巴厘(bali)是印度尼西亚著名的旅游区,是爪哇以东小巽他群岛中的一个岛屿,面积约5560多平方公里,人口约280万。巴厘西距首都雅加达约1千多公里,与首都雅加达所在的爪哇岛隔海相望,相距仅1.6公里。 该岛由于地处热带,且受海洋的影响,气候温和多雨,土壤十分肥沃,四季绿水青山,万花烂漫,林木参天。
重要数据:
地理:位于爪洼岛以东,南面是印度洋。东西长140公里,南北宽90公里。北部多山,其中最著名的是京那马尼火山。
人口:300万,多数人生活在南部沿海地区。
语言:官方语言为印度尼西亚语,旅游相关行业从业者多会讲简单英语。
宗教:主要信仰阿加玛印度教(Agama Hindu),少数人信仰当地宗教、佛教、伊斯兰教等。
民族:主要为巴厘岛的原住民,拥有自己的巴厘语言及文字。
时区:东8区,与中国无时差。
巴厘岛上居民多数信奉印度教,人死后尸体都要焚化,然后将骨灰抛入大海,以使死者灵魂升至天堂。人去世后,一般暂把尸体埋于地下,等一切筹备就绪,选好吉日,才将尸体挖出放入牛、狮、鸟、莲花等形状的棺木内,然后将其放在特制的塔型木架上,举行隆重的火葬仪式。塔型木架层数取单数,一般为3——9层,筹备时间可长可短,有的几天,有的数日甚至数年。塔型木架的大小及仪式的隆重程度,全凭丧宾的身份、地位及财力。
在巴厘人的观念中,他们不认为死亡是件悲伤的事,所以葬礼活动场面非常热闹。在经过有乐队、舞者、司仪参与的一整套仪式之后,才把死者送上天堂。
终于 结束了
Are you a Duck or an Eagle??? ~ Worth reading...
No one can make you serve customers well.
That's because great service is a choice.
Harvey Mackay, tells a wonderful story about a cab driver that proved this point.
He was waiting in line for a ride at the airport. When a cab pulled up, the first thing
Smartly dressed in a white shirt, black tie, and freshly pressed black slacks, the cab driver jumped out and rounded the car to open the back passenger door for
He handed my friend a laminated card and said:
'I'm Wally, your driver. While I'm loading your bags in the trunk I'd like you to read my mission statement.'
Taken aback,
Wally's
To get my customers to their destination in the quickest, safest and cheapest way possible in a friendly environment.
This blew
As he slid behind the wheel, Wally said, 'Would you like a cup of coffee? I have a thermos of regular and one of decaf.'
My friend said jokingly, 'No, I'd prefer a soft drink.'
Wally smiled and said, 'No problem. I have a cooler up front with regular and Diet Coke, water and orange juice.'
Almost stuttering,
Handing him his drink, Wally said, 'If you'd like something to read, I have The Wall Street Journal, Time, Sports Illustratedand USA Today.'
As they were pulling away, Wally handed my friend another laminated card.
'These are the stations I get and the music they play, if you'd like to listen to the radio.'
And as if that weren't enough, Wally told
he advised
the sights or, if
'Tell me, Wally,' my amazed friend asked the driver, 'have you always served customers like this?'
Wally smiled into the rear view mirror. 'No, not always. In fact, it's only been in the last two years. My first five years driving, I spent most of my
time complaining like all the rest of the cabbies do. Then I heard the personal growth guru, Wayne Dyer, on the radio one day.
He had just written a book called You'll See It When You Believe It.
Dyer said that if you get up in the morning expecting to have a bad day, you'll rarely disappoint yourself. He said, 'Stop complaining! Differentiate
yourself from your competition. Don't be a duck. Be an eagle. Ducks quack and complain. Eagles soar above the crowd.''
'That hit me right between the eyes,' said Wally. 'Dyer was really talking about me. I was always quacking and complaining, so I decided to change my
attitude and become an eagle. I looked around at the other cabs and their drivers. The cabs were dirty, the drivers were unfriendly, and the customers
were unhappy. So I decided to make some changes. I put in a few at a time. When my customers responded well, I did more.'
'I take it that has paid off for you,'
'It sure has,' Wally replied. 'My first year as an eagle, I doubled my income from the previous year. This year I'll probably quadruple it.
You were lucky to get me today. I don't sit at cabstands anymore. My customers call me for appointments on my cell phone or leave a message on my answering
machine. If I can't pick them up myself, I get a reliable cabbie friend to do it and I take a piece of the action.'
Wally was phenomenal. He was running a limo service out of a Yellow Cab. I've probably told that story to more than fifty cab drivers over the years,
and only two took the idea and ran with it. Whenever I go to their cities, I give them a call. The rest of the drivers quacked like ducks and told me all
the reasons they couldn't do any of what I was suggesting.
Wally the Cab Driver made a different choice. He decided to stop quacking like ducks and start soaring like eagles.

聚会元素:steamboat/ Tiramisu蛋糕 / 夜景 / 巧克力甜点 /聊八卦 /海边沙滩嬉戏~
似乎很久没有这样的聚会了。想象中的聚会场景应该是这样的:
在一个大雪纷飞的寒冷夜晚,在一个有熊熊燃烧的壁炉的偌大客厅,几个亲密好友裹着毛毯,横七竖八地陷在宽大柔软的沙发里,喝茶、听音乐,看碟,聊天,直到天亮。
只不过,很抱歉,现实与梦想总有距离:
某人说我们都长大了,不再可以像儿时般供枕。。
窗外是青黄不接的炎炎夏日以及绵绵细雨,我家的客厅狭仄拥挤,更没有壁炉,我们也不用裹着毛毯,因为这会使我们闷出一身痱子,还有,我家小小的白色布艺沙发即不足够宽大,也不足够柔软,我们甚至不能全部半躺下来。
当然,我们也无法彻夜长谈到天亮,我们拥有的,不过是一个下午的时间。所以,亲爱的朋友们,只好委屈你们将就着,在我们还不能完全理想化的生活里,来一次完全的快乐聚会。
所幸,我们都是很容易满足的人。我们只是偶尔学一下好运气的杉菜,做一些奢侈的梦,但这并不防碍我们继续我们的正常生活。其实,只要有共同渴望温暖的心,那就一定会是个美丽快乐,值得记忆的聚会。更何况,我们还有甜点、美酒、鲜花,还有动人的爱情故事。
似乎很久没有这样的聚会了...期待...
