I am a Brazilian from Rio and came to Bali after having spent 6 months in India. When I arrived my first sensation was “Wow, feels like home”, but in reality - other than the cheerfulness of its people --it couldn t have been more different. There are amazing treasures hidden in the middle of the forests of this gorgeous paradisiac island; rice fields, temples, rivers and waterfalls... and all the BAMBOO! Bamboo plantations and the most amazing bamboo buildings I have ever seen in my life.
