UbudLife MAG Om Swastiastu, and welcome to our new edition of Ubud Life. This issue covers Bali’s mid year high season so we hope you will find plenty of interest. This is the time when the weather is perfect and the streets are full of traffic, but head out from Ubud’s centre, perhaps join a retreat and enjoy Bali’s beauty rather than spend all your time in the streets. Spa and massage are easily available, as well as mani pedis, hairdressers and colourists, healers and yogis. Why not take advantage of all that Ubud has to offer. Restaurants of all cuisines – Indian, Mexican, Italian, Greek, Japanese and Balinese and Indonesian and not forgetting the extraordinary proliferation of vegetarian and vegan eateries that have popped up recently. Good food is easy to find and the only thing is to have enough time to try a selection. This issue we have the beguiling pix of photographer Luciana Ferrero, an avid lens lady who spends huge amounts of her time at ceremonies around the island. These pictures of a ceremony in a remote part of the island are especially interesting and it is only a very few foreigners who get to witness this. Please enjoy your time in Bali and if you are on a bike, drive carefully. Don’t let the holiday spirit go to your head – you could lose it. Om Shanti Shanti Shanti Om
