Believe it, Doing Free Activity in Ubud Part 1

Bali is exotic like Indonesian women skin, exotic with brown color but TALKING about BALI the FIRST time do you think is BALI so EXPENSIVE. Not really, you can do anything in Bali, especially in UBUD for free. Wow, don't you believe it? I do believe it because I do it holiday in Ubud and I am not spend much money to do anything just for food and rent motor bike. Love it for free activities and also so exciting everyday.

What you can do in Bali for free activities :

 1. Admire Balinese paintings and artists

Since Ubud is Bali’s ‘village of the artists’ it’s only right to start with the painters… Several of Ubud’s major museums charge 50.000 rp entry fees ( $6 US).  While that’s not outrageous, such costs do add up for budget travelers.



These museums all house fantastic collections of Bali’s most famous artists as well as Western painters who were important in the Balinese painting scene. Worth the admission if you can afford it. However, comparably impressive collections are also presented in several important art galleries and dozens upon dozens of small, privately owned galleries around Ubud. Some galleries you can find in UBUD is Arma, Neka Gallery etc.

 But some galleries also we should spend money to enter the gallery but you also can enjoy the art without pay fee. Like I do hahaha, ups I just go around in Jalan Monkey Forest (Monkey Forest Road). There is having many art for sell, but you also can look it for free and if you are interesting you can buy it. So amazing right.

2. Learn about Indonesian textiles

The motto is Threads of Life. The Textile art center. Threads of Life is a non-profit organization that helps traditional weavers throughout Indonesia earn a living from weaving and keep their traditional arts alive. The group currently helps fund, educate, and employ weaving groups on 11 Indonesian islands.

Their only gallery and store is located in central Ubud on Jalan Kajeng, which runs north of Ubud’s main road from the center of town. The gallery offers excellent, educational displays of fabrics from each area of Indonesia.

An educational video runs continuously for visitors to learn more about the villages and Threads of Life. They also have an exhibit showing step-by-step how cotton is made into thread for weaving. Fabrics and woven baskets are on sale in the gallery, albeit at very high prices.
 That words I got from one of tour website about Bali. But when I visit there, the place of Threads of Life is not big as I imagine about display textile of Indonesia. Although that is not big but the design and display so nice to visit it. They also sell some fabric and some products which so nice to buy after know information about textile of Indonesia. If you want to know about textile Indonesia in UBUD you can visit the website The website tell you about the e-commerce site plus of course information about contemporary story of Indonesia's traditional textile arts and document ongoing fieldwork in support and also introducing the cultures.

I hope that is not making you feel bored. Because that is so exciting for me. Although I got lost to find that because I am not imagine the place so small like that but honest that is nice for you to know and feel exciting about Indonesia textile which made it by hand so careful and detail and design so colorful and amazing. I love Indonesia textile......

To be continue already sleepy I don't realize the time already 1.31 am... ah should sleep now
