like what happened on Kuta beach there are some sellers who force tourists to sit or buy food or goods from them.
what makes some tourists restless is the way they offer it seems to be pushy and chases so that some tourists want to use their services or buy food/drinks or goods from them.
and some tourists have spoken up on twitter/instagram and some other social media about this. please fix this problem because it makes some tourists afraid to travel here and assume that in all tourist attractions there will be sellers like them.
and it is necessary to promote new tourism tourism which has the opportunity to generate a lot of profit, in every tourist place it must be clean and hygienic like a clean bathroom. +

Katharane Mershon (1892 - 1986), was the daughter of musician, Charles Farwell Edson, originally of Chicago, and a prominent political activist, Katherine Philips Edson. Her mother was an important figure in California's Progressive Party in the early twentieth century, influential on behalf of woman suffrage and industrial and social reforms for women.
Katharane did not follow her mother's political and social path, but instead became a dancer. She and her first husband, Harry Gray, toured the United State as a professional ballroom dancing team. She later joined Serge Oukrainsky and Andreas Pavley in Chicago for ballet training, and after divorcing Gray, she married Jack Mershon. Her life was long and full.
Among many experiences, she lived in Bali, absorbing the dance rituals there, traveled in Europe and Angkor Wat, danced in Vienna and Paris, taught ballet at the University of California, and administered the Denishawn School. Mershon developed theories on dance and psychology, expressing her idea that there was much to be done in a field she called "corrective psychology". +
Hi all, I appreciate the concern with reopening and the cautioned approach. However there must be more clarity for countries permitted. Look to places such as the UAE (Dubai in particular) or Seychelles and see how well they opened up. I am an immigrant living in the Middle East and I booked my wedding for July 2022 with the hope you would all be open in time. Don’t limit the countries, make sure people are tested before they arrive and make sure they have insurance for covid, make sure they are triple vaccinated before flying also. Airlines go through thorough checks so the country itself doesn’t have to. I have approximately 10 different nationalities attending my wedding from 15 different countries - keep your rules simple, open to all with minor exclusions when needed. And remove the visa cost - it is not good to charge so much when tourists know it’s going straight to the government. Consider tourism first and the money will come after - do in hotel PCR testing on day 2 if required and charge a little extra there if need be. Keep. It. Simple. If you need an introduction to the tourism CEO for dubai I would be more than happy to help. +

Ketut Kaprus Jaya, contemporary artist in Bali. Born in Budakeling Karangasem Regency Bali, on the 15th July 1970. A veteran of the highs and lows of Balinese Art Industry, he has remained constant to his art with no prevarications. Through three decades of professional art practice, Ketut Kaprus Jaya has maintained and guarded the purity of his creative process. True to self, to the moment, to Nature.

Ketut Madra has devoted his life to the study, preservation, and practice of Bali’s rich cultural arts. Primarily as a painter, but also as a dancer, musician, and community leader, Madra is steeped in the stories and legends at the center of the island’s culture and community. His unique ability to convey action and emotion in a rich and imaginative composition brings the traditional to life for modern audiences, Western and Balinese alike.
Originally from Pengosekan, a small community near Ubud, Madra moved to nearby Peliatan as a young man in the late 1950s to work as a painter for the art dealer Wayan Gedah. At that time he also began studying with Tjokorda Oka Gambir, and learned the techniques and conventions of traditional wayang painting, including the specific colors, iconography, and costume for scores of characters.
Madra started painting exclusively wayang narratives in the early 1960s, and soon developed a reputation as a skillful and original artist. He works with deliberation, and sells work directly from his studio to people who find him, usually through word-of-mouth. Occasionally, trusted local dealers with galleries catering to serious collectors also buy his work.
In 1974, Madra’s work was shown in international exhibitions in the UK and the USA for the first time. In the same year he completed the first bungalow of what would become the Ketut Madra Homestay on his property in Peliatan. Over the next 15 years, he gradually expanded the accommodations for students, travelers, musicians, and artists interested in “a quiet place to learn about Bali.” The homestay has been a central feature in the life of Madra and his family, and has introduced three generations of visitors to his work and to traditional Balinese arts and culture.
At the age of 41, having focused up to that point on work and the homestay, Madra needed something more. Nyoman Kakul, a preeminent dancer of Batuan village who admired Madra’s understanding of the stories told in Balinese dance drama, urged him to learn to perform. More than 30 years later than most Balinese dancers take their first lessons, Madra learned the role of topeng keras, the rough prime minister in the king’s court. He continues to dance more than 30 years later, playing a variety of roles for which he is highly regarded.
Madra also learned as an adult to play the rebab, the two-stringed bowed lute in the gamelan ensemble. He dances and plays regularly with the Tirta Sari gamelan group in Peliatan. Dance, Madra says, is a near perfect complement to his life as a painter. Performing in stories he had only watched and painted brings new insight to character and deeper understanding of the spiritual and devotional nature of both kinds of work.
