Yoga course and river rafting, shadow theatre and moonlight party: Thomas Blubacher, who has been returning to Bali again and again for more than twenty years, takes us through the luxury resorts in Nusa Dua, over the "Ballermann" of Kuta and to the lava beach in Lovina. He travels to the neighbouring Java and Lombok as well as to the diving-dorado of the Gili-Islands. He reveals why in Indonesia's Hindu enclave every place must have at least three temples and why all Balinese are painters, woodcarvers or dancers. What significance the mysterious toilet stick figures have and what else you should try in the kitchens besides saté skewers. And he explains adeptly where you can best cast out demons or get a massage like a real princess.
