alone when it comes to a love affair with Bali. More travelers from countries like Taiwan, Britain, Singapore and the Netherlands have visited during the January-July period
