Galungan marks the beginning of the most important recurring religious ceremony that is celebrated by all Balinese. During the Galungan period the deified ancestors of the family descend to their former homes. They must be suitably entertained and welcomed, and prayers and offerings must be made for them. Those families who have ancestors that have not yet been cremated, but are still buried in the village cemetery, must make offerings at the graves.

As well as the family temple, visits are made to the village temple with offerings as well, and to the homes of other families who may have helped the family in some way over the past six months.

If you are here on holiday during this time, you are sure to see parades of Balinese dressed up in their beautiful ceremonial clothes.  Keep your camera on you at all times for some fabulous photo opportunities!!

Time flies when you are having fun and so busy Santa will make a flying visit to The Corner Store on Jl. Lasmana on the 17th December, approximated landing time scheduled for 9am.

Don’t forget to bring your camera!! And time for a scrumptious breakfast!!

Check out Christmas Day at KUDETA as well, lots of activities for the little ones, a visit from Santa, eye candy for the bigger guys and a well deserved rest for the mums (and hopefully some eye candy as well!!)

Whatever you will do on Christmas day and wherever you might be, don’t forget the not so fortunate little ones and give plenty whenever you get the opportunity.

The team from Bali Baby wishes everybody: existing and new clients, family and friends and everybody else on this beautiful planet we call Earth a Merry Christmas 2011 and a happy new year 2012.

See you soon, hohoho

For IDR 100.000 your little ones (2-12) can spend 90 min in the house.

Our 9 year old son loved it!!

From Bey blade city to Lego Land to cinemas 1 and 2!!

There is an Art corner, PS3’s, 5 APPLE MAC computers, plus a safe play area for the really young ones.

You can enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner at the Semara restaurant or just cross the street and enjoy The Biku Tea House experience while your kids are well looked after.
