What to Do – Kuta and Seminyak

Most of them young Australians. The bomb killed more than 200 people and werwhelmed the capacity of thelocal hospital. An exemplary mobilisation of donors and volunteers, many of them belonging to the expatriate community of Bali , helped to provide care for the victims – especially the Indonesian people who could not afford expensive treatment. After the tragedy, many feared reprisals against the Muslim and Javanese migrants working in Bali (the crime was perpetrated by Java-based group acting in the name of Islam). Yet the Balinese showed how a community with a strong sense of self and spirituality can respond to violence peacfully.

Leaders ­of various faiths prayed side-by­- side during purification ceremonies, sending messages of hope to their members.. As you pass along Jl. Legian, not far from the 14 Roses Hotel, take time to stop at the little memorial erected at the bomb site. Plain and dark, it has the list of the victims and small altar where people deposit flowers, pictures, and cards. Anyone who loves Bali and peace will find it hard not to shed a tear. A Sunset Ritual on Seminyak Beach Everyday between 5:30 and 7pm, the sun at Kuta Beach gets ready for its compulsory ritual of painting the sky in bright yellows, reds, and purples.

And because every sunset is different and free, the legendary beach gathers dozens of admires every evening. With a drink in hand or just a relaxed smile, strangers sit on the sand and become friends for a while. With fewer pushy vendors than Kuta, no noisy road, and a good frontline of relaxed cafes, the beach at Seminyak, at the end of Jl. Double Six, is perfect for a friendly sunset. For a more trendy, upmarket experience, get a cocktail and try grab a lounge chair in the beautiful setting of Kudeta Bar, on Jl. Laksmana - the perfect place to see and to be seen. To escape the crowds, go further north to Canggu, and have a sunset drink at the Beach House on Eco Beach . Bali Recovery

Two web sites have been set up after the Kuta bomb­ing, acting as a hub for sharing information and gathering funds to help the victims and their families.
