Today in Bali is the day before Nyepi Day. It’s a national day of quiet, nobody works, no technology, no tv or even lights. It’s a national day of quiet reflection.
There has been festivities leading up to this day but none greater than the night before.
Tonight really highlighted the difference in our cultures. There were men in scary masks and huge moving statues just as scary. Aussie kids wouldn’t sleep for weeks after seeing this but to the Balinese it’s a beautiful night.
Anyway I’m respecting their culture and tomorrow during Nyepi I’ll be having a good hard look at myself in the mirror and work out if I’m in my perfect world. For me it will be focused on health and work balance. Wish we had a similar day in Australia
