Postcards from Bali.

There was nothing much to say, just having the thoughts that I really deserved a real vacation. However, since I’m doing a post here, I will still give you some information about Bali, and some beauty tips that based on my experience:)[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]這趟峇里島小旅行，我並沒有特別想要紀錄什麼，就是完全放鬆的拍拍照，吃吃東西，走走看看，沒特別做什麼功課。
其實，旅行就應該是這個樣子，渡個假，何必想那麼多呢？但為了不做個失職的部落客（哈哈），這就來跟大家分享，此行我隨意前往的地方，與一些簡單的保養技巧。[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”3035″ img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”3033″ img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_single_image image=”3054″ img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][vc_single_image image=”3038″ img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Ubud
I didn’t go to many fancy places, the first note that I wanna share is in the mountain of Bali, Ubud. Ubud is not the exact Bali we use to know, there’s no beach, sand, ocean, but Rice Terrace and Rain Forest. I love the green theme here and the beautiful sunrise in the mountain yet the humidity and little insects really defeated me haha. Ubud is a beautiful spot for those who loves nature, yet maybe not for me lol.
If you want to experience the true life as a Balinese, you pretty much has found the right place to go![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Ubud 烏布山區
烏布是峇里島知名的山區景點，梯田谷地和雨林生態是這裡的特色，如果有精神起個大早，這附近的飯店都有提供清晨走山的行程，是體驗當地農業生活和看風景的好選擇。（但懶豬如我當然是沒有參加哈哈）
若要前來烏布，我必須提醒下美麗的女性們，這裏跟平時我們所知道的峇里島實在不同，沒有陽光沙灘海雞蛋花，
蚊蟲、昆蟲跟猴子倒是很多，怕蟲如我就時常被嚇到。
另外就是山中溼度非常高，被褥上都浮著水氣，若不是這區風景真的漂亮，下次我應該不會再到峇里島這麼內陸的地方。
不過人們都說烏布才能體驗峇里島民真正的生活，若對此有興趣，也是挺值得一來的。[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_single_image image=”3036″ img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][vc_single_image image=”3037″ img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][vc_single_image image=”3055″ img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Pura Tirta Empul
In the mountain of Ubud there is this “Pura”, which means temple, that’s known by it’s holy fountain. People come here to take bath in the pool in order to have good health and wealth. Nothing will stop the believers, event the pouring rain. You will be requested to roll wear a salon at the entrance, so don’t worry if you come with a mini skirt or short shorts:)[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Pura Tirta Empul 聖泉廟
烏布山區裡有這座，聽說是用此處聖泉沐浴就可帶來健康與財富的聖泉廟。我去的那天下著陣陣雷雨，但依舊有許多信眾風雨無阻地在此洗澡，穿著衣服跳到池裡的景象，非常值得一看。女生就算穿著短裙短褲也沒關係，現場有沙龍能夠圍上，不過聽說月事來禁止進入，但看門口人也沒在管（是說誰會知道），就看個人迷信程度囉。[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”3040″ img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”3039″ img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Pura Luhur Uluwatu
Down to the south!
After a couple of days that we’ve been staying in the mountain, the ocean was definitely the most pleasant view ever.Here we are at Uluwatu, where the sunset is incredibly well known. You can purchase the ticket that access to the performance of traditional dnance right up the cliff here. I’m a person who’s fund of cliff more then beach. It’s perfect for me here.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Pura Luhur Uluwatu 烏魯瓦圖斷崖廟
來到南部！
山中待了幾天看看海舒坦多了，斷崖廟這邊有著峇里島數一數二的夕陽，數不清的猴子，還有傳統舞蹈表演，對於喜歡沿岸多於沙岸的我來說，看海看得很滿足。[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_single_image image=”3041″ img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][vc_single_image image=”3051″ img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][vc_single_image image=”3046″ img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][vc_single_image image=”3053″ img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][vc_single_image image=”3042″ img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Sundara
After those days being like a real tourist, I decided to be myself again as a material girl lol. A cocktail (or lots of them) and a pool and private beach are the musts.
We came to this restaurant/ pool bar/ beach side Sundara, which is under the name of Four Season resort. It was like a amusement park to me. I spent my whole afternoon linger around the pool, the beach, my daybed and the bar. This is the Bali that I used to know.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Sundara 餐廳
過了幾天絕命觀光客的生活，我決定要來享受一下峇里島的基本行程：在水裡泡一整天，與雞尾酒馬拉松。
於是我來到四季飯店旗下位於金巴蘭的餐廳Sundara，在私人白沙灘和泳池間徘徊。這裏不僅風景美，食物和服務更是一流！市內室外場景都有不同的風味，我中午抵達，在戶外廳堂大傘下吃了個三明治，接著到泳池旁租了一個懶人床，曬熱了就跳到水裡（懶人床低消900000印尼幣，約100美金），傍晚看著海面吹著風，在雞蛋花樹下喝著馬丁尼，人生不過如此啊！（未成年請不要飲酒啊！每次都覺得我這樣當眾飲酒好嗎，但事實是我也快三十了好嗎，金夭壽）[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_single_image image=”3045″ img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”3044″ img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”3043″ img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_single_image image=”3052″ img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][vc_single_image image=”3047″ img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Ayana Resort
We spent our last whole day in Ayana Resort, doing nothing special but hanging around the pool. The watermelon cocktail that I had was a summer limited edition, it tasted like a…well, really drunk fresh watermelon lol. Do notice that the pool bar only opens for hotel’s guests. Our last stop in Bali was probably the most popular place- Rock Bar! It opens at 4:30 but guess what, people started staying in line from 3:30!! So if you are not staying in the resort please come earlier, otherwise you may loose the chance to see the gorgeous sunset of Bali.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Ayana Resort
最後一天我們在Ayana泡了另外一整天，原則上行程與Sundara沒有兩樣，我在泳池畔所點的夏日限定雞尾酒好好味，帶著西瓜的清甜微醺著，不過捧著手有點抖，哈哈，池畔酒吧只對住客開放唷。傍晚時我們前往可說是全峇里島最熱門的酒吧—Rock Bar欣賞夕陽，又是我愛的岩岸。Rock Bar於下午4:30開放入場，住客可免去排隊時間，直接搭纜車下山，也可以選擇走下山，不過膝蓋不好的話不建議喔，因為都是下樓梯的路線。[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]最後我要給大家一個真誠的建議：不要在春夏交際時分來峇里島玩。我們來了六天每天都在下雨！忽晴忽雨的不僅玩得不是很盡興，拍照也很受挫，相片陰灰灰的一片，看得我有種腦死感。但接下來我要給你兩個保養建議，讓你的峇里島假期，至少還有一線生機。我很少在美妝保養上有這麼大的領悟，請張大眼睛看好啦！[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Here I wanna give you a last advice of coming to Bali: Never come between spring and summer!! It rains almost everyday!! Sun seldom shows up, it’s very depressing for either sight seeing or photo shooting. I was about to cry when I saw most of my photo were in nearly grayscale while visiting a tropical country! Anyway, now I’m sharing 2 little things that have saved my life in Bali. I mean, beauty life.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_single_image image=”3049″ img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]第一個是護髮油！！欸，不要以為東南亞是熱帶島嶼空氣潮濕，頭髮就不會壞損，不只是進出泳池或海水會傷害髮質，不知為何峇里島飯店附的洗髮精和潤髮乳，也讓人一頭順髮變成一頭稻草！
這兩款是我平時會使用的護髮油，Melvita的質地比Moroccan Oil清爽，適合天天使用，但Moroccan Oil可以在旅行的最後一天拯救快要毀滅的髮尾。[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]First is the Hair Treatment!! Seriously, any kind of hair treatments that you like. I brought two hair oil with me but have never thought I would have had to use them everyday.
Truth is when you have fun in different kinds of water your hair damaged silently and who knows why the conditioners in Bali’s hotel were so useless. I would say Melvita Argan oil is good for everyday use but Moroccan oil and save your hair from extinguish even on the last day of your trip.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_single_image image=”3048″ img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]第二就是，手上一定要隨時掛著髮圈數枚！隨時遇到怪風、暴雨或熱浪時隨時把頭髮綁起來，或是突然要下水玩耍、或吃東西時也是好幫手。剛好最近別人送我這個L. Erickson的髮圈，因為他滿漂亮的所以我天天掛在手上，想不到在峇里島也救了我一命，重點是他彈性真的很好，有金蔥的髮圈手環放在一起，沒有違和感。我平時總是披頭散髮，因為髮圈漂亮天天戴著，結果在峇里島他居然小兵立大功。~~尤其是在梅雨季節，成功制止了我多次即將大暴走的衝動。~~[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]A Hairbands can definitely save you life in Bali. I’m a slovenly girl most of the time who lives with her hair down all the time. BUT YOU REALLY CAN’T SURVIVE LIKE THIS IN BALI. I got couple of these headbands from L.Erickson in an event as a gift, they are shinny and pretty so I wore them with my bracelets. I NEVER knew they would save me from becoming a GOZZILLA whenever the weather was weird, too humid, too hot or between the pools and the bars.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]哇，這大概是我寫過最常，又最工具文的一篇文章吧。多謝您看完。[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Wow, this is the most useful and one of the longest post I’ve ever made. Hope you enjoyed it.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_single_image image=”3056″ img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]最後就是，這麼長一篇文章，這麼多天的旅程，陪著我暴走這麼多天後（大多數時他也一起暴走），還是讓攝影師露個臉好了。[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Last but not least, after such a long trip, so many explosions of mine (his as well), I think it’s better that I let this guy shows at least one time :P[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
