Bali a high tech resort

The Galungan day and Kuningan day is sacred for bali's people.

At that day not only religius ceremony was held but also the bali's people went home to see their relative's.

Generally The Galungan day happens twice a year but that didn't happen at 2007, it happens only once.

The Balinese have been more exposed to international tourists and generally speak more english than people in other parts of the Indonesian archipelago. They have managed to preserve their culture despite overwhelming foreign influences brought to the region by an ever increasing number of tourists.

Bali is the Hawaii of the East. Of the four million tourists who came to Indonesia in 1994, more than 750,000 flew straight to Bali. The number of foreign and domestic tourists arriving in Bali is now approaching 1.5 million a year. The growth in visitors, which stands at about 10% per year, is expected to continue through the late 1990s. Bali already has a full half of all the hotels in Indonesia.

Bali makes a valuable study in the effects of mass tourism on the social and cultural patterns of an indigenous population. Every generation of visitors arrives to “discover” Bali, pronounce it a paradise, and then once home mourns that it’s lost forever. Visitors are so enthralled with the legend surrounding Bali; many arrive thinking that Indonesia is a part of Bali rather than the other way round.

In bali lots of dogs free on the street. Some are calm some are mad also. so beware :)

Sony PS3 sells more than Wii in Japan

Sony's PlayStation 3 sold 183,217 , Nintendo's Wii sold 159,193 in November In the four weeks in Japan market researcher Enterbrain found.

Tokyo-based Sony slashed the price of the PS3 with 20 gigabytes of hard disk memory by about 10 percent to 44,980 yen (US$409; euro278) from 49,980 yen (US$454; euro308).

The one with 60 gigabytes of memory, which were selling for about 60,000 yen (US$545; euro370), was reduced to about 54,980 yen (US$500; euro339). Sony also introduced a 39,980 yen (US$363; euro246) 40 GB model.

Sousuke Kamei, spokesman for Sony Computer Entertainment, the company's game unit, declined comment on the Enterbrain data as they weren't the company's own or Nintendo's numbers. But he said sales of the 40-gigabyte machines were brisk in Japan.

"Sales are gaining momentum as we head to the year-end, and the availability of more game software for the PS3 is also helping boost sales," he said.

Although its predecessor the PlayStation 2 dominated the gaming market, the PS3 has struggled against the Wii.

Boosting PS3 sales is crucial for Sony's overall business strategy because it also supports the Blu-ray disc next-generation video, which is vying with the rival HD-DVD format.

The Wii has succeeded in drawing people not usually accustomed to playing electronic games by offering easier-to-play games that use a wandlike handheld device for the remote controller.

By October, Nintendo, based in Kyoto, had shipped 13.2 million units worldwide of the Wii, which went on sale late last year. Nintendo, which also makes Pokemon and Super Mario games, is expecting to sell 17.5 million Wiis by the end of this fiscal year, March 31.
