TISN. 11. Read the text carefully, then answer the questions! The Island of Gods Last August I went to Bali with my family. I was so excited because it was my first time to visit the island. We spent five days there. The first thing which came to my mind at the first time I arrived at Ngurah Rai Airport was beach. When I stepped out from the plane and breathed, I sniffed the smell of sea water. It made me more excited to start our trip in Bali. My family and I visited many interesting places there. We went to Tanah Lot, Uluwatu, Kuta Beach, and Tanjung Benoa. Even though there are so many beaches in Bali, I was not bored with them because each beach was unique. Tanah Lot is a rocky beach with wild waves. It has big caves and rocks surround the beach. Uluwatu lies on the top of cliff. From that place we could see the sea view which was the most gorgeous scenery I have ever seen. Kuta beach may be the most famous beach in Bali. There were both local and foreign tourists surfing or just sunbathing. The best time to come to Kuta beach is in the evening to see the sunset. It was so romantic. Tanjung Benoa is a very nice beach. The wind and waves were just right to do water sport. I did not want to miss this chance and tried to do parasailing. At first, I was so afraid because I would be flying high. It turned out that when I was flying, l'enjoyed it very much. I could see the view of the city from the sky. Beside the beaches, Bali is also famous for its culture. I could see it from the Balinese's life. Along the road I saw that almost all buildings have small pura at the front side. Every morning, they always pray and put sajen or offerings, at their pura, house, shop or even in their car. I also saw the abundance of Balinese culture through the well known dances of Bali, Barong, and Kecak. Barong Dance tells about a fight between good and evil, between Barong and Rangda. At the end, Barong won, and Rangda ran away. I was amazed by the female dancers. They were so beautiful and their movements were supple, yet energetic at the same time. In the evening, I watched Kecak Dance. The story in Kecak Dance is taken from Ramayana. I had the impression that Kecak Dance was mystical but also astonishing at the same time. At the end of the trip, we went to Sukawati market to buy souvenirs for ourselves and friends. You could find almost anything about Bali in Sukawati market. I found a cute dress for myself, wooden craft statue, sandals, hair accessories, and paintings. What make this market special are the friendly sellers and friendly price. The goods are so cheap if you know how to bargain. Finally, we have come to the end of the trip. I felt that time ran so fast. I was so sad because I had to leave that beautiful place. In Bali, I did not only visit beautiful places but I also learned about its culture. I would always remember my beautiful trip in Bali and promised myself to go back there again another time.
