Caption: 10 Things to Do
In #Ubud
#Bali
Caption: You should know that Bali—or more specifically, Ubud and its surrounding villages—is not paradise. At least, not in the way you may think about paradise. Yes, you will be awed at the towering palm trees framed against blue skies on the edges of gleaming rice fields. And you may float blissfully in a glimmering infinity pool beside flowering frangipani trees. But after that, erase images of the quaint tropical village you may have pictured as you read Eat, Pray, Love and replace it with disheveled, glorious chaos.
Like many before me, I fell in love. I fell in love with the broad smiles, the generous hospitality, the eagerness to please, the culture of faithful giving and the unerring belief in the power of the gods. Ubud is magic. Go explore.
