Padi Organic

Past the Maya Hotel on the road to Pejeng in the serene rice fields is Padi Organic.  Good food great setting.  I don't know why we don't have shots of the main course, I guess we ate it too fast.  Jalan Raya Laplapan, Ubud.

Bar Luna

Bar Luna

Bar Luna is on Jalan Gootama around the corner from Nomad's Restaurant and less the a kilometer from Tidak Apa Apa House.  Haven't eaten here yet but had a nice drink and watched these guys play for a little while.  They were really good.  I didn't catch their name but I gathered that they played there about once a week.  They allowed customers to sing as well, which wasn't as good...  The mostly played blues but I loved their rendition of the Cure's Love Song.  They did a really good Sympathy for the Devil as well that got the place a little stirred up.

GRASSHOPPERS/BELALANG

'Like looking through a magnifying glass, this painting shows a Balinese

vision of a miniature world of life.  Grasshoppers with bright, iridescent

hues play amidst equally brilliantly colored grass and plants.  Each insect

seems to be given individual, almost human-like qualities, a typical

stylistic feature used by many Balinese artists when dealing with animal

themes.  While perhaps not realistic, the grasshoppers appear harmless

land much more delightful'.
