In Reply to: NYEPI DAY ??? posted by Fly boy on Thursday, 23. February 2006 at 03:17 Bali Time:
Hi,
Been in Bali a number of times for Nyepi. You can not leave your hotel, it is guarded and you will not be able to move from the hotel.
The lights in the hotel are dimmed and no music is allowed to be played. They will ask you to be quiet in the pool area. The restaurant in the hotel will cater for your needs but are also restricted. It's quite nice to have a day to think about the meaning of the day. Enjoy it.
The next day it takes a while to get everyone back to work so you need not run out early for the very important purchase.
We had to fly out years back and had security take us to the airport. Through check points. The place was so desserted. Only dogs and men on corners in traditional dress with krises in their sashes. I don't think you can fly out or in now?
Emjoy.
