Bali is Top Asian Holiday Destination

Bali is Top Asian Holiday Destination

The readers of an online travel magazine have named Bali as the top holiday destination in Asia for 2011.

The poll, conducted by Smart Travel Asia, also picked out several Bali resorts as the top places for a relaxing break.

Bali took the top spot from Kerala, India, which was bumped down to No. 4. Phuket, Thailand, and Hong Kong were the runners-up, respectively. 

In terms of top places to stay, a number of Bali resorts were included in the top 25 list, including the Bulgari Resort Bali and the Four Seasons Resort Bali at spots 2 and 3, respectively.

The poll also reported on preferred budget airlines, with AirAsia getting the gold star. Indonesia’s own Lion Air failed to chart.

The poll did not specify the number of voters, but the demographics skewed upscale. According to the magazine, voters took an average of 15.75 air trips over the past year and earned an average annual income of $150,000

The Year of the Rabbit. The Chinese New Year begins on Feb 4 this year



The Year of the Rabbit conjures images of fluffy bunnies, but fortunetellers in Asia predict that the coming year on the Asian lunar calendar will be anything but cuddly.



Among key predictions for the new year beginning Feb. 3: terrorist threats, continuing tensions between China and the United States, natural disasters around the world and wobbly global markets.

Even Hollywood celebrity couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie is not immune from the grim predictions. Both were born in Rabbit years, and one fortuneteller sees their longtime relationship coming under increasing strain as the year wears on.

As the Lunar New Year approaches, Asians from Hanoi to Harbin put great stock in the soothsayers' predictions using feng shui - the traditional practice of foretelling events through dates and classical texts.

In feng shui lore, the Year of the Rabbit is associated with the natural elements of metal and wood. This is a likely recipe for conflict, according to Hong Kong-based feng shui consultant Raymond Lo.

Taipei-based colleague Tsai Shang-chi goes even further.

This year the West will suffer from a vicious energy and will be prone to more terrorist attacks," Tsai said. "The East will also be affected by a negative energy, reflected in ongoing tensions on the Korean peninsula."

While Tsai and Malaysian prognosticator Rev Yong offer assurances that the problems between North and South Korea won't escalate into all-out war, Yong is less sanguine about the chances for avoiding an onslaught of natural disasters. He foresees severe flooding around the world, a powerful earthquake in Japan and the emergence of a number of worrisome new diseases.

One of the upshots, he says, will be big problems for the global economy and the possibility of a major stock market plunge toward the middle of the year.

"People think the rabbit is very gentle, but it's not going to be a mild year at all," Yong said. "It won't be a good year. There will be a lot of world conflicts."

Nusa Lembongan Travel Information and List of Hotels

Visit our main site at www.itravelindonesia.com

Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Lembongan Hotels
Nusa Lembongan is one of the 3 islands making up the Nusa Penida chain off the South East Coast of mainland Bali.

Nusa Lembongan offers the most tourist facilities and is a good place to get away from the chaos of Kuta. The island has glorious beaches, excellent surf, numerous dive spots and quiet beaches.

The best time to surf on Lembongan is from late March to October. There are 3 main reef breaks; Shipwreck, Lacerations and Playground.

Divers search for the giant mola mola, a disc shaped fish that grows to 4 feet in diameter. Even if you only snorkel, there are many reefs that are accessible from the beach itself. Otherwise, ask your hotel to organize a snorkeling trip, by boat, to the reefs just off the North Coast of Lembongan.

It takes about 3 hours to do a loop walk around the North of Lembongan. You will pass a lighthouse, seaweed farms, and picturesque ocean vistas.

Most visitors come on a daytrip that are well organized by Quicksilver and Bali Hai Cruises. You will certainly see and hear them from shore. After 4pm, you will have the peace and seclusion to yourself again.

The main town is Jungutbatu, a working village with colorful boats, fishermen and the waroengs selling nasi goring and fried noodles. Mushroom Bay overlooks a beautiful beach and hosts several top end and midpriced hotels.

There is no jetty on Lembongan so be ready to jump in and wade when the boat docks. Much like the Gilis in Lombok.

The Underground House :
One of the most unique attraction at Nusa Lembongan is the under ground house. Owned by Made Biasa the house was built underground using only a hammer, chisel and intuition as guidance. It took 15 years to complete this incredible labyrinth which includes a bedroom, dinning room, kitchen, bathroom and the sacred meditation room.
