Mrs Mills Bali Trip

I had an awesome trip to Bali and visited many of the places you recommended. Here are a few pictures from my trip. Find out about what or why is happening in them.



1. These little parcels are left outside everyday. You see them everywhere. What are they for?

They are called Cananag Sari and they are made to thank the gods in praise and pray. You will see these offerings in the temples, on small shrines in houses, and on the ground or as a part of a large offering.

2. It was the first day back at school when we arrived. These kids meet their teachers at the beach. They were about your age. Find out about school in Bali.

Most schools in Bali start at 9am-11am they finish vary from 1pm-4pm. They go to school 6 days a week Monday-Saturday but in New Zealand we go to school 5 days a week Monday-Friday.

3. They have tanks of these fish everywhere. You pay $3 to soak your feet in them for 15 mins. The fish nibble at your feet. Find out what type of fish they are and what they are doing?

They are called Garra rufa fish. They nibble all your dead skin off your feet which makes your skin feel really soft, and no dry skin will be left.

4. This was taken at a batik factory. What is batik?

Batik is a type of fabric dyeing method using wax to create patterns and designs.This method makes use of a resist technique, applying areas of cloth with wax (a dye-resistant substance) to prevent them from absorbing colours when the cloth is dipped into the dye. Not only as a dye-resistant substance, the wax applied is also used to control colours from spreading out from a particular area to create motif when the dye is painted.

5. This is the Saraswati Temple in Ubud. Who is it dedicated to?

The Saraswati temple is in Ubud, it is dedicated to the Hindu Goddess Saraawati.
